Firbolg

In the Footsteps of Giants

The Firbolg are legendary beings that are said to inhabit forests across the world of Rolara. Despite numerous tales and sightings throughout the continent, there has yet to be any concrete proof of their existence within the borders of Rolara. These massive humanoids are known to be fierce protectors of nature, and many believe that they take on the form of men and women in order to better deceive those who would do harm to the natural world.
While the true nature of the Firbolg remains a mystery, many believe that they possess incredible strength and otherworldly abilities that allow them to commune with the forest and its inhabitants. Some even speculate that they are capable of using their powers to create enchanted groves and other magical sanctuaries within the woods. Despite their reclusive nature, the legends of the Firbolg continue to inspire awe and wonder in those who hear them, serving as a testament to the power and majesty of nature itself.

Basic Information

Anatomy

Firbolgs, the gentle giants of Rolara, are a sight to behold. Towering over most other species, they stand between 7 to 8 feet tall, their size a testament to their strength and resilience. Their bodies are robust and muscular, built for the rigors of the wilderness they call home. Despite their size, they move with a surprising grace, their steps leaving barely a trace on the forest floor.
Their skin is a fascinating canvas of earthy tones, ranging from pale hues of green to deep, rich browns. This natural camouflage blends seamlessly with the woodland surroundings, a testament to their symbiotic relationship with nature. Their skin is rough to the touch, weathered by the elements and the passage of time, yet warm and inviting.
The face of a Firbolg is a unique blend of Human and bear-like features. Their eyes, often a vibrant green or blue, are full of wisdom and kindness, reflecting their peaceful and contemplative nature. A pair of large, rounded ears sit high on their heads, capable of picking up the faintest rustle of leaves or the distant hoot of an owl. Their noses are broad, and their mouths wide, often hidden behind a thick beard for males.
Firbolgs have long, powerful limbs ending in large hands and feet, their fingers and toes tipped with hard, blunt nails. Despite their size, their movements are precise and deliberate, whether they're crafting a delicate piece of art or felling a large tree.
Their hair, usually brown or black, is typically worn long and loose, adorned with small trinkets or braided with vines and flowers. Some Firbolgs also have antlers, a rare trait that is highly respected in their culture.
Remember, while Firbolgs may seem intimidating due to their size, they are one of the most peaceful and nature-loving species you will encounter in Rolara. Their physical characteristics not only reflect their strength but also their harmonious existence with the natural world.
