'''Giantmen''' are a tall and physically strong race who live in semi-nomadic clans across Elanthia.
'''Giantmen''' are the largest and strongest of the playable [[race]]s. They are ideal for the [[warrior]] and [[paladin]] professions due to their high [[strength]] and [[constitution]] bonuses, and can make successful healing [[empath|empaths]] due to their high maximum health.

Martial skill is highly valued in giantman cultures. Traditionally, they view warfare as a trial of honor and glory, and have often fought battles both among their own clans and against other races to determine if their foes were worthy of respect. Some of the closest historical alliances have been forged with those who earn it.
