Overview

Profile

Giganta is goddess of the Giants. Some stories say that in the early days of the The Universe, she shaped the giants out of the Astral Plane's mana, that she might have creatures to aid her in her quest to master magic. Other stories say that the Astral Plane itself first produced the giants, and from the giants' will, Giganta was born.

Regardless of their origins, Giganta with the help of the giants has become the greatest rune smith of all time, crafting the universe's most powerful magic items. She is a steady goddess and disciplined craftswoman in a realm of crackling potential.
