Firbolg

"When the elves first came to Edda, the races of men and dwarves had not yet awakened. We traveled west, meeting nothing but wild beasts. Yet, when we arrived in Neywyll, we came upon the firbolg. Their roots here were ancient even then. Though the centuries may pass, we will always be visitors in their land."
- Galen, Elder of House Llowynd

Overview

To the men of Edda, the elves border on myth; the firbolg have a similar reputation among the elves. The mystery surrounding the firbolg is not undeserved: they are few in number and lead solitary lives, roaming the furthest depths of Neywyll alone, often passing months or years in silent contemplation. They live for many centuries and there are some alive today that still remember the Second Age. Whatever the firbolg may know of their ancient history is not shared with outsiders. The firbolg resemble enormous humans with long pointed ears. They have grey hair and grey-blue skin. They typically do not cut their hair, nor trim their beards.

Culture

The firbolg reside in Neywyll and their presence there predates the arrival of the elves. They live lives of total solitude and little else is known about them.
