Jotun

In the vast and diverse world of Ostrium, a multitude of giant races and their descendants roam the lands, each with their own unique cultures, traditions, and identities. These giant kin, including the Giants, the Jotnar, and various other subgroups, form distinct ethnic groups that have shaped the tapestry of Ostrium's history and society. From the towering Stone Giants to the resilient Frostheart Jotnar, these ethnic groups exhibit a rich array of customs, languages, and beliefs that reflect their ancestral heritage and the environments they inhabit.
The Giants, ancient beings of immense size and strength, encompass several distinct ethnic groups such as the Stone Giants, Frost Giants, and Fire Giants. Each group has its own cultural practices and societal structures, influenced by their elemental affinities and geographical locations. The Stone Giants, known for their stoic demeanor and mastery of stonework, dwell in mountainous regions, while the Frost Giants brave the icy tundras and the Fire Giants forge their civilizations amidst volcanic landscapes.
Among the descendants of the Giants are the Jotnar, a race born from the Great Devolution that transformed their ancestors in the wake of cataclysmic conflicts. The Jotnar comprise various subgroups, including the Frostheart Jotnar, Stoneskin Jotnar, and Glacialis Jotnar, each inheriting traits and traditions from their Giant forebears. These Jotnar ethnic groups, though united by their shared ancestry, exhibit unique cultural nuances and adaptations to their environments, be it the frozen wastes or the rocky crags.
Beyond the Giants and the Jotnar, other Giant kin such as the Hill Giants, Cloud Giants, and Storm Giants contribute to the diverse tapestry of Ostrium's peoples. Though often overshadowed by their larger brethren, these ethnic groups possess their own distinct cultures and ways of life, ranging from the nomadic lifestyles of the Hill Giants to the sky-dwelling societies of the Cloud Giants.
Throughout Ostrium's history, interactions between these various ethnic groups of the Giant kin have shaped the course of events, leading to alliances, conflicts, and cultural exchanges that continue to define the world to this day. As Ostrium stands on the brink of new challenges and discoveries, the diverse cultures of the Giant kin remain integral to the fabric of this wondrous realm, each contributing their own unique perspectives and strengths to the tapestry of existence.
