Jodunni

The Jodunni are an intelligent race of enormous humanoids native to the world of Thryndaheimr. They are extraordinarily large, being descended from the flesh of their progenitor, the world-giant. In modern times they live in seclusion across Thryndaheimr, unwelcome by the other races, and scavenge or pillage as necessary.

Prehistory
Before the building of the world, there was the world-giant. This impossibly large creature was the product of the clash of the primordial elemental planes, Usparr and Nifrothr, among the other first gods of this new age. From her flesh emerged the jodunni, great beings born in the image of the world-giant, that followed in her footsteps across the primordial void. Eventually, the young gods united and waged a great battle against the world-giant and her lumbering spawn, emerging victorious and slaying her finally. The jodunni were scattered and fled to the far corners of their defeated mother. As the gods fashioned the new world of the world-giant's carcass, the lesser giants hid themselves in the woodlands, coves, caverns, and hollows, where the gods could not find them and they would remain hidden from sight. They would continue to exist in secret for generations, scrounging a life for themselves on the periphery of the world.

Culture
Jodunni culture remains largely primitive and undeveloped when observed from the outside. Orphaned and reviled, they live as refugees that scavenge for survival and steal when given the opportunity to, often from unprotected villages or the herds of unwary shepherds.

Social Structures
Jodunni do not exist in organized settlements of any kind, their size being too conspicuous to hide any amount of them from pursuers. The greatest numbers they will gather in are lone mothers raising their children, often in secret in hidden alcoves away from potential onlookers.
