Goals

Myths and histories include many explanations for the decline of giants’ ancient empires. The Stewards of the Eternal Throne posit the ancient giants failed in their responsibility to care for the lesser peoples of the worlds. Instead of tending the world the giant gods made and guiding their inhabitants toward greater wisdom and prosperity, the giants tried to rule the worlds, exploit their resources, and subjugate their peoples. For this sin, the stewards believe the gods cast down the giants’ empires. Only by undoing that folly can giants return to their intended place and regain the gods' favor.
Members of the Stewards of the Eternal Throne swear an oath of service to the order’s mission.

• Stewardship. We are custodians of the world, not rulers, and we work to preserve what has been entrusted to our care.
• Protection. Smaller and weaker peoples deserve our protection, not subjugation. We are strong and shelter the smaller folk behind our strength.
• Education. Though we have forgotten much of the wisdom of our ancestors, we strive to ensure all peoples can pursue wisdom, learning, and enlightenment.
• Peace. We foster peace among all peoples. All who desire to live peaceably together are welcome among us.

Admittance

Knights of the Stewards of the Eternal Throne are mostly giants (predominantly cloud and storm giants), but the order have been known to accept goliaths, firbolgs, and members of other peoples into their ranks.

Relationships

The principle of peace leads the knights to cooperate with other peoples, especially with beings they regard as near equals in age and importance, including dwarves, elves, and dragons. If a fundamental sin of the ancient giants was warring with these folk in the early years of the world, then cooperation with them is essential to undoing that sin and charting a new course for giantkind and other peoples. As part of this commitment, the stewards honor not just the gods of the giants, but also the gods revered by these other folk.

Hierarchy

The Stewards of the Eternal Throne are organized as a chapter of a knightly order. The chapter is led by a chief steward.
