Interestingly, the officially adventurers league materials on Hartsvale mention that giant blood has mingled with the blood of men there, so really anyone who is a descendant of anyone in Hartsvale could be the chosen one. From the adventure Forgotten Traditions: "Generation after generation were born, lived, and died in Hartsvale. Giant blood mingled with the human population." I'm playing with this idea in my SKT campaign right now.

I had no idea my request was seen but between the Ettin and this video, my request was fulfilled. Another great video and some lore to give me inspiration for another campaign! I look forward to seeing much more in the future.

Thank you for making this! Perfect timing! I just started a giant-based campaign (Stormlord and Against the Giants) and this is so helpful!

Being very tall myself I loved this video, but not only for the subject, I love how you tell all your videos and the edits with the pictures!

I love hearing about the lore of D&D! I really appreciate hearing more about the giants, I played as a Stone Giant a long time ago and he is still one of my favorite characters I ever played as so learning more of these kind of things help me plan for if I ever want him to resurface in any of my stories. I love these race videos, so when you finish with all the more interesting monsters and races, do you think you'll continue Lore bits or start looking into classes or artifacts like the Deck of Many. I'd love to hear about Displacer Beasts next, I feel like they ironically get overlooked from just how cool they are, but I agree with some other commenters that a Hag video would be nice since I know so little about them having never encountered one in a campaign I've played.

Dude, been binge watching your channel for DAYS NOW. Badass work! Love it all~

Thank you so much for this video! I have been homebrewing my own campaign that revolves around the giants rebuilding their empire. You have given me so much useful information that I did not know I needed!

Dude I LOVE THESE VIDEOS and this series is my single favorite DnD series on KZread. The info you provide is amazing. You have been keeping these to species for the most part, and there are many more to cover, then you also have individuals to cover also. Also history of important cities or kingdoms. This series has been so good so far, and yet has potential for anything you want it to be. I hope you continue it, and grow it until you get over 1 million subs, then continue it some more :) Oh, and maybe a vid about "What they dont tell you about MrRhexx" lol

I just want to say I really love your work and I tune into your videos every time they drop

Yes I want more of this. Don't always have the time to read 4 books so these lore videos really help for a DM.

Definitely want more stories like this, cause the lore and stories can be implemented into any D&D game and drive campaigns and storylines that involve these lores, listening to these while doing other things fuels the creative drive very much love it, thank you for your posts and I do hope you continue I've thoroughly enjoyed them so far.

Oh! I’ve met Hartkiller, or at least a child of him! I remember killing a Rhemoraz to feed him so that he could fight a frost giant jarl.

"story oriented" is good. Its always great to know more about the back story of the D&D universe.

Oh man this one was so good, where was it when I was wrapping up my Storm Kings Thunder game? Haha. I guess I would have had to have this info way before to make it relevant. The good thing about the Giants being somewhat isolated and tribal is everybody has their own creation myth and for the most part can have pieces of it wrong. Good to know the whole story now, thank you for your content!

Just wanted to say thanks! Your videos have given me a huge amount of knowledge and allowed me to craft a massive campaign! One of the arcs deals with your Aboleth video and the Mindflayers: the Aboleth is the beginning of time and the Illithid are the eventual future, so the Aboleth is using them as a strike force to perpetuate his rule and helping the Illithid amass an army. The Underdrak has become the only thing keeping them under control and the races have a loose alliance. I can definitely work a new Giant arc based on this video! Thanks!

My boy Rhexx pushing those videos so constantly, love them my man :D, still don't overstress yourself!

That was a great vid man, didn't think the Giants were as interesting as that!

I absolutely love the history of the giants. Very impressive video! If I could make a request, firbolgs have a ton of secrets and hidden lore about them that Volo's Guide To Monters sadly does not touch on. Since your last two videos have been about giants...maaaaybe we could see some giant-kin in the future?

I listen to yoir videos as a newer DM to get all the back lore on everything in the 5th edition bestiaries. You help so much with creating more detail in my adventures and encounters

Man you've been killing it lately-- these videos do so much to bring deeper color to some monsters and monster families that often go unnoticed-- Bravo! I, for one, would love to see a video tackling goblinoids, and how a goblin-host might function in-world (And yes, I know there's good material in Volo-- don't care, want to see you bring this to life!)

hey i love your videos especially the D&D ones keep posting and making peoples days

They should make a campaign for 5E where for you unfreeze the north by finding that necklace and somehow destroying it

Thank you for this! I always appreciate seeing your videos, and your lore dive helps bring life to the worlds I create.

I just finished watching all your D&D Lore videos (to date). They are so great! Can't wait until you do Yuan-ti.

Great video as always! I would love to see more lore on some other playable races!

I really enjoy your videos! It helps me learn about the world of DnD for my PnP group :D

Easily one of your best videos yet. You're an amazing storyteller.

I really like these story base videos. Something about these videos feels real like I'm listening to a bard or a wise wizard tell the ancient lore of the world. I usually watch this when I go to bed because its also very relaxing to listen to...unless its something horrific like the mindflayers or aboleths.

I watch these videos whenever i'm at work. You're doing Ao's work here.

These big clunky bastards have a magnificent backstory, one of my new favourites

Glad to see a new video! Been missing my D&D lore fix :)

That Tower of Doom art at the end is really rad.

Storm Giants are going to play a big role in the upcoming season 2 of my campaign.

Amazing video always great when my favourite big bois get some love. Does this mean you're going to cover all the individual giants like with the dragons? Would love to see those personally!

With the Ettin video that came out last, I knew this was coming and I couldn't be happier..... my two favorite monster types from D&D have always been giants and dragons, cause they are big, scary, but with their intelligence and lore they make compelling NPCs and enemies. Keep up the good work, and I will continue to spam watch your videos.... (I like to listen to D&D videos while I work on DM stuff.)

To be honest I really enjoy these lore dives and this series in general. It's always inspiring to hear the deep lore and the bones of the world.

This was awesome. Do a video on each of the giant types now, like you did with the dragons

Three dragons disliked this video. I guess some grudges run deep.

I love the Dungeons and Dragons: Shadow over Mystara art at the end, sir! Nice touch.

Dude. You help me soooooo much with my lore. Keep up the good stuff. You're always helping me.

"You killed Ulutiu?" - Othea. "Don't worry, I fixed him and he saved your life." -Annam.

Loving the giant videos. They are really helping reminding me why I love them.

I love these guys!

That patron list has gotten longer and longer. I was gonna be pissed is I didn't get to hear the standard ending of mediogre at best 😂

Yup, great vid. So nerdy I'm going to get some glasses so I can tape the frames over there nose but I really dug the history of the Giants. Thanks

This is great! Would you ever consider doing one on the Yuan-ti someday?

As much as i absolutely loved this video, will there be a video for each Giant, telling us of their culture and other such things in lore? Or is this as far as you're going to explain Giants, for this only really explained the basic lore of Giants in general.
