His reputation has spread throughout the entire wetlands, and he regards himself as the unofficial ruler of all marsh giants in that wild region. He earned notoriety by bringing many goblins in southern Varisia under his heel and establishing relations with the swamp’s boggards. Little occurs among the marsh giants of the Mushfens that the high priest does not command (or at least tolerate). The Mushfens are bordered on the south by Conqueror’s Bay, forming a long coastline where the brutes practice their frightening rituals to Dagon. They are visited often by the demon lord’s sea-spawn, resulting in many births of deformed brineborn. One of Dagon’s horrific emissaries stays with Oozlosh’s tribe occasionally, reveling in the giants’ vulgar devotion. It has tasked Oozlosh with safeguarding the tribe’s brineborn until they are called to fulfill a dark purpose, a secret the high priest guards with his life. Oozlosh’s zealotry for Dagon knows no bounds. He debases himself physically to honor the demon lord and expects his followers to do the same. The high priest’s swamp hovel is not grand, but in the muck around his shack, he secretly conceals prizes scavenged from the tribe’s victims. Oozlosh also keeps a cage of shocker lizards outside his home, having become addicted to the jolts he receives when chewing the creatures. Pathfinder Campaign Setting: Giants Revisited Rune Giant WHEN HIROSHI REACHED THE KODAR MOUNTAINS, HE KNEW HIS GOAL WAS WITHIN REACH. HE HAD ALMOST MADE IT TO VARISIA, WHERE HIS FATHER WAS SUPPOSEDLY BURIED, AND THOUGH HIS MUSCLES ACHED AND HIS HORSE BEGGED HIM TO END HIS FUTILE CHASE, HE CONTINUED ONWARD THROUGH THE PERILOUS PEAKS OF NORTHERN AVISTAN. IT WASN’T UNTIL HE WAS ON THE SOUTHERN SIDE OF THE MOUNTAINS THAT HIROSHI REALIZED HE WASN’T ALONE. TURNING TO FACE WEST, HE SAW A GREAT SHADOW IN THE DISTANCE, AND QUICKLY REALIZED JUST HOW FATAL AN ERROR HIS OBLIVIOUSNESS MIGHT HAVE BEEN. —BAGAR IRAMOLI, AGANHEI: STORIES OF THE DISTANT EAST Rune Giant A mong the largest of all giantkind, rune giants epitomize domination by force, and subject lesser beings to their foul rule via mind- twisting magic and sheer strength. As tyrannically cruel as they are massive, these terrors sport the tusked visage of a demonic mask, skin as black as volcanic glass, and crimson hair that invokes thoughts of both fire and blood. Their ebon skin is covered in dozens of ancient runes, which range in size from inches to feet. These characters of legend are neither tattoos nor scarifications, a rune giant’s markings appear at birth, and serve as the unfiltered manifestations of their unknowable powers over the mind and body. Rare in the extreme, rune giants remain little more than shadowy boogeymen to most other giants, and smaller humanoids scarcely realize they exist at all. Despite what rune giants see as an imperative to exert their dominion over lesser giants and other humanoids, they are seldom seen by others, because of both their relatively small population and their ability to work from behind the scenes to manipulate those around them. Even hunters, rangers, and other wanderers who have journeyed across the frozen peaks of the world swear that nothing so horrible as the fabled rune giants could possibly exist, even though such explorers may have come within mere miles of a rune giant clan’s high and hidden lair. All other giants fear and loathe rune giants, for it is well known among giantkind that they were created to enslave others of their mammoth race, and many giant tribes still bear the scars inflicted upon their peoples during their subjugation by rune giants thousands of years ago. Some giants of lesser intellect, such as ogres and trolls, revere rune giants like dark gods, knowing that under these colossi’s reign they can accomplish great acts of destruction and evil. Others, however, know that to worship such beings is equivalent to slavery, because once a rune giant has made a creature her minion, rare is the day she will grant that pawn any manner of freedom. When rune giants move into an area or are discovered to be nearby, most other giant clans make no attempt at peace, truce, or alliance—they simply leave their own homes and lairs behind and move on. “Easier to reason with an avalanche than make peace with a rune giant, ” goes the ancient frost giant saying.
