The book sheds light on the giants’ ordning—the hierarchical structure of their civilization—as well as their religious beliefs and societal organizations across different realms.

For players, Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants introduces a tremendous amount of mighty character options, such as the Path of the Giant barbarian subclass, which allows barbarians to channel the elemental and immense power of giants when they rage. Players will also find two backgrounds, including the giant foundling background, and eight feats that allow them to incorporate the glory of giants in their character’s backstory and as they level up!

This sourcebook also provides over 30 giant-themed magic items, including three legendary artifacts, while offering Dungeon Masters valuable tools like lair maps, adventure hooks, encounter tables, treasure ideas, and inspiration for roleplaying giants.

Last, and certainly not least, this book presents a gargantuan collection of giant monsters, offering more than 70 new stat blocks and a detailed exploration of their descriptions, lore, and mannerisms, providing a vibrant ecosystem of colossal creatures to encounter.

Explore the Primordial Power of Giants

Long ago, the giants were a mighty empire that ruled over the early days of the Material Plane. Today, you'll discover isolated tribes and clans of giants throughout the multiverse, each with a unique way of life and links to the bygone kingdom. Remnants of their ancient empires can still be found in remote regions, where statues and monuments stand as testaments to their mighty societies and rich history.

The Ordning

Among the various types of giants, including cloud giants, fire giants, frost giants, hill giants, stone giants, and storm giants, there exists a structured social hierarchy known as the ordning. Each giant is assigned a rank within this caste system, determining their social standing and relationships with others. Some giants dedicate their lives to excelling in the qualities valued by their society, seeking to rise within the ordning.

The Giants’ Pantheon

It is said that when the giants fell from glory, their god, Annam, abandoned his children and would not return until they reestablished an empire fit for their station.

Because of this, giants often do not pray to their progenitor but to his divine children and other hero-deities that constitute the giants' pantheon. The sons of Annam, representing each subsection of giantkind, hold significant positions among the religious beliefs of the various giant civilizations. 

Some giants decide to shun their peers’ gods and turn to deities outside of societal norms, seeking power to defy their position in the ordning, a grave transgression against the ordning that results in social ostracism.

Fee-fi-fo-fum!

Throughout the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse, giants stand as colossal figures with a rich and complex history. Whether you want to delve into the secrets of their fallen empires, create a character connected to these primordial beings, or build an entire campaign surrounding their mysteries, Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants is your ultimate handbook!
