Giantlands

A stretch of the Forlorn Mountains played host to the Storm Kings of old, great storm giants who possessed castles that floated upon clouds and fortresses atop the highest peaks. The Ancient Ones of the lowlands knew of their legend and gave homage when the great storms swept down from the mountains. But these despots of old disappeared long before the arrival of the first Hyperborean scouts, and little remains of that legendary kingdom save for a stretch of peaks in the Forlorns called the Giantlands.
This range still serves as home to an inordinate number of giants. Other than deep in the Stoneheart range, there is perhaps nowhere else in Lloegyr that serves as home to a greater concentration of giants than these peaks. Only the hardy dwarves of the Targ Mountain Clan dared live close to them, and Old Burgundia long reinforced its southern border with companies of heavily armed knights and Erskaelosi mercenaries. Giants of many sorts still live in the Giantlands, though it is believed that all of the storm giants left and few enough cloud giants remain. Strangely, fire giants have never been known to be found in this region. These giants live in various holds, steadings, and caves in conditions ranging from comparable of that to the Heldring of the lowlands to absolute squalor. They hunt in small bands but rarely leave the mountains themselves in any numbers. Not in two centuries has a powerful-enough chieftain arisen to unite the various groups into an organized invasion, though some fear that another one cannot be far off. Recently, giants have been raiding into the Duchy of Southvale with increased frequency, often led by fire giants, which many consider an especially alarming event, suggesting that a new chieftain may be emerging.
