The Giant, now extinct, was a sentient race native to the northernmost regions of the Almsaundean Continent. Calling Eidriel their home, they were violently killed off in the Heaven's War by the Bevesdanes who are also held responsible for the termination of the parasitic race known as the Gnomes, though the Giants could function well with or without their counterpart. The Giants were also the only of the sentient races to hibernate. They hiberated for the entire duration of the Month of the Darkness.
