Cyclops

The Cyclops are one of the many sub-races of Giant-kin that inhabit the world of Kylorne. They are in the medium height range of giant-kin averaging at 15 meters tall. They are known to have eye colour ranging from red, pink, purple, blue, green, orange, and yellow. Their skin pigmentation is usually white or black and they can have hair pigments ranging from blonde, brown, and black.
Cyclops are extremely similar to humans with their defining feature being their singular eye. Cyclops are known to have a mouth full of canines as they have very little need for chewing. Cyclops can live for many hundreds of years with four hundred being the average. They reach maturity around age eighteen.
Cyclops have roamed the lands of Kylorne for many centuries. These beings have a fairly low population in comparison to the smaller humanoids of Kylorne, but they can still be seen on any continent.

=== First Cyclops ===
The first cyclops was born from the titans Verkaret and Morane. Verkaret and Morane were disgusted with the child, so Verkaret carried the child deep into the forest and left it by the edge of a lake in hopes that the child would soon perish. After a few hours the baby began to cry. These cries shook the area around the child causing a few beings to investigate. Eventually a golem stumbled upon the child and took it into his care. Stefarl, the golem, raised this child as his own and taught him the ways of forging as he was taught. This cyclops child would grow into a leader and symbol for all future cyclops. Endleda was the name of the child. He would travel the lands of Kylorne in search of more like himself for years to pass. After twenty three years had passed, Endleda returned to his first home. He was unwelcome in this land, but he heard rumors of someone like himself. In this village he found another cyclops much like himself, yet this girl had been chained to the town walls. The titans inhabiting the village had tortured this girl daily for years, they tortured her for her singular ugly eye that his parents had abandoned him for. Endleda, disgusted by the actions of the titans, broke the chains binding the girl and turned to face the inhabitants. One after one the titans would attempt to slay Endleda, yet only the titans would fall in his stead. On his way out of the village, Endleda set the houses aflame and never looked back. The female cyclops, Fangela, would follow Endleda forward into the future for many years to come. The two would travel Kylorne in search for more cyclops that had been shunned by the giant-kin society and slowly freed them one by one.
