Meyno is said to be the oldest living stone giantess, although no sign of her has been seen for some time.

She was the matriarch of the giant tribes of Stone Valley, and had twin sons called Khaarne and Illoke. Where Khaarne was neutral, Illoke was hateful and evil. The giants had a matriarchal society, worshipping and venerating the chief matriarch as a goddess. The valley flourished under Meyno's hand, becoming lush and green. She was a kind and generous matriarch, and well-loved by all save the faction who was tired of female rule. This faction raised a shaman to their ends, then sought Meyno's darker son for assistance.

The shaman went into the tribes to kill Meyno and place Illoke in the seat of power. Meyno's faithful priestess battled this shaman, and in the force of their dueling, the ground cracked open. Upon the Priestess' defeat, the shaman cast Meyno into the crack in the ground, entombing her forever.

Meyno's form is that of a large stone giantess. In manner, she is powerful, kind, generous and primitive. She has no known symbol, as the giants are a simple people who do not hold with this kind of symbolism.
