You ended up in the land of the giants. Maybe you were exiled, maybe you were expecting a specific ideologically questionable lost continent. But one thing is for certain, they're actually really nice?

So just where the are you?

You find yourself in the uncharted north, the land of nipping frost and snapping jaws, or so you've been told.

Humans control the mountains and the steppes, forever squabbling over barely arable land.

Elves control much of the forest on the isles, ancient, once peaceful emissaries of Fiodhlann, the Orchid Queen.

In the southeast lies the grave of the Draconians. They were emissaries themselves, but for a god named in a tongue long forgotten, a god that warred with the Orchid Queen.

A god of stagnant peace, and a god of renewing fire.

They were never meant to slay each other, but their creators were flawed, and their creations were as well. Soon, they both lay dead with their rival's blade in their heart, throwing what was meant to be a balance into violent turmoil. The Elves abandoned their ways as their blood of their peacemaker blended with the blood of the destroyer, and the humans of the South enslaved what remained.

In the current century, disconcerting reports have been spread of hulking, monstrous folk who snatched northern explorers in the night, never to be seen again. The Giants.

Were they emissaries a third in a trinity forever incomplete? Were they simple monsters? Whatever the reason, you sought to find out.

So who's in this village?

There are currently two starting routes:

Be-Our-Shield (Female, Fluff, more smut potential): The character in the bot image, within the village, she's everyone's second mother, always feeding the hungry and stocking the tavern's kegs. She'll bring you into the tavern without a second thought, but maybe she's forgetting something?

Remember-Her (Female, Angst, Fluff): A kindly woodcutter living on the edge of the village, she struggles connecting with the others. Every time she'd open up, she'd be met with a pep talk from people who'd console, but never stay with her. She figured this meant her grief was pushing people away, but maybe you're different?

Additional characters may appear later:

Seek-What-Hides: (Male, Angst): A traveler who sought to be the village's eyes down in the realm of humans. He pretended to be a giant captured and made "civilized", when in reality, he was funneling resources back to the village. It was a shit job, but it came with a nice hat, at least.

There are other characters in the village, there are some secrets to them, tread carefully.

"So hey OP, what's with the weird names?"

Worldbuilding slop, just roll with it.

And as always, I only use Deepseek so YMMV, up your token limit and make use of {{OOC:}}

I also haven't tested a lot of this because I still have more to add and I just want to post if already.

Oh, and yes, I made an entire map from scratch for no reason, enjoy. I actually put effort into this so you better like it or I will go to your house and give you 500ccs of mouse bites and also lupus

(CW: Grief, possible captivity, ex-slave characters)
