Warhammer Estalia concept art: Mercenary giant

Most giant mercenaries are first recruited when they descend from their mountain homes and begin to roam civilized lands. After all, it's better to have a useful soldier than to have a thirty-foot-tall guy running around the field eating sheep herds and causing trouble. Not all giants are evil beings and some of them even retain the peaceful character of their ancestors, the Titans Sky Titans. Unfortunately they are very short-headed and often very hungry, two things that, when united in the body of a giant, do not help keep the peace.
There have been cases of Estalian towns or cities adopting giants as defenders or pets. Giants who make their living as warriors tend to be smarter than others, often possessing bits and pieces of gear from all over the world. Giants are an abundant race in the Irrana and Abasco mountains, and many Estalian commanders consider convincing one of these formidable warriors to join their ranks in exchange for copious amounts of food and alcohol.
