Giants

The Giants had survived on Wundera longer than any other of the Ancient Peoples. Their Stone Giant creator had fashioned them in their image; they stood between eighteen and twenty-five feet tall, with broad shoulders and wide, flat faces. Their coarse hair and large, insulated bodies protected them from the frigid weather of the Northern Continent, called Bashyr in the Giant tongue, which was their homeland for their entire lineage. It’s believed that one could find a Giant anywhere in Wundera, however due to territory disputes with the Immortals (and later, the Elves) they spent the majority of the Second and Third ages of Wundera as a reclusive society.

The Giants lived in ancestral clans, and were a deeply spiritual and familial people. Their maker taught the first Giants the Tongue that Soul Spoke, which gave them the ability to work powerful, primal magics; a tradition that continues to this day, called Old Word by those who still practice. Old Word was practiced exclusively by true Giants for most of its existence. The Giants, however, eventually shared their esoteric religion with a special few. After the signing of the Treaty of Allied Peoples, the Giants welcomed Half-Giant refugees, who had been released from their Elven creators, when they could no longer be kept as slaves. Later, the Giants would welcome the Neorn into their homeland, as they were made by the same Stone Giant. (and many Giants, who were known for their love of history, were giddy at the thought of reconnecting with their ancient companions.) The Giants themselves never allied themselves with Allied Peoples, save for a few tense peace agreements with Elves, and were known to most Wunderans as villainous monsters who inhabited a savage and undiscovered land. It would later be discovered that Giant society was much more advanced than historians had previously realized.

After hearing rumors that the North sat empty, the Great Admiral Fidget Saltsprocket made landfall on the Northern Continent to find it had been completely abandoned.

Sometime in early fifteenth century B.I., all of the Giants suddenly disappeared. It was in the year 1445 B.I., after hearing rumors that the North sat empty, the Great Admiral Fidget Saltsprocket made landfall on the Northern Continent to find it had been completely abandoned. In a letter written to his lover, Admiral Saltsprocket described the village he had landed in as “a gold mine of ancient treasures and Giant artifacts of unknown purpose”. The less salacious parts of this letter were sent to publications all over Wundera, and soon the Northern Rush began, as tens of thousands of explorers, adventurers, and settlers flocked to the new frontier. Admiral Saltsprocket is credited as the first true explorer of the Northern Continent, discovering many of the settlements and roads still used to this day. Although the North looks very different from when the Giants reigned, much of it is still undiscovered, and the memories of the Giants lay everywhere. With the mystery of their disappearance, however, one can’t help but wonder where the Giants went, or if they’ll ever return.

After finding the Journal of the last Giant (49 - The End of a Civilization), we discovered that after the First One died, many Giants disappeared after everybody blinked, which was the day of The Wyrd.
Following that, all the Giants went through the Cradle and explored the Astral Sea, looking for their lost ones.
Unfortunately... we found their fleet, and no Giant survived as their ship lost power and they stranded in the middle of the Astral Sea, until they all starved, and died, leaving only them their legacy and this journal.
