Giants have a different sense of good and evil than most other creatures. A "good" act for a giant is an act that honored a giant's deity or family, display bravery, or honored another "good" giant, regardless of the consequences. An "evil" act is one of cowardice; stealing; betraying a giant's deity, family or trust; or an act that force a giant from its natural terrain type.
