Goliaths

Clerics of Kavaki - the head of the Goliath Pantheon - told that he found atop the highest mountain peak a bush that grew gems instead of fruit. He plucked the gems and from them came the first goliaths, whom he instructed to find hidden bounty amidst the mountains, and to protect the tribe from harm.

Their bodies looked as if they are carved from mountain stone, and gave them great physical power. Their hearts were infused with the cold regard of their frigid realm, leaving each goliath with the responsibility to earn a place in the herd or die trying.

Goliaths were native to the frigid mountain peaks of Fëaforn. Their spirits took after the wandering wind, making them nomads who wandered from peak to peak. Few folk can claim to have seen one, and fewer still can claim friendship with them.
