Storm Giant With Hammer

Storm giants are among the most imposing and powerful of all giantkind, standing at the very pinnacle of the Ordning, the hierarchical social structure of giants. Towering over 20 feet tall, often around 21 to 26 feet, they possess immense strength and control over the elements. Their physical appearance typically features bronze skin, dark hair, and sparkling green eyes, though some rare individuals exhibit striking violet skin, deep violet or blue-black hair, and silvery-gray or purple eyes—a coloration considered a sign of good fortune and leadership among their kind. They are amphibious, able to breathe both air and water, and are immune to lightning and thunder damage, while also resisting cold.

In terms of habits and personality, storm giants are generally benevolent and wise, holding a detached perspective on the affairs of the mortal world. They tend to be solitary creatures, preferring isolated abodes high atop mountains, in cloud castles, or in deep underwater palaces, far from the bustling civilizations of lesser races. Their long lifespans, often reaching 600 years, contribute to their contemplative nature, as they spend centuries observing the natural world and reading omens for signs of their god Annam's favor, or to discern the rise and fall of empires. While typically good-aligned, they possess a fearsome temper that, when provoked, can unleash destructive storms and bolts of lightning.

Despite their reclusive nature, storm giants are highly intelligent and possess innate magical abilities, including the power to control weather, levitate, and breathe underwater. They value knowledge, philosophy, and art, often acting as sentinels guarding ancient artifacts or dangerous lore. They are slow to anger, but once roused, their wrath is truly terrifying, capable of toppling kingdoms. They are not typically interested in dominating other giants or forging empires, instead focusing on restoring the ancient glory of giantkind and acting as distant, prophetic observers of the world.
