Firbolgs
The history of firbolgs in the Moon Shaes is long and convoluted and their interaction with other races depends on where that particular tribe has landed.
Moon Shae firbolgs follow the demigod Grond Peaksmasher, son of the giant-kin god, Hiatea. He encouraged them to withdraw from the other races of the Moon Shaes and brought them to the island of Oman during the Era of Upheaval. When the fey descended upon the Moon Shaes, the Fomorians claimed Oman and enslaved many of the firbolg. These thralls eventually became disfigured like their masters.
This was not the fate of all firbolg, however. The Blackleaf tribe of Gwynneth live in the Cambro mountains and have recently been forced to abandon their seclusion to deal with the advancing threat of the Nightsinger and her army.
Culture
Shared customary codes and values
Other than Snowdown, where any firbolg haven has been thoroughly invaded, tribes can be found on every island. The Norland tribes of the Jotunhammer are the most aggressive, having allied themselves with the duergar and other dark forces in order to maintain their hold against the ever-advancing Northlanders. In other parts of the isles they are, for the most part, content to stay out of sight and wish only that their territories be respected. Clearly marked by tree carvings, a firbolg territory should not be entered without a good explanation for the encroachment.
