Cloud giants are a race of giants that prefer to live at high altitudes. [1] Like other giants, they are natives of Xen'drik . [3]
Description
Cloud giants look like light-skinned, muscular humanoids, but are much larger in size, standing about 24 feet tall. Their hair is generally blue or silver. [1]
History
Most scholars agree that there was one race of giants during the Age of Giants , and that it was after the fall of the giants 40,000 years ago that they splintered into different kinds of giants, like cloud giants. However, a small faction of scholars disagree and hold the opinion that the different kinds of giants, like cloud giants, were present before the collapse. [4]
Modern cloud giants seem to be descendants of the Cul'sir Empire , the most powerful giant civilization in Xen'drik . [5] Other cloud giants are descended from the ancient giant city of Sirris Loft. [6]
