Two guilds to explore
Two guilds that suit this race’s attributes. Their skills and abilities develop as you train.
Firbolg fighter
Army of Vaerlon
Train with weapons, armour and battle manoeuvres. Army fighters can grow into forceful attackers or defenders who hold the line.
Firbolgs are powerful, giant creatures. They look pretty much like humans, but they are almost three and a half meters tall when adult. They like to wear their beards and hair long, thick and untrimmed.
Firbolgs live in caves or villages they build out of stone. They like to take their time and think things through, which hastier races sometimes mistake for lack of intelligence. In fact, firbolgs know a surprising amount of things about the world, which they share only with those who prove themselves trustworthy. Some firbolgs even have some skill in magic, albeit not great.
