Du'rashka Tul

During the fall of giant society, a powerful and long-lasting curse struck called Du’rashka Tul or “madness of crowds” in the Giant tongue. The curse is subtle and only known through historical documents. The curse lies in wait until a certain number of sentient beings gather in a confined area (scholars put the number between 20 and 100,000). Within a few weeks, the gathered beings are struck with severe paranoia and aggressive tendencies, and before a month has passed, the community has ripped itself apart. The curse was documented among giants who tried to rebuild their society, only to tear themselves down over and over again. This vicious cycle has brought the giants down to the nomadic, unstable point they inhabit today.
Some links have been posited between the Du'rashka Tul and the presence of aberrant marks, especially those on Kapaerian Island and nearby. The cause of this madness is unknown, but with more settlements coming into being, it's unknown how long it will take before the curse becomes a problem.
