Firbolg

"Trees have problems too ya know, they just don't like to trouble other people with it."

- Evertall Birchborn, Firbolg Druid

Ripples in Nature
There are those who believe the universe is composed of a trifecta of power: the Arcane, the Divine, and the Natural. These primordial forces are supple and firm, stretching across reality like a thick membrane. It has often been the case that foolhardy glory seekers have tried to prod this membrane, causing a ripple of energy to skim along its surface. With the Arcane or Divine spheres this may result in a great disaster or curse. With the Natural sphere, however, this can often result in the birth of a Firbolg.

Born of the Forest
Deep within the wilds, where Nature is at its strongest, lie great manifestations of natural power. Grandfather Archtrees, Great Beasts, and Amran stones are examples of these manifestations. Should the Natural sphere be threatened, these manifestations will birth a large, fully matured humanoid creature gifted with the power needed to defend its homeland. These creatures are known as Firbolg.

Solitary Lives
Firbolg's are born with innate knowledge of their purpose and goals, gifted to them from Nature. Often these goals require the resolution of a single problem that Nature is facing: perhaps a fire is ravaging an ancient forest, or a team of poachers are wiping out whole species of animals. Whatever the problem, a Firbolg will not rest until they have completed their task. Once that task is complete, however, Frbolgs find themselves without purpose or knowledge of the world around them. Often these forgotten creatures choose to live out their lives near the place of their birth, waiting out the days until they return to their creator. Sometimes, however, a Firbolg will leave its home, searching for a new sense of purpose and adventure.
