Note: This race may only be selected by spending a Greater Award!

Description
|
Descendants of frost giants are very practical people and do not let emotions control their judgments. They are also pragmatic and make decisions that are optimal for the survival of their clan. These half-giants have skin and hair colors that range a broad spectrum of blue and white shades, though some are known to have dirty yellow hair. Likewise, their eyes are generally shades of blue or yellow. Men often grew beards, which would become matted with frost and icicles.
Warning
This Half-Giant is a member of the Half-Giant race on Arelith and although they fall under the Giant racial categorization in game, they MUST not be roleplayed as a Giant.
Irongron - Sun 24 Jul, 2022: And a reminder - don't RP as a full giant. I was cautious about adding these races not for power, but frequency and RP, I don't want to be required gate or remove the reward so soon.
