Archive:Giants: Difference between revisions

Giants are an ancient race of seemingly humanoid creatures, characterized by their great size, hence the name "Giant". Giants can reach nearly 12 blocks tall, 6 times taller than the average Alathran man. Giants posses a grotesque, misshapen complexion, complete with a dull green hue and pigmentation. They appear to be adorned in abused, makeshift tunics, suggesting some intelligence. Some Alathrans, often known as "Giantslayers", devote their lives to the extermination of Giants. An unequipped and unknowledgable person will almost surely die upon confronting one. An arrow from a bow will pierce no Giants hide, for it is too armorous and thick. A successful Giantslayer will be revered in [[Alathra]] as a great warrior, fueled by the lucritive collection of a Giants head, although many die to an alleged "3 swift strikes" from the beast. A Giant can allegedly summon other monstrous creatures to its aid, possibly pointing to a Giants ancient sole purpose, but this remains little more than myth in the eyes of Alathran scholars and historians.
