I thought the Ordning stopped them from doing such things. That's how I read into it. Hekaton kept the other giants in line and once that chain is broken and he goes missing, the giants are spurred into action to change their place in the hierarchy (and then reclaim Ostoria/get rid of small folk). Much of what they do in SKT is to raise their station in the Ordning and the relics are part of that.
Folks
I came across this question and couldn't find a reasonable answer for that.
Giants could do the job collecting them. Harshnag knows where they are, so probably he's not the only one.
Sorry if this is a dumb question.

Yeah... just read again the Hekaton part in the introduction chapter. Queen Neri influences Hekaton to maintain small folks alone.
I just missed that part, since it was read a long time ago.
