Fomorian The godless Fomorians are the " most hideous and wicked of all giantkind . " They are hideously deformed and misshapen , but the random positioning of their sense organs gives them keen perception . Fomorians have no loyalty beyond those they fear and seek the enslavement of all creatures , particularly other fey . In 4th edition , fomorians were defined as the Feywild ' s " dark reflections of the massive titans " wielding massive magical powers . They primarily inhabit the Feydark , the Underdark ' s counterpart on the plane of Faerie , but could easily enter the Prime Material Plane through portals , crossings , and their ritual magic . In their native plane , fomorians ' magical power is so monstrous it causes them endless pain , which slowly drives them insane . The Monster Manual 2 4th edition lists the following formorian classes : ghost shaman , cackler ( assassin ) , totemist , blinder , and butcher . With the Second Sundering and implementation of 5th edition , fomorians ' magical capabilities in Faerûn have been greatly diminished . Society . The fomorians , along with their cyclops servants , are the Feydark ' s greatest organized threat to the eladrin of the Feywild . Harrowhame , Mag Tureah , and Vor Thomil are the three largest domains ruled by ruthless giants , " twisted in body and mind as the result of wielding staggering arcane power . " Harrowhame , known for its slave trade , is ruled by King Bronnor who often contracts with the lycanthropes of nearby Brokenstone Vale . King Thrumbolg , the First Lord , reigns supreme over the largest fomorian kingdom , Mag Tureah , which is riddled with myriad portals to other planes . The mad Queen Connomae rules Vor Thomil , where " [ c ] aptured travelers are forced to perform for her entertainment as poets , singers , actors or gladiators . " Fomorian society in Faerûn after the Second Sundering ( i . e . , 5th edition ) has not been detailed . Myths and legends . Most fomorians believe that the prophetic king of giants will be born as a fomorian and will not realize his destiny at first , but when he does , he will be transformed into a giant larger than any titan , and subsequently transform the entire fomorian race also . Combat . The fomorians deformities prevent them from throwing boulders the way other giants do ; however , they still wield mighty weapons , usually greatclubs , and , in 4th edition , they wielded advanced arcane spells . In 5th edition , fomorians have only one magic attack , called " evil eye " , and the additional ability to deal " curse of the evil eye " on an enemy . History . According to the Monster Manual 5th edition , fomorians " were among the most handsome of races , possessed of brilliant minds and unrivaled magic ability . " However , their greed drove them in a quest to acquire all the magic of the Feywild . The other fey united in defense and defeated the fomorians . As they fell , " their bodies were warped to reflect the evil in their hearts . " Behind the Scenes . Early on fomorians were described as a hideously ugly and grossly deformed type of giant - kin , created when the giant deity Annam All - Father ' s wife , Othea , had an affair with Ulutiu . Males were approximately 13 ' 6 " ( 4 . 11 m ) and weighed about 1 , 000 lbs ( 450 kg ) while females stood about 13 ' ( 3 . 96 m ) and weighed 660 lbs ( 300 kg ) . They usually spoke Sylvan , were neutral evil in alignment and , if classed , barbarian s . In 2nd edition , fomorians primarily worshiped the god Karontor and often performed manual labor for frost giant s , hill giant s and ogre s ( especially in the Ice Spires ) in exchange for food and lodging of poor quality . Due to their physical appearance , fomorians were only tolerated by these societies . Otherwise , fomorians were usually found in caves , abandoned mine shafts , or like areas , decorated by the half - eaten remains of their last meal , with the strongest fomorian ruling over the rest , and females and children treated no better than slaves . Captives were usually tortured for their captors ' amusement , then eaten .
