Lore: The Half-Giants are a Fusion of the Common Human and the now extinct Giant. They were conceived during a long territory war with early humanity. Humanities numbers allowed them to over-power the giants, however the giants had the physical advantage, and won several victories, ones where they would often take human mates. Few human females survived any resulting pregnancies, however female giants survived their conception from their human male sex slaves. The resulting children became the Half-Giants. Giants died out after they were pushed back finally and into Orcish tribal lands, whom had no mercy and slaughter all but the children. Some children were taken in, most were left to fend for them selves however, and developed a very tribal life style similar to the Orcish People, most live in and around the mountains of the world, to avoid prying eyes and angry mobs.
Summary Note: The Barbarians, Half-Giants resent Humanity and Orcish kind for their roles in the death of their parents species, the Giants. Few Giants actually acknowledge being related to humanity, and prefer to think of them selves as Giants. They are prone to acts of violence and terror, and many take up roles as pirates,raiders, bandits, or highwaymen. Their armies are known to have skirmishes with both the Orcish Clans and the Human kingdoms of the world.
