Firbolgs were fey-touched giantkin, who to spent their days in quiet harmony with the nature that surrounded them; however, when provoked, firbolgs demonstrated formidable skills with both weapons and druidic magic.

Firbolg were tall and broad, standing at least 7 feet tall. They had pointed ears on each side of their wide, squarish heads and large, flat noses in the centre. Their skin ranged in hue from pale grey to sage green to powder blue, though their extremities took on a pinkish tone.

Firbolg were the natives of the fungal jungles of Khairn.
