Goliath

The Goliaths are the youngest race on Coronia, in fact, they are the only race whose origin is well-known and whose place in society is yet to be found.

History
Three generations ago, the city of Thursk, one of the few Dwarven settlements open to the surface was sacked by a rampaging band of Giants. Of it's two thousand residents fewer than 100 survived, all of them were women, and all of them were pregnant. The Great Gestation as it came to be known lasted for over a year and a half, well beyond the 13 months usual for Dwarves and the children born were bigger than that of human babies. Over the next twenty years these children grew to be taller than their camps would allow and strong enough that, should they revolt, any defense would be untenable. This new generation were named Goliaths by the settlers.

By the time the first generation of Goliaths had reached maturity and had started considering families of their own the terrified survivors of Thursk and the Goliaths defacto leader, Bronn Stronghand, came to an arrrangement. The Goliaths would leave the settlement and find their own civilization elsewhere. Their first city, known as Bronnsholm, was founded 2,478 years ago and sits atop the highest peak of the Giant's Teeth Mountains. Since then the Goliaths who have wandered from their home city have found places to call their home throughout the land and though they rarely choose to live in major cities, they have become a vital part of the economy.
