Ský (Cloud Goliaths)

Cloud goliaths                                                                                                                                                                  The children of the vain cloud giants and mortal men are not often seen, but they make striking impressions when they are. Cloud goliaths possess the beauty and vanity of their giant forebears, as well as their keen eye for craftsmanship and small masteries of magic. The Ský are descended from the cloud giants who occupied the Trollheim marsh lands, and are commonly found among the ruins of the Fimm Dominions searching for lost relics. They are a race of mystics and tricksters.

Striking Visions                                                                                                                                                         Cloud goliaths, at a distance, can often be confused for their more common cousins. Their skin is most often slate gray, tinge blue by the faintest hues, and bald cloud goliaths are nigh indistinguishable from standard goliaths. Those that do have hair, however, are more clearly distinguishable, for cloud goliaths have delicate blue-white locks of hair that seem to always be perfectly arranged, and their eyes are mesmerizing sapphire. They speak in airy, carrying tones.

Natural craftsmen                                                                                                                                                        Cloud giants are famed among giants for their artisanry, their prowess as smiths, and their masteries of magic. Cloud goliaths, born from a bloodline of such talents, possess similar degrees of skill as well. When a cloud goliath puts their mind toward the making of a goal, they can bend the world to that purpose as well.

Age. Cloud goliaths live lifespans comparable to humans, but enjoy a longer peak of maturity, maturing at the same rate as humans but living to around 130 years.

Alignment. Cloud goliaths are vain and sometimes cruel, and rarely tolerate others ordering them about. They are more often chaotic than lawful, and more often neutral than good.
