Ettin

The Ettin were a race of Giants that existed in The Realm.

Shortly after the Celestial War, the rogue Celestials influenced the minds of the Giants to make war with one another. The Ettin were created by kidnapped Gaurmac Giant scientists as weapons to me used by the Gorthmag.

In the years that would follow, some Ettin were chosen by Gesgar the First to travel to a new land. The group settled the Island of Anatamor and the Ettin were initially subservient to the Gorthmag Giants. However, after 1000 of servitude, the Ettin rebelled against their leaders after the Gorthmag introduced the religion of Al'mahor into the Kingdom. The Kingdom collapsed and the Ettin established their own Dynasty in it's wake.

After 230 years of the Ettin spreading across the continent of Thaniria, they realised they could not colonise the southern land of Aranelous due to the giant spiders that lived there. So they travelled further north instead, coming into Lithua and attacking the tribe of Man known as the Westerlords. Despite victory being within their grasp, the Ogres betrayed the Ettin during the Clash of Men and Giants, leading to their defeat and the collapse of the Ettin Dynasty.

The Ettin were subsequently hunted by Man after the war's conclusion. Although the Ogres were hunted to extinction, the Ettin survived in small numbers in the Blackwood of Thaniria.
