Far south of the desert city of Hamsah Mu'tazz, many miles beyond the Oryx
Steppes is a village named Jhul'Tuq. A tribe of primitive fire giants reside
here, fierce hunters and warriors, strong in spirit and mind. They know
nothing of the great wars of Thera, mostly the local tribes do battle with
each other, though their territories are vast and conflict is usually
secondary to harvesting food for the dry seasons.

Spiritual guidance and divine powers are found in the dreams of the
shaman.Foretelling and predictions are crucial to the survival of the
village due to chaotic warfare and dry spells of the land.
It was in this village that Raquintas and Talrog were raised. The
brothers were known for their cleverness in the hunt as well as in
skirmishes, but neither were overly large as far as fire giants go. It was
not unusual to see them battling with large staves or other wooden weapons,
or wrestling, and they were usually equal matched though Raquintas was four
years younger than his brother.
Life was hard but satisfying in the village, but all that was soon to
change..
