Description
Byrmr was a primordial giant made by the god of the giants Annam all-father, a titanic figure of scale and size made as a smiths hand for the dwarf god Moradin- as Annam was covetous of the stout gods crafting prowess. Byrmr devoted their life to crafting steel and gold in the halls of the ancient dwarf gods, impressing Moradin his teacher, and forging the beginnings of a pact between the giant gods and the dwarven pantheon, later teaching the other giant gods what they had learnt.
Byrmr was covetous however, of his masters skill- for a creature born from want shall always return to want- and stole a great golden torc the forgemaster had made for one of his dwarven kings. The king however saw the giant and before they could report the theft, were devoured by Byrmr to prevent the secret spreading. When moradin returned he saw the bones of the king on the floor- and incensed at the giant- grabbed their head and thrust it on their anvil, smashing at it with his forge hammer.
Byrmr was fractured with such divine power that even his father could not return him, instead taking his shattered head and casting it in bronze in the hopes of retrieving the titans memories.
Then the great war with the dragonfolk came, and Annam hid away his lost son. But in his work and slumber, the god has not checked upon what remained of Byrmr- who has fled their deep home, searching to devour artisans for their knowledge of the forge- in the hope of eclipsing moradin- so suffused is the living corpse that festering in it like vermin are the animate remains of the dwarven hold it devoured- embedded and crawling from its titanic form- they lend the giant unerring knowledge of masterwork craft in the area, that the devouring giant may satiate their jealousy for a moment upon.
