The Giants are still planning to store high level nuclear waste in my village. They don't really want to, but they can't help themselves. This is where Giant legends come in handy. Human beings have always had to deal with big hostile powers. Without divulging too much, let me share some of what I've learned from Giant lore.
Giants are very large and very powerful.
Everybody knows this. In many traditions, Giants came from breeding between gods and humans. If you can remind those who serve Giants that they are or used to be human, you're half-way home. Giants are very hungry. In a pinch, they'll eat whole cattle, sheep or goats.
