Firbolg are a half-breed species: the offspring of fey and half-giants—whether it was djinn or goliath who first co-mingled with elves, no one is sure. Regardless, firbolg can have the gentler, graceful tendencies of fey creatures **_and_** the large, impressive build of half-giants.
### Origin & History
Firbolg—unlike djinn and goliath—originated on Yanis. They don't fully fit in with either species category—fey or giants. Over many millennia, firbolg have become more and more reclusive. Today, firbolg are rarely seen in large cities.

### Appearance & Biology
Often, firbolg tend to be very tall. Their build depends on their half-giant lineage. Their ears resemble that of elves more than most other humanoids—long and tapered. They have bright red noses as a distinguishing feature and typically grow more hair on their bodies than that of the other two half-giant humanoids.
Despite being a mixed species, firbolg are only capable of reproducing with other firbolg.
