Firbolg

Firbolgs are a race of beings who originate from Ireland that are genetically related to both the giants and the fay.

Appearance
Firbolgs, being related to giants, are rather large, standing around 11-12 feet tall. They tend to have light skin, hair as green as grass, eyes of a similar color, and, as they are related to the fay, pointed ears. They tend to wear simple, plain clothing, nothing too flashy.

Behavior
Firbolgs are a peaceful race, who would rather keep to themselves, talking about philosophy, than fighting. Don't get this twisted, however, as they will use both their fay magic, and their giant strength, to defend themselves if necessary. They tend to mate for life, and females will usually give birth to one child at a time, but multiple births are not uncommon.
