Northern Urodian Giants

The Northern giants are widely known as travelers wise beyond their years. In contrast with many of the coastal giants further inland, the northern giants have a strong grasp of the arcane powers that randomly show themselves throughout much of the land. Originally, they were hunter/gatherers, creating small villages that were quickly destroyed in the north by the heavy storms.
After meeting with an unknown group of humans, the giants slowly began to grasp more difficult concepts. Although controversially, many of the greatest philosophers and scientists were originally northern giants, transitioning further inland to spread their knowledge to others. 
However, very few species accepted giants logic, or even giants themselves. Originally noted as creatures of barbaric destruction, many cities raised their pitchforks and charged the giants, leaving them without a moment to speak. This created a bitter friendship with almost all species, as the giants always had to be attentive of their surroundings, for at any moment, they could be attacked by those who disagreed with them.
