History

Legends say that Jotunseir was forged in bloody days of the Titan Wars in the First Age.  Where the giants rebelled against their masters beneath the raging sky of the chaos in order to seek freedom on the other side of the Great Disc. A giant called upon the primordial prince of earth - Ogremoch - to beseech the god for aid.  Ogremoch responded with offering shining ore from the Plane of Earth, stronger than anything found on the Disc, but in exchange Ogremoch demanded the giant's hand.  The Giant agreed and his hand turned to lifeless stone.
The Giant now had to forge his weapon.  He traveled to the Plane of Fire and called out its prince - Imix - for a flame hot enough to melt the ore and make a hammer to lead them to victory.  Imix pondered this request and said that such a flame does exist in the depths of his domain, but it cannot be ignited without a sacrifice.  The Giant said he would give anything and Imix smiled, knowing that would be the Giant's response.  Imix led him to a forge in the center of an ocean of flame.  He pointed at the furnace and told the Giant that it can only be ignited by the eye of one who seeks vengeance.  The Giant nodded and knew what he had to do, he approached the furnace and with his remaining hand, ripped out his own eye then cast it in.  The white flames roared to life and the Giant was able to smelt and forge his new hammer.
But the hammer alone was not enough, the Giant needed power.  So he went to Yan-C-Bin, the primordial prince of air, and asked for the gift of the storms to empower this new weapon to the strength of a storm titan and beyond.  Yan-C-Bin agreed and offered the Giant a gemstone infused with the tempest itself, but in exchange for a gemstone, Yan-C-Bin asked for a gem in exchange, the gem of the Giant's remaining eye - his beloved.  The Giant's heart grew heavy and his brow furrowed as he debated - he would sacrifice his eye and his hand for their freedom, but could he sacrifice another person? Especially his dearest heart?  As much as it pained him, he agreed and his dear beloved was torn to pieces by the howling winds of the Prince of Air.  In her place, lied a stone that pulsed and crackled with the fury of a storm and a heart betrayed.
Armed with this new weapon which the Giant dubbed 'Jotunseir' or 'Victory of the Giants', the Giant fought the Cloud Titan, Thuullah, and broke through Thuullah's forces to lead the other giants to the surface of the Great Disc, securing freedom for the giants from their elemental overlords.
