Jotunnborn

## Biology

Jotunnborn are the descendants of the first humanoids to live in the Crowned Isles. Though their ancestors were massive towering creatures said to move continents, the Jotunnborn now stand slightly closer to human height, averaging at 10 feet as females and 12 feet as males. They’re extremely primal, most of them knowing little of the modern world beyond what’s been abandoned by humans.

Due to their ancient nature, the Jotunnborn can only have connection to the four elements of nature: Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. The Jotunnborn are the most unevolved race in existence, being the exact same for 5000 years.

## History

The Jotunnborn are descended from the Jotunn, giant creatures that lived before the Gods and created the Isles. Once the Giants finished building the Isles, they all fell down to the ground and as their bodies degraded, the chunks turned into the first Jotunnborn. The Jotunnborn created tribes based on their Magic, and they've remained that way for years.

After the Great Convergence, curious Jotunnborn began integrating into modern societies to pursue new horizons that their race has never achieved before.
