| 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. | True descendants of the //Jotunbrud// (Giant).

| Most would think Goliath to be slow or less intelligent due to their size and stature along with [[culture:orc|Orcs]] or [[culture:goblin|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. | Most would think Goliath to be slow or less intelligent due to their size and stature along with [[culture:orc|Orcs]] or [[culture:goblin|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. |

| | Almost all Goliath are covered in natural markings known is **Minera**, These Markings hold great cultural significance. Said to spell the fate of the Goliath in question. Trying to change the markings or adding new marks to a Goliath's body is a great taboo. To do so represents shunning the fate given to you by the JotunBrung (True Giants) and is grounds for immediate exile or even execution. Some Goliath may do this as an act of defiance against their tribe or culture. \\ But for one Goliath to deliberately change the **Minera** of another Goliath is the ultimate sin of all //Joutun//. Such an event has not happened for a thousand upon a thousand years. \\ |
| | Once in a blue moon a Goliath may be born without **Minera**. This is a significant event, It represents a Goliath who is able to break or change the chains of fate at will. Normally destined to be a coming age of good and prosperity, or an ill-omen of Damnation and destruction. |

| 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 [[religion:holkatja|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. | Hakaan are distinct from their stone goliath cousins.

| Much like the //Hakaan//, Most Cyclops are decedents of Hill-Giants. Hill Giants not being //True Jotun// but in the same classification. | Hill-Giants are well known to be the outcasts of //Joutunbrud//. Their appearance and nature are a far cry from the majesty and power of the True-Giants, They are also known to not be very bright. The only thing they share in common is their size. \\ |
| | A Particular group of Hill-Giants banded together long ago looking to make a deal with a higher power. In exchange for one of their eyes they would Grant the Hill-Giants new power. Though it did not go in their favour. |

| | Jotun-Kin of a linage tainted by the abyssal power of [[planes:Pandemonium]], Their Bodies and Flesh adapt and regenerate unnaturally akin to creatures of the Abyss but with a sturdy strength of Joutun blood. \\ |
| | Despite their Abyssal ties, they hold very little in common with the plane of Chaos. They are often found alone, amongst other weaker monstrous species or in small group that keep to themselves. They Tend to be rather aggressive |
