Folstag

Folstag is a Midgardian frost giant who appears in Age of Mythology. He is mentioned but unseen in Fall of the Trident, appears as a minor antagonist in The Golden Gift, and finally appears as a protagonist in The New Atlantis. He was renowned for being a raider and a pillager, eventually changing his ways and became a respected figure in the Norselands.
==Biography==
===The Golden Gift===
During Brokk's journey to his forge, he encounters Folstag's warband along the way, and hinders his efforts in passing through. He controls the weather which puts Brokk's men at risk of being frozen if caught in his pass during a storm. Depending on the player choice, Brokk can either visit Folstag in his lair and fight him directly, or move along without fighting.
===Fall of the Trident===
Folstag is not directly seen or encountered, but is referenced during the Norse Arc of the main campaign. Skult carries a flag that represents him, and deceives Arkantos into presenting the flag to a group of fighting clans. Unbeknownst to Arkantos, they turned out to be victims of Folstag's pillaging, and believed that Arkantos's men were his supporters. Consequently, they turn hostile against the heroes, much to their confusion, before Skult vanishes.
===The New Atlantis===
Folstag once again appears, this time as an ally, due to his change of heart of his savage ways and having created union amongst the Norsemen and giants. As Kastor, Amanra and Ajax arrive in the Norselands to thwart the Titan Ymir's rampage, he joins Folstag and his fellow frost giants. Throughout the battle, he summons the Nidhogg to defeat the Titan, but there was a significant waiting period before his arrival. The heroes endure the Titan's wrath as Folstag regularly summons his frost giants, and uses his own frozen breath to slow him down. Eventually, the Nidhogg arrives and Ymir is killed.
