Goliaths

As humans fled to the mountains many were raped by trolls before being eaten. A number managed to survive, but their mothers usually wished nothing to do with them. A dwarven clan took pity and began to gather those unfortunates. Grown, they were given a choice to stay with their dwarven family, but most felt cramped and claustrophobic as they reached adult height. They set out to wander and discover themselves. They gathered other children they heard of like them, and grew in numbers, though of no greatness.

Goliaths are now little more than an oddity in Hearth as far as humans are concerned, traveling hither and thither with little to trade for or with. The occasional branta pelt, stone carving, or similar exotic item is all most acquire from them. They rarely visit human lands for they dislike the warm, low, river-fed valleys.

Goliaths are find all across Hearth, often wherever other races can be avoided. Half-orcs were once friends of the goliaths, but their dares and reckless nature caused so many young goliaths to perish in an attempt to save their pride that they are now treated with cold hostility.
