The Beast

Eos the Unbroken, or to the mortals of history, The Beast, was a giant among giants, so big he could barely fit between the ranges of obscura and his hunger so exceptional he was given tribute to ensure he did not crush many underfoot in psychotic rage. He was so massive the old kings of the drow could not rally the strength of the blade to break his skin, the dwarves could not brew enough ironforge ale to poison his gullet, and the tribes of the Everridge could not shatter his bones with their great rams. Thus he was a menace and a tyrant, until the coming of Behcan Dakmors, who united the regional warlords and chieftains and devised a wicked strategy after his pilgrimage to Olman's Awakening.
In the ensuing battle, Eos would be felled by ironwood rams shattering his ankles, force fed a glut of spiked ale that would poison the monster, and his eyes pierced so that the drow could ravage his brains and destroy him. In the end, many died but Eos, a living mountain, was kileld and ritually divided by the participating the factions for what they required. Skin for the drow to make armor, organs for the dwarves to feast, and muscle and bone for the Canis to have a true home. With the death of the greatest of their kind, the Giants never held enough sway over their neighbors again, were pushed back by the Empire, and ultimately nearly destroyed by the Spreading of Obscura, and Eos' fall is considered the beginning of the end of the giants as they have never regained any semblance of power or honor since his shameful defeat.
