Goliaths are race of huge barbarians whose natural home is the White Mountains north of
The Waste. In appearance they look more like giants than humans
but nevertheless they tend to be friendly to human travellers they encounter. They are
straightforward to deal with and but is best not to try and cheat them as they can be ferocious
when roused. They have no written history although their oral traditions clearly remember the
Great Darkness and the dominance of the
Giants, for whom they have no liking.
Their religion has similarities to the Old Religion but
they have a number of gods who personify the aspects of nature. Druids, Rangers and clerics
of St. Erin tend to be welcomed especially in Goliath camps.
They are not uncommon in the towns of The Waste where they come to trade. They may also be
seen in
Mountain Hall where they trade with dwarves but are also
valued as mercenary scouts. They are rarely seen in
Cambria itself although they sometimes act as mercenaries.
Lord Fairchild has some Goliaths amongst his peronal guard.
