Giants, Main Article

Giants, or Jötnar as they sometimes are referred to as, Are a race of humanoids that are known for their large size, crafting skill, Future-seeing abilities and their vague connection to the Aesir.
Despite their name, The Jötnar are not necessarily giants, But rather a race of ancient beings, With some believing that they are older than most of the races on Erethes as of right now. This means that Jötnar can be the size of a human, or double it. The Giants are known for their innate skill in practically anything, Be it painting, Fighting or masonry. It is widely known that they were the ones that built Asgard for the Aesir, And that they planted a weakness within the city, Though almost every person on Erethes doesn't know what it is. However, It is believed that someone knows what it is and how to exploit it, But nobody knows who.
The other versions of Giant have their own articles, So any information in this article that is not in this description belong to the Jötunn, Seen by many as the original giant variant.
