Introduction
Giants are the largest of the humanoids, they are the great seers of ancient times, once their purpose was meant to be to guide the world, but now they have been driven to the edges of the continent, living far away from the corporeals.
They can be found in most mountain ranges, at the heights that corporeals rarely reach. Their largest known populations live on reianmye, which is mostly untouched by the younger races.
Appearance
Their appearance is that of large humanoids, with strong arms and thick legs to hold up their large bodies, that have wide feet to prevent them from sinking into the ground, and they have sturdy faces, with large noses.
Their center of mass is also lower than normal, giving them a slumped-over look.
They are very hairy creatures, and in addition to the hair on their head, most of their limbs are covered in body hair, even the women.
They will wear the furs of whatever animal they are herding, which depends on where they live, on the continent, this is commonly large types of bovine or mountain goat, they are also known to have domesticated the Warg, to the giants they are but mere puppies.
Living Habits
They live in small families, usually parents with their children and sometimes and children. They are nomadic herders, and they will move camp every few weeks,
They eat whatever they can get their hands on, as their giant bellies are always rumbling, a slaughtered cow only lasts them a single day, with all of them eating from it together, therefore they also forage a lot, and they will hunt for food, they are also not known to waste any other kills they make, such as any orcs that attacked them.
Combat prowess
While they are generally calm and gentle beings, shy if anything. When provoked, they will attack with great speed and incredible strength. Giants don't use swords, but instead, they will swing giant war hammers or clubs down on you.
They are often fighting with orcs, who would take their herds from them, in these instances giant families might band together and go to war.
Magic
Being mystics, giants possess powerful magic, they don't have any combat-related magic, because that is what their incredible strength and speed is for. Instead, their magic is that of sight. They can see glimpses of the future, as well as the intentions of others. Giants can use their magic to commune with each other from across the world, in addition to simply being able to see everything under the horizon in great detail, even from very far away

The Moot
Occasionally, once every few hundred years or so, the giants call a moot, where they come together, usually on reianmye, and discuss giant things. They don't build boats, but fortunately, they are skilled and powerful swimmers.
New World
With the discovery of the mystic lands to the east, many new giant populations were also found, not much is known of them, but this promises of many more giant discoveries to be made in the future.
