Fire Giant

(ILDJOTUN)

"If you want forge work fit for a king, you have two options: dwarves and fire giants. If you don't want to be forced to slave in the mines until you're tossed in the coals, you really only have one option."
-Volothamp Geddarm
  Master crafters and organized warriors, Fire Giants dwell among volcanoes, lava floes, and rocky mountains. They are considered ruthless, militaristic brutes whose mastery of metalwork is legendary.  

Physical Description and Abilities

Fire Giants shun cold as much as their cousins the Frost Giants hate heat. They can adapt to cold environments with effort, though, keeping their hearth fires burning bright and wearing heavy woolen clothing and furs to stay warm.  

Habitat

Fire Giant fortresses are built around and inside volcanoes or near magma-filled caverns. The blistering heat of their homes fuels the Fire Giants' forges and causes the iron of their fortress walls to glow a comforting orange. In lands far removed from volcanic heat, Fire Giants mine coal to burn. Traditional smithies occupy places of honor in their demesnes, and the Giants' stony fortresses constantly belch plumes of sooty smoke. In more remote outposts, Fire Giants burn wood to keep their forge fires lit, deforesting leagues of land in all directions.
