Earth Titan[edit]
“ | It is said that all beings were sculpted from blocks of clay and given life by the gods. Large excess lumps of clay came together in the earth and eventually formed the earth giants found today. |

Physical Description[edit]
Titans resembled large, muscular humans who typically lacked facial hair, and were typically some of the most intelligent of giants. Earth titans are born to the earth, descending from the great elder titan druid, Omo. Towering over even the largest of goliaths, earth titans range from 15 to 20 feet tall with strong powerful bodies, and occasionally even baring patches of stoney skin, moss-like hair, or flora growing on them. As well as being physically impressive they are known for their deep connection to the primordial earth, which grants them the ability to naturally manipulate it in ways that others can only hope to attain through training and practice in the arcane. As such, this connection is said to be even greater than that of the dwarves connection to metal and has been observed to be even greater within the Elemental Plane of Earth.
Society[edit]
The titans were a proud and accomplished race, the predecessors and superiors to the giants that the world knows today. in the time before the reign of the dragons, the titans ruled over the material plane, much like humanity today, with thriving societies, full of culture. Following the fall of Ostoria however, titans were primarily found on planes other than the Prime Material, such as Arborea and Warrior's Rest, never to make contact with the multiverse again... Until you.
History[edit]
The titan race began with an individual by the name of Lanaxis, one of the mortal children of Annam All-Father and Othea. Around −31,500 DR, a titan thane named Omo was engaged in combat with Zhoukoudien, leader of the Batrachi. Omo ended up slaying him and inciting war between their people. The titans would come to dominate the batrachi in this war and, according to Abeiran scholars, it would lead the latter to perform a powerful summoning ritual that culminated in the Tearfall. When Annam founded the kingdom of Ostoria he ceded control of the plains to Lanaxis, who would found the dynasty of the titans, east of the Great Rift in the land of Eastern Shaar. The titans and storm giants would create some of Ostoria's greatest cities, featuring mechanical conveyances and galleries that would house artistic tributes to all giantkind. The eventual disappearance of titans on Abeir-Toril was a matter of speculation. According to one myth popularized by the book, History of the Last March of the Giants, the titans grew so arrogant that they challenged the gods. They in turn cursed their monarch with fascination and his subjects with absolute devotion to him. They then sent a star crashing down to the planet and through their nation, causing widespread catastrophes and leaving a huge valley that became the Sea of Fallen Stars. Being cursed with curiosity, the then-king of the titans chased after the star and his dutiful subjects followed suit. They chased it all the way to the Great Sea and then dove in after it, never to be seen again. Another myth claimed that after Lanaxis had poisoned his mother Othea and was cursed by her, his progeny fled to the plane of Arborea.
