In the eyes of the gods, the giants were all titanspawn, and they were justly punished after the defeat of their titan masters. The storm god Enkili passed down a most ironic punishment to the Hundred-Hand Ones, a group of the most magically gifted and most arrogant cloud dwelling giants, for the role they played in the Divine War. The Trickster tore their physical forms asunder, making them as hollow as the wind. Thus, these giants, who had formerly crushed dwarves with one blow of their mighty fists, were reduced to cloudy, ephemeral beings, doomed to an eternity as strange creatures of the clouds and mists.
A celestian giant appears as giant, translucent, vaguely humanoid form, its cloudlike, amorphous body wavering and shifting as it moves. Huge crystal blue eyes stare down with a cold, startlingly fierce intelligence.
This booklet contains game traits, tactics, and a brief overview of the celestian giant’s history and appearance. This booklet also includes plot hooks for introducing the celestian giant into your campaign!
