Gaulmar

The Gaulmar were a race of tall, magically gifted giants and variant of Earthkin that lorded over one of the most influential civilizations on Galimma, the Gaulmar Empire. Standing well above the majority of Galimma's sapient races and possessing incredible affinity for magic, the Gaulmar were unmatched by the other peoples of Galimma until a deadly plague swept across their empire and brought it crumbling down.

Appearance and Biology
Gaulmar are one of the larger intelligent races on Galimma, reaching heights on average of 2.5 to 4 meters tall at adulthood, though the exceptional among them have been known to grow up to 6 meters tall. Gaulmar are heavyset, much like their Earthkin relatives, but appear more lithe and humanoid in appearance compared to Mulls. Gaulmar also possess the signature rocky and fleshy skin of the Earthkin family of races, granting them a respectable amount of physical durability.

Origin
The Gaulmar, like most Earthkin, claim descent from the living ground of Galimma. In their own traditions, the Gaulmar were created through the demise of a towering giant,

Rule by Strength
Since before the time of even the Empire, the Gaulmar have valued individual strength and power above all else. They were ruled by their mightiest, and this was determined by frequent inter-tribe conflict and violence. The will of the mighty was just, because they above all else had the ability to enforce it and see it through. Those under them obeyed the word of the chief, and the disobedient would be punished and turned into reminders for all other would-be insubordinates.
