"Well back when I was a disciple of Bael, I used to represent him in Mammon's Court. I've seen Geryon, Glasya, Dispater, Huntijin, Fernia, and Belial with my own eyes."
"Yeah, I've spent my time in court as well. Never anger a Fire Giant while underwater. The steam gets unbearable. The Debate hall was unavailable for a week after old Carantou got annoyed when I beat him in an argument."
"In Borrelia, the remaining giant nations lie far to the north. They would not dare to fight us mortals. Their empire fell aeons ago. It is their time no longer. It is ours."
"The same is true for where I come from as well. The Landgoing Giants primarily live in a secluded Peninsula to the south, while the Frost Giants live to the North. The Sea and Cloud Giants live in secluded pockets across the continents."
"I grew up in the hall of Fealwyrn, the Queen of Giants. As such, I know...not a small bit of Giant History. Now, I don't want to bore you all, but...for those interested, it would help pass the time."
"I am always eager to learn more about the worlds beyond my own."

(Yeah, it's having your character know things that you know and they shouldn't. Ex: The DM calls for a perception roll, and you fail. But your character investigates, because you know there's a hidden monster if your DM asks you to roll perception.)

“Sorry I never have...you guys get to have all the fun....”
"Fun? You call battling a being far smarter, stronger and crueler than you fun? You'd best pray that you never encounter such an entity. Sadly, I believe we all will."
“Well it’s not boring...I really hate being bored more than meeting a demon lord or lady...”
"Perhaps, when we battle this 'Tharizdun,' you will change your mind."
“Maybe so...but I won’t change my mind...I like the one I have...” says Jerold with a smile and a wink 😉

"Now, I don't come from this world. (*I'm sorry, this red text is gonna get real annoying real fast, imma stop. Okay back to the thing.*) I come from the world of Tiamota. Pretty standard world, from what I've seen. 7 Continents (9, really, if you count Erath and Tialas, and I do), lots of Humans, lots of magic, very long history, that sort of thing. But, the purpose of this is to discuss Giants, not the basic history, so I'll skim over the majority of things."

"The Giants were created by Vashella, the Titan Goddess, along with the Dragons, Demons, Devils, Krakens, Tarrasques, and Beholders. The Giants, almost immediately, went forth to conquer the Continent of Buillos. Unfortunately for them, the Dragons had had a similar idea. They managed to divide the continent peacefully, though they were swift rivals, and competed with each other for every scrap of land and power. The Dragons controlled the Western half of Buillos, while the Giants controlled the Eastern half.
"They coexisted...semi peacefully, for several thousands of years. They controlled the Continent, spreading occasionally to other locales. The Sky Giants (*Cloud Giants*) took to the skies, eventually migrating Northward to Ikothos, where they encountered the Aarakocra nation of Crekehq. The Forge Giants (*Fire*) traversed over the Quvok Sea, making landfall at the Island of Kasen, where they began creation of the Forgespawn (*Warforged*). The Ice Giants (*Frost*) ventured to the frigid Continent of Lazkirosa (*equivalent of Antarctica*). Sea Giants (*Storm*) traveled to the Quvok Reef, where they subjugated the native Islanders (*woo...*). Hill Giants...were hill giants. They didn't do anything."
