STONE GIANT
Stone giants make up about a third of all giants in Serin. During the Great
War, giants were the hired muscle that both sides of the fighting used to
form their main offense, their power easily affected the outcome of the war.
After the war ended, the gods did with the giants as they saw fit. For
their aloofness, having stayed away from the fighting, Virgil commanded that
the rest of the immortals left them be, as long as they remained neutral.
Though they suffer the same slowness of mind that the other giant races are
troubled with, they remain true to their original form. The stone giants
wandered into the wilderness of Serin. The race of stone giant continued to
care only for its own welfare, for rarely would they see others, and became
ignorant of cities and laws. Most stone giants are self-centered and do not
concern themselves with the bigger picture of politics. They believe those
that sit around talking of war and peace are wasting the moment, and each
moment that is wasted is a chance for meaningful action squandered. Stones
do not discuss affairs of fighting with others, they are driven to creating
the history in the way the moment calls for. A stone giant does not wish to
be tied down in any way with contracts and treaties. As natural wanderers,
they are often found alone in places away from crowds - truly a free spirit.
Though stone giants do not mix much with other races, they get along well
with the dwarves, who share their passion for smithing and creating fine
weapons. Their closest bonds are with the sliths, who are also creatures of
the wilderness. Stone giants do not have any particular enemy, for they do
not seek a struggle, though it is understood that some fire giants dislike
them for their waste of talent. Many centuries of primitive life in the
wilderness has led to stone giants gaining little intelligence, retaining
their great strength and constitution from their physical nature. Stone
giants are the only giant race that can consume gems for food, producing
magical shards.
