Firbolg

Firbolgs

Firbolgs are humanoid species not native to Jushara. They are originally from the Fay-wild, but unlike most of the Fae that denizens of the material plane are aware of, firbolgs are from the Seelie courts. They are almost universally good, and more often than not, lawful. Firbolgs are rare in Jushara, due to a number of factors including their low initial numbers, relativley low reproductive rate, and frequent discrimination and violence from native Jusharans has lim

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Firbolg Names

Firbolg adopt elven names when they must deal with outsiders, although the concept of names strikes them as strange. They know the animals and plants of the forest without formal names, and instead identify the forest’s children by their deeds, habits, and other actions.
By the same token, their tribe names merely refer to their homes. When dealing with other races, firbolgs refer to their lands by whatever name the surrounding folk use, as a matter of tact and hospitality, but among their own kind they simply call it “home.”
Sometimes firbolgs adopt the nicknames or titles outsiders give them under the assumption that those who need names can call them whatever they wish.
