Ecology
Storm giants inhabit the highest cloud-island fortresses, the deepest underwater abysses, and remote storm-haunted peaks. They are the largest, oldest, and most reclusive of giant kind, lairing in palaces accessible only through extreme weather. They feed sparingly on whales, sea-elves, and rare cloud-fruit, but require less sustenance than their size suggests. Their territories generate weather; storms cluster near their homes, and generations of mortal sailors learn to read storm patterns as territorial maps.
Behaviour
Storm giants are contemplative, prophetic, and deeply melancholic. They view themselves as the true rulers of giant kind and consider the chaos of their lesser cousins shameful. They keep meticulous records of omens, divinations, and weather patterns, treating prophecy as both science and art. They form bonds with mortal seers and oracle-cults, dispensing wisdom rarely but profoundly. They rarely fight unless prophecy demands it, and when they do, they fight with the gravity of a foretold doom.
Origin
Storm giant children are rare, born once per century to a mated pair, and raised in cloud-island fortresses for decades before descending to the world. They are taught prophecy, divination, and the giant ordning from infancy, considering themselves nobles even before they can walk. By adulthood, a storm giant has typically completed the ordning rite and earned a place among the storm-courts. They mate for life, mourn extravagantly, and rarely remarry.
