Giants of the Southlands

While the giants of the North are known and the giants who live near the Mountain of Fire are an oft lamented fact, few know of the giants of the uttermost South. Great obsidian-skinned gargantuans who wade through the deep seas as though they were the merest ponds. Sagacious and slow to anger, these philosopher giants rarely leave their island homes, preferring solitary lives to interacting with the shortlived small folk. An exception to this is the young giantess Morgainne, whom the fisherfolk and traders of the villages on the Burning Sea call The Ebony Maiden. She delights in swimming north from her home to travel the coastline south of Jakkatis, occasionally toying with the odd ship and visiting with the small folk along the coast. She never travels far inland, though, as the clime is far too cold for her liking. She often carries her Giant's Horn on the one piece of clothing she deigns to wear - a massive belt made from the sails and figureheads of those ships which have attacked her. One blow on her horn can summon or dismiss raging storms that cause her enemies to flee and her fellow giants to come to her aid.
