Civilization and Culture

Culture and Cultural Heritage

Goliaths' most notable characteristic is their competitiveness. They keep track of their accomplishments and see everything as a challenge. Those not familiar with goliath psychology might get annoyed when goliaths constantly reminded them how many times a certain thing had happened, thinking them arrogant or self-centred. This isn't the case, however. To goliaths, score-keeping is a natural and integral part of life, not meant to belittle or demean anyone. But a goliath's most fierce competitor is themselves.
It's rare for goliath adventurers to retire or live to an old age, as they often die trying to surpass their previous achievements. Permanently injured or ageing goliaths often seek death in battle rather than succumb to an existence where they could not excel.

Body Tint, Colouring and Marking

Goliath skin is often grey or brown and extremely tough (often compared to stone). One of the most distinctive features of the goliath is the darker (often vertically symmetrical) patches of skin that cover their entire bodies. Goliaths believe that these markings somehow explain or control their fate or destiny. For this reason, goliaths never tattoo themselves as this could affect their future.
Their skin is littered with bony growths called "lithoderms". These growths are roughly the size of a coin and appeared like studded pebbles on their arms, shoulders, torso or head.
