Annam All - Father Annam All - Father was a giant deity and creator of the giant race . Background . Annam came across the planet of Abeir - Toril at a time before the existence of dwarves , elves , and human s . He met and married Othea , who took the form of a mountain on the edge of the Cold Lands . They had children , who were not Annam ' s first ( he had previously had immortal children ) , but they were Annam ' s first terrestrial children . His favorite sons were Lanaxis , Masud , Nicias , Obadai , Ottar , Ruk , and Vilmos , who all went on to form one of the main giant species , and his two - headed son , Arno and Julian , went on to become ettin , meaning " runt " . He also believed that Dunmore was his son , but this was not the case : Dunmore ' s father was Ulutiu . Giant traditions held that Annam stopped the Thousand Year War , after having convinced the dragon god Garyx to settle the war with a game of " wah - ree " . So skilled were the two opponents that game ended in a stalemate , and the war came to an end . Annam discovered that his wife was having an affair with Ulutiu and killed Ulutiu as a result . He wanted to have another child who would be able to rebuild his kingdom of Ostoria after the war with the dragons , but Othea was so upset by the death of Ulutiu that she refused . Annam tricked her to get her pregnant , and the pair reached a compromise whereby the child would be allowed to live if Annam agreed to leave Toril until it called his name . It is unclear how Ulutiu returned to life , but he made a deal with Annam whereby the giant god would spare Othea in exchange for Ulutiu ' s voluntary exile .

( 30 m ) deep and was decorated with beautiful coral artwork along the bottom . Though the pool was reserved for Jiraad alone , many young nobles of the Court District considered it a rite of passage to take a dip in the pool when Jiraad was not around .

Jiraad often used his vast intellect to devise mischievous pranks to play on other members of the Court .
