What do you know about the Giant clans of Overthere? First of all, they
did not call their own clan OverThere! But, if you asked the neighboring
towns and villages, Where do Giants roam? They would point off yonder and
say, Over There. The OverTheres, could be considered a Lost Clan. Being
separated from other Giants was a boon to many of the surrounding
inhabitants. For while they were of the powerful Fire variant of Giants,
they mostly kept to themselves. The trade routes opened new interactions.
They exotic meats they offered were a new delicacy. A bit, singed but,
creative enough to be in demand.
Being secluded from the world, the OverThere clan developed their own
stories of how the world worked. Their curiosity for knowledge was
paramount. How did they world come to be? Simple enough, the Great Horned
One in one swoop stabbed the life orb. A great explosion occurred and soil
filled the gaps. Now, a Unicorn is they sacred animal. Go figure. Just
dont argue with an Overtherian about the logic of it. They do get defensive
about their lore. So, when their Hunters traveled out with their caravans
for protection, the lands were introduced to a new degree of Rage. Rage
that could fuel kilns. Pleasant as they may seem, they did possess powerful
warriors and berserkers. That is where Kilvar becomes the topic of our
interest.
Not the chieftains son. That is not the kind of story you will find here.
Is he a brute? Yes. He was fascinated to no end with stories, with
knowledge and with the nature of death. He wanted to travel far into the
cold regions. To find the storied, Ice Caravan Killer. In places his kin
dare not venture. They were confounded by these ideas. And wished he could
be more like mild mannered, stick to the script, ElkSlaymore. A champion
Hunter. But, I digress. You did not come here to learn about Furyless
giants. You want to know what makes Kilvar tick. So, then what else drove
him to leave his clan behind. Well, perhaps it was when he discovered that
other larger races existed. Knowledge of Masonry Giants, and Windy Giants,
filled his mind with ideas. Not to mention, creatures known as Woah-tons,
and the fabled Minnow-Tars. How did they work? Did they follow the same
guidelines as his people? Was there an Ordening? Was there a hierarchy?
Would he ever see a Unicorn?
Kilvar Stronghart, has been many things in his time with his clan a binder,
a baker, a candlestick maker. But never a leader. Would he be accepted by
other Giant races? There was one way to find out. Thats when things picked
up steam. No pun intended.
Description (commended):
As you move closer to the giant, there is an intense smell of wildflowers
and manure. Staring into the obsidian black orbs called eyes, you can see
infinite darkness. Giving you an impression that they are either
thoughtless or a brooding bore. There is fear in him. His eyebrows arch
high and are uncomfortably bushy. As if etched across his face, is a
borderline charismatic smile. The hue of his skin invokes an aura of
warmth. His large arms completely smooth and devoid of any blemishes. The
same can be said about his massive upper body. His legs are pillars of
holding up the enormity of his torso. He is a walking siege tower. His
moves deliberately, almost as if every step is calculated. A voice is deep
and melodic bubbles out of him. The sound cascades down to his feet and
dissipates into the ground, in a low rumble, like a herd of approaching
horses or a gaggle of geese.
