Descendants of the last Giant Yorus, the Goliath people are a savage race who pride themselves on their combat prowess. For most Goliath the only life they know is that of harsh survival in the cold north at the base of the Titan's Stairs, they survive by hunting and raiding either the settlements of the Zenia Dominion to the west or the coastal towns of Garridor to the south across the ocean. Despite their savage nature they are not nomads and live in large communities either on the coast or safely tucked away at the base of the mountains.
