Giant

From Erudite Tales
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Giants are enormous humanoids, averaging around 150 meters in height. They are found exclusively on the continent of Bhari’Adavi where they live in nomadic tribes that hunt and fish. Their biological functions are supported by the immense amounts of ekati radiation in the area and as such, they cannot survive longterm beyond their own lands.

Technology

Giants rarely stay in one place for more than one year as they are constantly moving around to obtain resources. They build shelters out of Bhari Tree wood as well as the bones of dragons and other similarily-sized creatures.

Despite their limited technology, they display a surprising level of sophistication. They are known to cultivate Jawtrap plants to aid in catching prey. Whatever food they catch, they leave some for the Jawtrap plant as a "payment", giving back to the land in some way.

Language

Giants speak different dialects depending on the region - with the language of North Bhari’Adavi being drastically different. However, most mortals cannot hear when giants talk as they speak at a frequency range beyond normal hearing. The only known mortals that can hear giants speak are the Emuka and some subraces of elves. As such, to communicate with other mortals, giants will instead use hand signals and body language.
