GROLANTOR

Intermediate Deity

Forgotten Realms

Grolantor (pronounced: gro-LÆN-tor) is a giant deity, and patron of Hill GIANTS and ettins as well as some Frost GIANTS and OGRES. Grolantor looks like a 25-foot tall hill giant, wearing several belts of woven dwarf beards. He wields an oversized club named Dwarfcrusher.
Realm: Grolantor's realm in JOTUNHEIM was called the Steading. His realm was little more than an enormous wooden house, and hill giant petitioners roam around its hills, preying on all they encounter. After the SPELLPLAGUE, the Steading became part of the ELEMENTAL CHAOS.
Following: Grolantor is strong and willfully stupid. He teaches his followers to persecute "lesser races" - that is, those smaller than hill GIANTS. His hill giant shamans stubbornly refuse to admit they are smaller than any other giant breeds. Ettins worship Grolantor in a dual-aspected manner, and their dogma differs from that of the hill GIANTS in many crucial respects, often preventing alliances between the two races. The most important thing for a follower of Grolantor is to never admit weakness, and to crush the weak.
