Campaign Design - Bloodlines: Storm Giant

Storm Giant
(adapted from Unearthed Arcana)

of all the giant bloodlines, the storm giant bloodline is the most prominent, in large part because several of the Great Houses of the Rhadynnic Sky Empire claimed descent from these powerful being, including the now lost House Llud of the High Kings of Prydain. Due to political marriages, there are now many dynasties that can credibly claim to have storm giant forebears, and even those who do not often say that they do. For their part, storm giants seem somewhat embarrassed that they have become a sign of nobility among so many of the smaller folk, and have become quite circumspect in their dealings with outsiders in recent years.

The progeny of storm giants frequently have a greenish tint to their skin, and rarely a violet tinge instead. Those who tend towards green coloring often have dark green or black hair and deep green eyes. Those who tend towards the violent end of the spectrum, which includes the members of House Gilfæþwy, and used to include the members of House Llud before they were all killed in the whelming of Prydain, have hair that runs towards deep violent and silver or purple eyes.
