Goliaths

Goliaths are the small cousins of giants. As such, they are a much hated race by most other races on Orlos. Halflings, Elves, and Humans in particular persecute them for the imprisonment they faced by the hands of their cousins in ages past. As such, most goliaths live outside of society or in smaller communities of their own. Only in recent years has the Second Stonebrook Dynasty started being more accepting of Goliaths.

Goliaths tend to be very strongly built and colored in relation to the environment they are most suited to (slight blueish tinge in mountains and reddish tinge in deserts, etc.). Their skin almost feels like rock, a texture that hinders their sneakiness.
