[center][h3][color=brown]Bigher, God of the Earth and Strength, King of the Giants[/color][/h3][/center]

[center][b]Indirect or Direct[/b]
He indirectly influences his people granting them power over the earth itself and the ability to create golems. 

[b]Appearance[/b]
Bigher often takes the form of a mountain, one the reaches into the clouds themselves. The peak covered in snow representing his beard, which is pure white. In certain situations however, especially in the presence of other gods, he appears in his true form, a massive giant so large that he stands above the clouds in tough leather armor, a long white beard that reaches to his belt buckle, carrying an Axe named “Sigmire”.

[b]Personality[/b]
Bigher cares only for the strongest of individuals or those who wish to get stronger. Often times he finds himself fighting others, especially gods whom he sees as a worthy challenge. So obsessed with these challenges he often times will go out of his way to handicap himself just to make them more enjoyable.[/center]

[u]Giants[/u]
Giants stand anywhere from 10-15ft and have immense strength in comparison to the average human (the average giant can lift around 1,000 to 2,000 lbs.) and with skin as thick as leather armor. They have limited magical ability, able to create earth golems and manipulate the earth to create boulders and various other objects. Most giants can live to up to 800 years, but only have around 2-3 children during their lifetime. With their immense size however giants are not very agile and in combat take immense beatings being easy to hit targets.

[u]Humans[/u]
Making up the majority of the population of Stio Clal are humans who have the ability to manipulate the earth into various forms and shapes, but other than that have no special strengths or weaknesses.

[u]Golems[/u]
Golems are strong hardy human-like beasts made of the earth itself and stand around 8ft tall, but are as strong as giants. They however have no sense of intelligence, and if they stray too far (about 20ft) from the overseer (the person who controls them) or when their overseer is killed they are rendered immovable. They are incapable of being used as weapons of war, so they are just used in heavily labor tasks.

[b]Government description[/b]
The Stone City is an absolute monarchy ruled by the strongest warrior, chosen strictly based off their strength in combat alone. If the current monarch were to die a competition would be held for any and all to enter, whether they are from Stio Clal does not matter. The only other way to dethrone the monarch is to challenge them to a fight to the death. The strongest emerging as the new king.

Though there are no regulations forcing them, often times kings will hold tournaments immediately after inauguration. These are often to decide new advisors, generals, or various other positions within government to help run the stone city.

[b]Military[/b]
While the Golems work the field, the humans and giants are trained for war. Experts on the mountainous terrain the surrounds the city the men of Stio Clal are experts on defensive warfare. The human side of the force consists of nearly 70,000 warriors often carrying large body length shields, and two blades, a short sword and a small dagger. They carry heavy metal armor, making the effective in defensive situations. About 20,000 of those human warriors man the wall with throwing javelins as bows and arrows are seen as a weak man’s weapon.

The remaining army consists of around 20,000 giants, considered the strongest part of the Stio Clal army. These warriors carry anywhere between two handed great swords and small wooden shields and hand axes. Due to resource limitations they wear crude leather armor instead of steel like the majority of Stio Clals army. Thanks to the cultural values of strong leaders in Stio Clal most generals are often times Giants.  

[b]Culture[/b]
Stio Clal is truly a bastion to the idea of “survival of the fittest”, a land where your wealth and family matter little in comparison to personal strength and combat prowess. Though merchants and family ties can get you luxuries and homes, political influence and respect only comes from strength. The people of Stio Clal find that because of these laws and regulations the giants rule the land. There have only been two human kings in Stio Clal out of the thirty-eight that have been king.

Though humans hold little influence in the government of Stio Clal they still enjoy many luxuries due to golem workers, especially women, children, and the elderly. Since most men are trained to be warriors, many women are tasked as overseers and help build the grand walls of the city, repair broken down buildings, cultivate fields, and mine resources. This leads to a sense of respect for the women in Stio Clal that other cultures often times would see a lack of.

At the age of thirteen humans begin their training as warriors for Stio Clal, often times suffering through dangerous situations like combat with wolves and other beasts, sometimes even other men. When they turn sixteen they are enlisted into Stio Clals army until the age of thirty where they are free to live their lives as they wish, even if it means remaining in the army.

Giants from the age of fifty onwards begin training to become warriors of Stio Clal, but begin a much longer process of training, often taking the next thirty years of their life. Once eighty years old they are to serve until six hundred. Unlike humans, Giants who are men are expected to be warriors, often times giants seen doing anything else, but fight are shunned.   

[b]Other[/b]
Stio Clal is an extremely mountainous region surrounded by eight walls. Each wall leading further out of the territory and encompassing more land.[/center]
