Giantmen are tall (sometimes over 7'), well built and physically strong. They have dark brown or coal black hair, light complexions and a range of eye shades. They are great warriors and builders and their intuition matches their physical prowess. They are not, however, especially quick or agile.

Most giants lived a semi-nomadic life, traveling from place to place seasonally, following the wild animal herd migrations. Giantmen have a lust for warfare and were more often than not at war with one clan or another. Their wars were not sought to destroy other clans, but to gain glory and respect among each other. After the odd Dwarven-Giantman War 2,000 years ago, they became solid allies with the dwarves, a union that is closer than ever to this day.
