Homebrew Giants of Entaña Species Details

Giants of Entaña –

Giants have not been seen for hundreds of years.  The Giants were the result of the population of humanoids who survived the creation of the desolation. All the magic directed at them changed them. They grew to incredible size and their features often changed to match the nature of the location where they were bombarded.  Being born of such tragedy turned them into a scholarly, gentle people. Despite attempts, by both sides, to get them to enter the final battles of the great war between the two races of Entaña (Mammalian and Reptilian humanoids) this new race wanted no part. Once the war was over the Giants built underground libraries, all over the world, to ensure that knowledge was freely available. They set up training and medical facilities. They connected the world with roads. They tried to teach the new evolving races about their mistakes and all the horrors they had witnessed. They hoped repeating those mistakes was avoidable, with their guidance. Unfortunately they saw the same mistakes being made. They walked back into the desert from which they came after becoming tired of the needless strife. The libraries and other facilities have largely been looted but some are still sealed, some empty and some are just full of surprises…
