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 Alathran'sAlathrans, often known as "Giantslayers", devote their lives to the extermination of Giants,. Giantslayers, although anAn unequipped and unknowledgable person will almost surely die aponupon confronting one. An arrow from a bow will pierce no Giants hide, for it is too armorous and thick;. and aA 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 un-proven. Some scholars believe [[Mount Xeno]] in [[Arith]] to be the birthplace and homeland of the Giants, although no further research into there origins has been conducted.

From an Encavian text by Stevius Blockius Draconius:
Some scholars believe [[Mount Xeno]] in [[Arith]] to be the birthplace and homeland of the Giants, although no further research into there origins has been conducted.
 
From a textbook about Jurgen culture:
In [[Jurg|Jurgen]] folklore, the Giants are said to be the cursed, weakened forms of a race called the Titans. The Titans were nearly indestructible and brought unspeakable devastation to Alathra. No man, beast, or plant was safe from their wrath. The Titans ravaged the earth for millenia before they were finally stopped by the Jurgen shamans. The ancient witch doctors put a curse upon the Titans that would leave them sickly and confused for eternity. It is unclear what magic keeps the Titans in their weakened forms, but the Jurgs pray to the gods that they stay the way they are now.
