The Hríd (also known as Storm Goliaths) are the goliaths created by the Storm Giants in the Hríd Dominion. Some accept their giant heritage and still live alongside their Storm Giant creators in Jotunheim (albeit in freedom instead of enslaved). The others are rarer than the nomadic goliaths descended from the solitary stone giants are the Storm goliaths, the children of the imposing and regal storm giants. Storm goliaths possess the electrifying force of presence of the kings of the giants. They are few and far between, and almost never encountered in groups. As a result, little is known about their culture, or if they have one at all. One thing remains true of all Storm goliaths, however; wherever they go and whatever they do, they command the world’s attention.

Force of presence                                                                                                                                                      Storm goliaths are impossible to mistake for their hairless, gray-cast cousins. While they share the stature of other goliaths, storm goliaths are often riotous hues of deep blue and royal purple tinged with the steel grays of a thundercloud. They are eminently capable of growing hair and beards, and in times of duress sparks can be seen leaping through through their manes. When a storm goliath speaks, it is unmistakable, for when they so wish it their words are accompanied by a low rumble of thunder.

Leaders of giant and men                                                                                                                                        Storm goliaths possess a natural charisma that far outstrips their goliath cousins, as well as a naturally regal bearing the commands respect. When they speak, others often find themselves listening without even thinking – and no one moreso than other giantkin. Storm giants are the kings of giants, and that bloodline runs through storm goliaths as well.

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.

The Eldr (also known as Fire Goliaths) hail from the volcanoes to the west of the Heimurrin Mountain Range and the Boiling Lake. They are lither and quicker than their other Goliath cousins. They are also excellent smiths, each Eldr being born with the innate ability to smith. Fire goliaths are the children of humans and the passionate, conquering fire giants. They are most often found in regions under fire giant control, where the humanoid races toil in servitute of their giant rulers. Fire goliaths are regarded as outcasts by both peoples, however, and most often go their own way in the world.

Fierce existences                                                                                                                                                           Fire goliaths are naturally combative, driven by the fires of their bloodline. They are impossible to confuse with humans or standard goliaths, with flame-red hair, red and dark-hued skin, and thicks clusters of freckles that speckle their skin like sparks from coal. They speak in deep, crackling tones.

Talented fighters                                                                                                                                                        Fire goliaths carry the two main talents of their giant forebears: an affinity for flame, and a love of combat. Most fire goliaths hone both abilities to a searing point, making them much-beloved by mercenary companies and aspiring warlords.

The Jökull are a cold and hardy people. The tallest of the Goliaths on average and the only Goliaths that grow hair, the Jökull inhabit the frozen regions of Kalstack (Madrheim) and the Heimurrin Mountain Range. Frost goliaths are not often seen outside the cold, snow- covered expances of these high mountains. The offspring of the tribal, frost giants and nomadic groups of humans, frost goliaths tend toward lives of solitude and simple existences. They make for excellent hunters, deadly combatants, and terrible conversationalists.

Winter endurance                                                                                                                                                       Frost goliaths are slow to respond, but that does not make them stupid. Rather, it is that they carefully consider each action and word, and value the safety that brings. In combat, Frost goliaths are similar – they are slow to commit, and nigh-impossible to bring down quickly.

Frigidt Existences                                                                                                                                                       Frost goliaths are not easily drawn into society, much less casual conversation. They are as pale and striking as their giant forebears, with shocks of white and gray hair that grow to great lengths, icy blue eyes, and skin that ranges from glacial white to the palest sky blue. They seem almost to move and consider new ideas with frozen slowness, and must first chip out each word before speaking them aloud. Frost goliaths rarely seek out society, but will sometimes choose one person to spend their lives with, for any reason of their choosing. These frost goliaths are easily distinguished, for their white hair is most often elegantly braided.

Every Goliath has three names: a birth name assigned by the newborn’s mother and father, a nickname assigned by the tribal chief, and a family or clan name. A birth name is up to three syllables long. Clan names are five syllables or more and end in a vowel. Birth names are rarely linked to gender. Goliaths see females and males as equal in all things, and they find societies with roles divided by gender to be puzzling or worthy of mockery. To a goliath, the person who is best at a job should be the one tasked with doing it. A goliath’s nickname is a description that can change on the whim of a chieftain or tribal elder. It refers to a notable deed, either a success or failure, committed by the goliath. Goliaths assign and use nicknames with their friends of other races, and change them to refer to an individual’s notable deeds. Goliaths present all three names when identifying themselves, in the order of birth name, nickname, and clan name. In casual conversation, they use their nickname.

Birth Names: Aukan, Eglath, Gae-Al, Gauthak, Ilikan, Keothi, Kuori, Lo-Kag, Manneo, Maveith, Nalla, Orilo, Paavu, Pethani, Thalai, Thotham, Uthal, Vaunea, Vimak

Nicknames: Bearkiller, Dawncaller, Fearless, Flintfinder, Horncarver, Keeneye, Lonehunter, Longleaper, Rootsmasher, Skywatcher, Steadyhand, Threadtwister, Twice-Orphaned, Twistedlimb, Wordpainter

Clan Names: Anakalathai, Elanithino, Gathakanathi, Kalagiano, Katho-Olavi, Kolae-Gileana, Ogolakanu, Thuliaga, Thunukalathi, Vaimei-Laga
