The Giant Lands
In the ancient lore of our people it is known that the Giant Lands, stretching from Shark Pass at 80 degrees to the cliffs of the Grakish Coast at 130 degrees, are the crown atop the Cirle of the World and at the same time they are a mirror of the world. Just as the Inner Circle is protected by the ring of mountains so the Valley of Riches at the center of the Giant Lands is also protected by a ring of mountains. The Giant Lands lack for no resource available in other lands. The Mines near Tiger city once held the same renown as the Goblin Mines and the River and Streams and forests of the Sea-Facing Mountains hold natural beauty that equals that found in the Hunter's Chain and the Petty Kingdoms.
Before the Grakish Coast became infected with the horror of the Shape-Shifters its ports could rival the White City and the Isle of Seven Stars and The Cove near Red Fern City for trade. Much has been destroyed in the Giant Wars and much of our Knowledge has been lost, but it is my hope that we may herein recover some of it and use that guidance to rebuild our Lands once again in the image of the Great Giant Lands of the past.
The fate of our people changed the day Dakarai convinced an elder, a warrrior, and a trust-keeper from each tribe to meet under one roof. It was at this meeting that, after seventy five years of warfare, our people decided to request a Traveler Ban on our own lands. Tired of the Sorcery and meddling that was being brought in to our lands, sometimes under the guise of well-meant charity, we decided that we needed to cut oursleves off for a time in order to solve our conflicts.
Let it be known that although it meant splitting up his family Dakarai supported the decision and carried it to the Traveler Circle. Let it be known that while the rest of the world looked down upon our people it was the Travelers who respected our decision and worked hard to impose the ban on every single land in the Circle of the World.
On this day the Great Council of our people, which was begun by Dakarai twenty seven years ago, has finally resolved all the conflicts between the tribes by uncovering their origins and bringing justice to those that remain. Today it was declared that no Giant shall ever kill another Giant, no matter the justification. Any future problems will henceforth be resolved by the Great Council.
This is not to say the Giant Wars are over. Sorcerers still wreak havoc in our lands. But we now stand united against them. For the first time I see hope.
Fujo has finally allowed me to write in this record, perhaps because he is worried what all these changes will bring, or losing hope because of the recent devastating deaths in his hometown. Today the Great Council decided to enlist the aid of Traveler Katsuo and Traveler Iro IronGlove against the sorcerers that still roam our lands.
Traveler Katsuo and Traveler Iro have arrived. They brought Dakarai sad news that his son, Traveler Dalmar, and Dalmar's Wife, Storyteller-Traveler Nyarai of Coal Mine village died defending a little known city called Dalaiabeth in the Petty Kingdoms. The fate of their young son Acklavion is unknown.
