Giant-kin

Physical Description
Giant-kin are muscular and extremely tall, averaging between 10 and 11 feet tall, with some far taller than that. Their pigmentation resembles that of humans, although their tough skin tans less readily; occasionally, their giant heritage will show through with brilliant red, blue or white hair, or unusually-coloured eyes. Male giant-kin are hirsute, easily growing thick beards at a relatively young age, although not to the extent of a male dwarf. Their oversized bodies are supported by extremely dense muscles and almost solid bones, giving giant-kin a tremendous mass even considering their sheer size.

Society
Their considerable size and low numbers cause giant-kin to always live at least partially segregated from the rest of mainstream society. Only in the most metropolitan of cities do they approach anything nearly approximating a community, and even then it is noticeably outside the general populace. Usually slated for either manual labour or mercenary work, humans capitalise on a giant-kin's prodigious strength and unflagging stamina (as well as their relatively agreeable nature compared to the other 'brute-labour' race, orc-kin). If a single giant-kin can perform the work of four normal men, even paying him enough to feed his quadruple-sized appetite will leave an employer in profit.

Unlike orc-kin, giant-kin have never been uniformly subjected to slavery as a race; this is in part due to their tremendous size and comparable intelligence to the far more populous humans, but also due to the almost complete scarcity of giant-kin on the continents of Solvu and Elangre.
