Firbolg

"The world gives what it has received, and your kingdom has provided nothing but grief and destruction," - Furui Hyoga upon leaving the Free State of Thorvald, 795, 4th Cycle

Dwelling in tribes deep in the mountain ranges of Ekal, firbolgs have long viewed themselves as guardians of the world's resources and environments. But as industrialized nations mined deeper and deeper for precious metals, they came into conflict with these firbolg clans and pushed them to the verge of extinction. Defeated and expelled from their homelands, the firbolgs of Pescaliat have been forced to the fringes of society as wandering nomads or sheltered in remote villages. As the world stands on the precipice of an industrial revolution, firbolgs have maintained their reverence for nature and the world at-large.

Additional Information

Geographic Origin and Distribution

• The largest settlement of firbolgs in the world is Kita Outpost in the northernmost reaches of the continent of Pescat. A frigid tundra of ice and snow, several hundred fibolgs sell to ships making the treacherous journey from Suika to Craxi.
• Smaller communities of firbolgs can be found in Southern Pescat, especially in mountainous kingdoms like Glace and Bahamut. These tribes are often too small to raise the suspicion of the ruling classes, eking out meager existences as tradesmen or nature guides.
• Nomadic firbolg have been spotted from time to time in Pescaliat, wandering towards a home they've yet to discover. Separated from their tribes and kinfolk, these nomads have been known to work as freelance mercenaries or adventurers depending on the situation.
