Firbolg

Firbolgs are a reclusive race of giant-kin who often prefer to avoid contact with other sentient races. They were both the most intelligent and the most powerful of the giant-kin. Firbolgs resembled humans, and the males would sport great, thick beards. Their thick, tough skin was often fleshy pink, and their hair, though it came in many colors, was usually either red, dirty blonde or brown, and generally worn long.   A firbolg's voice was deep and smooth, and they tended to roll their consonants when speaking. The average firbolg was stronger than a forest bear. Beyond sheer physical strength, they had innate magical abilities such as the ability to sense the presence of magical auras innately. They were also said to be able to communicate to a limited effect with both plants and animals of their forest homes.   Firbolgs enjoyed quiet time in the woods, in harmony with nature. The forests were sacred to them and symbolized the heart of the earth and the adaptability of life. They saw themselves as the forests' caretakers. Firbolgs considered greed to be one of the worst vices. They believed that one should only ever take what one needs and no more.   Firbolgs had a family-centered, clan-based society. They lived in settlements in remote hilly or forested areas. Their settlements were strongholds, including wooden structures, built from the trees around them, with defensive towers with catwalks between them. Rarely, they inhabited cavern complexes dug into the hillsides. They used their magic to ensure that their homes remained a secret to outsiders. These clan settlements were small, with between about four and sixteen members, often with a shaman or druid, and lived separate from each other. A few firbolg clans were nomadic.   Firbolgs had their own tongue, a dialect of Giant, but also spoke Westerling or the language of whichever humans were nearest to them, as well as Elven. They worshipped a variety of deities depending on what region they were from, some taking to the elven deities of ​Darach-Albith or ​Rialae-Aibaru, others finding worship among the human gods of Freya or even a select few who follow Gromm the Thunderer.
