=Titans=
Titans are the origin of all Giants except for False Giants. The Titans came from the Feywilds when the planes came into existence. They haven’t been seen in centuries, and no one knows if they still exist. Despite the Titan’s origins being from the feywilds, they are not considered fey. All known Giants now reside in and live in the material plane. Titans were said to have the ability to scale themselves in size in order to blend in with mortal society. In doing so led to the creation of what we refer to as the Giant-kin today.
There were 5 Titans known to exist. One being male and the other four being female.
*Atlas the All-Father - Master of Strength and Force.
*Oceanus - Able to command and control water land weather.
*Rhea - Who was able to control the winds and air.
*Theia - Who is capable of controlling fire and volcanic activity.
*Uranus - Was able to move and control the Earth and sand.
The True Giants are pure offsprings of the 5 Titans. Runt Giants are offspring from just Atlas trying to get back at the 4 female Titans who produced the Elemental Giants by having offspring with those from the material plane. However, it seems that while Atlas is able to pass on his brute strength and size, the intelligence and magical connection within his offspring were quite low or in some cases completely absent. The giant offspring from just the female Titans maintain their elements or magic, but some were rather small, with some as large as humans. False Giants, however, aren’t connected to the Titans but either by acts of nature or share similarities to the other 3 giant types, thus being considered False Giants.
=True Giants=
The True Giants are pure offspring of the 5 Titans. They are the offspring of the All-Father and the Four Female Titans. They are the first known giants and the most powerful among the 4 known kinds.
Types:
*Storm Giant
*Cloud Giant
*Mountain Giant
*Sand Giant
=Elemental Giants=
The Elemental Giants came after the True Giants. Among the Titans, the treatment by the All-Father caused the Female Titans to abandon him. They assumed their human size and traveled the world in search of a proper partner. The offspring from the Titans and the beings of the material plane became the Elemental Giants we know now. They maintain the abilities of the female Titans but don’t possess the same size and strength of the Runt and True Giants.
Types:
*Fire Giant
*Stone Giant
*Frost Giant
*Fog Giant
=Runt Giants=
Runt Giants are offspring of Atlas and those of the material plane. The true origins of each type are lost in time either due to how much time has passed or due to the low IQ of the Runt Giants. After the abandonment of the Female Titans, the All-Father, in an attempt to get back at them, traveled the world seeking women. The resulting offspring became what are known as the Runt Giants. While they are called Runt, this does not mean they are small, but it is actually a reference to their small minds. The Runt Giants, while large and strong, have no blessings from the female titans such as magic or the elements.
Types:
*Cyclops
*Ettin
*Hill Giant
*Ogres
*Troll
=False Giants=
The False Giants aren’t connected to the Titans but, due to their size and sharing similarities, are considered a type of Giant. They are looked down on by the True Giants for various reasons. They live in lush and distant locations relative to their element.
Types:
*Desert Giant
*Jungle Giant
*Reef Giant
*Island Giant
