The far north is the natural home of the Jotuni. There amongst the ice and rocks and tundra they have grown to a large size and developed their considerable war-like skills. The Jotun homecity of Jotunheim is open to all races, if they can stand the intense cold of the north.
Jotuni are stronger than other races, their gains
in life concentrate on those having to do with strength and health. They
have average eyesight. They are much more resistant to most cold conditons
than other races, but they are also much more liable to suffer in heated
conditions. Jotuni stand tall and proud, and although they are skilled
in war, they are also craftspeople. Most are actually very gentle by nature.
They are very pale skinned, and their eyes and hair are light in color.
Jotuni have supreme offensive skills, and fairly poor
defensive ones. In combat they have a special skill, called berserk,
which allows them to achieve more damage. It prevents them from
taking life saving measures, however.
In spite of the coldness of their surroundings, Jotuni are a warm hearted people who
love laughter and jokes. They are also quite warlike, and both sexes train long and hard
at it, althought women are usually confined to their homes after marriage unless they
commit to a trade. Craftsmanship is another Jotuni trait, and Jotuni are second only to
Ertlorten in their abilities in this area. Jotunheim reflects this, and the town is
very ingeniously built, each section overseen by the King. The King is mainly in
charge of construction and warfare, a council does most of the other ruling.
*: Some of the cities and towns are not yet built, as the mud is all original and building takes time. These descriptions are provided for reference and to help with character creation and context. The creation of these elements will follow the guidelines outlined above.
