Early explorers found it was best to avoid the massive giants that roamed the land. A bard, named Antonis of Oriel, wandered too close and was captured by a group called the Nilhorn. He offered the only gift he could for his life, he played a song. The wild giants were so entranced by his song that, when it ended, they sat unmoving and Antonis could have simply walked out of the makeshift camp they had dragged him back to. Fascinated by finding his new audience so appreciative, Antonis continued to play, and his performances became a part of the giants’ nightly rituals.

  • Early explorers found it was best to avoid the massive giants that roamed the land. A bard, named Antonis of Oriel, wandered too close and was captured by a group called the Nilhorn. He offered the only gift he could for his life, he played a song. The wild giants were so entranced by his song that, when it ended, they sat unmoving and Antonis could have simply walked out of the makeshift camp they had dragged him back to. Fascinated by finding his new audience so appreciative, Antonis continued to play, and his performances became a part of the giants’ nightly rituals. Antonis stayed with the Nilhorn for three years, until one of them reported seeing a Sheaim army approching his homeland. The giants avoided any settled land and tried to convince Antonis not to return, but he left the giants and returned to defend Oriel. Although a talented musician, Antonis was an incompetent warrior and he was killed defending Oriel. When he fell, the Nilhorn came out of the forests and approached the besieged village. Both armies froze, unaccustomed to seeing giants willing to enter civilized lands. Searching the battlefield, the giants found Antonis’s body, and, enraged, they set upon the Sheaim. The village defenders cheered at their new-found allies and joined in the assault. The battle was quick and the Sheaim were turned back. After it was over, the giants picked up the body of Antonis and carried it with them into the forests. The village raised a monument to their large rescuers and swore never to forget the aid they were given. The Sheaim never forgot the failed battle either, and forever avoided Oriel in their attacks.
