Goliath

Living in the harsh climates of the Barrier Mountains that chain down to Charonvein, the capital of their loosely connected pact of city states, goliaths carve out a living where none others dare. The dry winds of the Black Sands Desert meet the warm, humid air of the Southern Wilds and create violent, unpredictable snowstorms that rack the Barrier Mountains, covering them in an never ending blizzard. But nonetheless, goliaths are a happy people, reveling in sport and song.   Living in a network of tribes, they are traders and travelers, bouncing between the bounties that are hidden in the jungles of the Southern Wilds and the trade routes of the empires. Goliaths are gifted survivalists, living in tune with the beasts and nature of their lands, making them skilled in the way of rangers and druidcraft. But beyond even that, their tribal totems draw power from their tightly knit bonds of family and fellowship, and are said to bestow mystical powers on those who bear their mark.   In the empires, goliaths are found in caravans that travel to each capital city in a wide circle, moving in tune with the seasons to optimize their travel conditions. These merchants peddle powerful magical wares, leading to rumors that goliaths, on their inhospitable mountains, are the guardians of ancient, Precursor secrets. Many dismiss these rumors as heresay, though the nonbelievers have yet to arrive at an explanation as to where the traders get such items of power.
