Hverr heðra muna langst fram dogr Myrkr en hath eta funa himin Einga Dvergr, laesa ii fjallr En sa Jotunn thaer knatta ne andast \- [[The Himinjoðyr]] --- # Introduction The Jotunn are a giant heritage, and are sometimes called the Monsters of the Mountain. Elementally gifted and long lived, they are intimidating to those who know little of them. ## Physiology Jotunn have a wide range in height variance. While the average Jotunn is about 3 meters high, the tallest are almost 4 meters, while the smallest are about 2 meters. Jottun have significant dandruff and dead skin build up that they shed constantly. Jotunn are steeped in elemental power which manifests strongly as they go through puberty. Jotunns are known for their tremendous appetites, and the necessary resources to sustain them take up large amounts of the surrounding land. Therefore, Jotunn specific cities are, by necessity usually much farther away than most other cities. Jotunn are highly susceptible to starvation and have to consider food supply much more carefully than others. There are rumors of them devouring smaller folk in times of hardship, and paranoid individuals give them wide berth. While most folk live somewhere between 100-200 years, Jotunn can live up to 400 years, although this rather rare. ## General Culture Jotunn prize self sufficiency and self control and tend to have a rather stoic outlook. Because of their aforementioned appetites, Jotunn cities are far and few, and usually self-governing. Because the Jotunn are an elementally-tinged race, they have strong relationships with the Sagani. There is also a significant overlap of culture among the Jotunn and Dvergr.  Jotunn typically either stay in their cities or live in solitude in the wilderness. They are a rare sight in cities of other races. # Statline Entity Type: [[Entities|Giant]], [[Entities|Cthonic]], [[Entities|Folk]] [[Size and Weight]]: Large, Heavyweight [[Move|Speed]]: 14 meters [[Vulnerabilities and Resistances|Resistance]]: [[Damage|Blunt]], [[Damage|Slashing]], [[Damage|Hacking]] [[Vulnerabilities and Resistances|Vulnerabilities]]: [[Magnus]], [[Damage|Corrosive]] +2 [[Strength|Stalwart]], +1 [[Strength|Might]], +1 [[Constitution|Vigor]] [[Ancient Power]] [[Voracious]] [[Claustrophobic]] ## Optional Facets - [[Smallfolk Stomach]] - [[Ogham Annalist]] # Elemental Affinities Jotunn are known for their elemental traits.
