Giants are, well, giant. They are peculiar creatures who tower over all other humanoid races. It is rumored that the Giants were once part of a single civilization, but there is no proof of this having been the case. For one thing, Giants seem to lack the mental capacity for the organized thought necessary for such a thing to occur.

Today, Giants are scattered throughout the Old World, most content to live amongst the "littl'uns" as soldiers of fortune in exchange for a steady supply of food and drink.

In between their many feedings, Giants are warriors of frightening effectiveness, as long as they're steered in the proper direction. A Giant's club can pulp an entire unit of troops, to say nothing of those who have the misfortune to end up as a mid-fight snack.
