Ibon

The Ibon are a minor race in the Dungeons & Dragons setting of Arcanis. They are the Half-Giant descendants of a peculiar race of giants called the Ngajol, whose culture revolves around the concept of "survival of the fittest". To this end, they wage frequent and bloody wars for the sheer sake of proving their ongoing ascension towards physical perfection; whilst these "wars of superiority" are sometimes launched against their very confused neighbors, most of them are fought amongst the different ngajol clans. A clan that loses in a war of superiority faces a dark fate indeed: the worthiest males of a defeated clan are adopted into the ranks of their conquerors, with the rest being ritually sacrified. The women, meanwhile, are unwillingly crossbred with other races, predominantly humans. From such couplings are born the ibon - the ngajol word for "degenerate".

These Half-Giants resemble enormous (7 1/2 to 8ft tall, 270-350 pound) blonde humans, so large they can wield two-handed weapons with ease (assuming they aren't too long; it's hard to compensate for something that requires two hands from sheer length no matter how big and strong you are), and are used as expendable slave-soldiers in the constant internecine battles of the ngajol. Their masters treat them quite cruelly, and the vast majority of ibon are atheists; in their homeland, the ngajol are the closest things to gods, and they are cruel deities indeed. Unlike the half-giants of other worlds, ibon are formidably intelligent, and so there is a slow, steady stream of escapees from the ngajol territorities to the lands of the smaller races, predominantly the blighted wastes of the Blessed Lands. Here they find ready work as adventurers, mercenaries and gladiators.
