True descendants of the Jotunbrud (Giant). A Mix between them and Mortal blood gave birth to the first Goliath. The other side of the coin of war to the Dragonborn. Though just like their lineage Goliath are far more rare than Dragonborn in Felwind. Often living in high mountains or blizzard battered lands.
Goliath is the name used in 'Common' rather they are more respectably called Jotunettin which translates as 'Giant-Runt' or 'Giant-Child'.
Goliath are known for their tribal nature and being very intimidating. Much like Lizardfolk their culture revolves heavily around combat, hunting and feats of power while also having a strong sense of community and more interesting still is a love of art and crafts.
Normally in the way of wooden or stone sculptures, Hand made jewellery and cutting precious stones. Even painting has been observed.
Most would think Goliath to be slow or less intelligent due to their size and stature along with Orcs or Bugbears but most are surprised to know that Goliath are very intelligent, more-so wise than book smarts but they understand culture norms and can problem solve far better than anyone stereotypically expects, which makes them even more of a intimidating presence.
things that catch a Goliath off guars is the use of currency and the wide varied nature of social status.
The Markings called Minera
All Goliath have these tribal markings. Called Minera which is a Giant word. They are natural dark parts of their flesh ins runic patterns that typically only start appearing during puberty. But some children are born with them and there are histories of children born with Minera clearly defined means they are destined to one day leave the tribe and play a part in destiny.
The Minera are often made up of the Joutunbrud Runes, an ancient giant language of power which holds the secret to all manor of things. But none other than the True giants themselves know this language of power. Though some in Felwind have learned scraps of it.
Less Known Trait.

Jotun Lineage
Goliaths are very rarely found in Felwind
Hakaan
Hakaan are distinct from their stone goliath cousins. Descended from a tribe of giants in Vanigar, Uthasil. The original Hakaan tribe made a bargain with Holkatja the trickster god. They traded some of their gigantic size and strength for the ability to see the future. But Holkatja betrayed them, and the only future they are allowed to see is the moment and nature of their own death. These visions are never of some mundane tragedy. No Hakaan ever received a vision of dying from choking on a grape. The doomsight is always momentous—always dramatic.
