Goliath
Goliaths have a connection to frost Jotunns, known for their resiliience and cold affinity. A tribe of humans made a pact with a benevolent frost Jotunn in exchange for protection against common enemies.

History
Around the 1st century, a tribe of humans decided to stray from other human civilization and inhabit the Ridnitsohkka mountain. There, they came across some local frost Jotunns. They made a pact. The humans would gather resources for the Jotunns and the Jotunns would protect them from any danger. As the time went by, the two races started mixing up together, producing the Goliath race.
Interspecies Relations and Assumptions
Typically, Goliaths are most of the times are mistook for being dangerous, by other races, but most of the times they are gentle. So they refrain from socializing with other races.
