Nephilim
And so it was wrought. The Gray Ones shaped mountain and carved land. When it was finished, they gave it to the spritely ones to do with as they would. Their work was done and they had earned their rest.-Final passage of the Historia Heretica.

Not much is known about the Nephilim aside from legends and faerie tales. They existed in the Time of Endless Gardens, shaping Ashaia alongside the Fey. From what historians have gathered, the Nephilim were tall humanoids that varied in shape and overall structure. Some sported four arms, while some had hundreds of eyes. Most, if not all of them were entirely devoid of color, seemingly draining the tones from everything that surrounded them.
Most of what is known about the race has been gathered from the fey, as they are the only ones old enough to remember what the nephilim were like. Unfortunately, fey nobles are almost impossible to obtain an audience with and the queens, arguably the most reasonable and knowledgeable of them all would not consider an audience to idly chat about the past.
What has been gathered about the nephilim is that at the end of the Time of Endless trees the nephilim left Ashaia in one way or another. Some say they followed the Night Sovereign, others say that they were called deep into the earth by their deity, the Stone Mother, and a great many more say that they became the Goliath race and their deity simply changed forms into Vesuva.
