Great storms mark new eras. The sun darkens, lightning and thunder roll out, and the earth-god pours out flood waters to wipe the land clean. The sun died, and the giants with it.

Rune lives near the surface of earth's crust, near the dumping grounds of the human factory. He was raised by Bless, a Styracosaurus queen, and her abyssal fiend underlings. They were both named by the mayor's vanguard. He has next to zero knowledge about his people and is saddened by his lack of cultural identity, ultimately pursuing search of it over remaining with his beastly family.

A lost race of hi-tech horned giants who live in a lush, perfumed garden at earth's core or deep caves in the crust. The garden is inaccessible to all. Their culture interacts with a deceptive, wise snake-people race who live exclusively near the garden who speaks a different, hissing language. They believe above the crust exists a sea/firmament. The only surviving speakers are hologram VIs guides who answer simple questions in natural language using their database, and most act as receptionists or tour guides. Most surviving writings are signs, bardic songs and poetry, magical runic inscriptions, and words written on scroll-like robes. They do not have judicial, bureaucratic, medical records. Everything they need springs from the earth. Sword trees, soda pools, etc.

They measure time by pendulum swings (chronos) and by events (kairos). Generally, dates and hours are unimportant to the ancient, undying giants. Their sense of time is more relational and event-driven, saying "before the last storm," "during X's rule," or "in the times of X"

language

The main giantic language encountered in Blessfrey is early Semitic. Its cultural neighbors speak the hissing serpent language and the sing-song syllabic fairy language. The written version of early Semitic Giantic only marks consonants and is usually written into stone.

All fauna and flora, living and extinct, endures within the central garden in the earth's interior. They have an important, enduring purpose to serve as illustrative symbols, and there will never be a generation without at least one surviving member of each as long as the earth exists. Some wander out around the serpent city, the rest of the interior, the crust, and rarely even emerge on the surface. These are the original forms of life without any adaptations, so proto polar bears and proto desert rats live happily together in the same temperate central garden biome.

jobs (RPG classes)

-People are born job-less but arguably with a propensity towards a particular job. They can train towards mastery of a job, but giant jobs are so complex and slow to learn that it is exceptionally rare to have more than one or to change jobs. They usually deviate dramatically from their parents, learning through apprenticeships and self-learning. It's more likely for a giant to travel to a foreign land in pursuit of a trade than it is for a giant to study his father's trade under his father.

Rune lives near the surface of earth's crust, near the dumping grounds of the human factory. He was raised by Bless, a Styracosaurus queen, and her abyssal fiend underlings. They were both named by the mayor's vanguard. He has next to zero knowledge about his people and is saddened by his lack of cultural identity, ultimately pursuing search of it over remaining with his beastly family.

    All fauna and flora, living and extinct, endures within the central garden in the earth's interior. They have an important, enduring purpose to serve as illustrative symbols, and there will never be a generation without at least one surviving member of each as long as the earth exists. Some wander out around the serpent city, the rest of the interior, the crust, and rarely even emerge on the surface. These are the original forms of life without any adaptations, so proto polar bears and proto desert rats live happily together in the same temperate central garden biome.
