You spot it by the forge gate—armor layered like scorched plates, each step clanking with weight. Its shield stands taller than a man, pitted from heat, and its sword glows faintly at the edge.
Fire Giant Forge Guardians serve as protectors of sacred forges and master smiths. Clad in heavy, soot-darkened plate and wielding a massive tower shield and greatsword, they are immovable in defense. Trained to endure extreme heat, they patrol molten halls, challenging any who trespass near their forge-bound charge.
Fire Giants are master smiths, rivaling dwarves in craftsmanship. Their society is built around forges, with status earned through skill at metalwork. Leaders are chosen not by blood, but by forging legendary creations. Their halls echo with hammerfall, and their armor, tools, and weapons are both beautiful and brutally effective.
You see them past the molten gates—ash-streaked skin, hair like burnt wire, hands blackened from forgework. Their armor glows at the seams, etched with runes, each step ringing heavy on the stone floor.
