Thurses

Thurses are race of Giant like humanoids that live mostly on the Northeast of Aldurtho.

Religion
All Thurses worship the eternal enemies of the Gods, the Etuns. They were the ones that created them to harm the creation of the gods, which is our world and all living beings in it.

History
Thurses were created by the Etuns, the mighty adversaries of the Gods. Their being can be traced back to the ancient times when the Holy Gods and elves were still shaping the world. After the Gods left and elves started to abuse their power, Etendas used this opportunity to attack the Aldurtho.

No one but them truly knows the origin of their creation but every sentient being on Aldurtho would agree that this heresy was the foulest day in all History.

Characteristics
Thurses decline further into subspecies, which each can have different characteristics.

Giants
Usually have 3-4 meter height and are quite intelligent and organized. They live in tribal societies on the North-east. They are the ancient enemies of the Dwarfs and wage an eternal war with them. Their skin colour may very depending on which tribe they come from but usually their are very pale. Dark Blue and Green Giants are rarer and are usually the leaders of Warband and Tribes.

Trolls
They tent to be bigger than the giants but much less intelligent and primitive. They are usually around 5 meters tall. Ye can tell them from giants as they are extremely ugly and smell worse than elves. Some of the male trolls might even be rather peaceful if dealt with accordingly. Everyone must be wary of Troll Wenches though, they are vicious creatures and often can use dark magic.

Kyklopes
They are similar too trolls but just a bit smarter and have only one big eye. They usually can be found on the south of the Aldurtho living as hermits on islands.
