Goliath

Reclusive Giants
Goliaths, like other giantkin, are believed to be the direct descendants of the ancient Titans, though they are smaller than other giants. Nonetheless they possess a natural fortitude that cannot be denied. Goliaths have no issue trading and interacting with others, but they prefer secluded mountaintop homes where only the hardiest folk can survive. There, the Goliaths meditate, create stunningly large works of art and sculpture, and ponder the meaning of existence. Their great size means they are feared by many, but Goliaths are typically earnest, loyal friends to the smaller folk.
