[@Muttonhawk] I just remembered about the White Giants. I feel that they've been almost forgotten (and a lot of them are probably gone by now) but I just had an idea for a way to bring them back into relevance. Given that a few are probably still around, is it reasonable that someone of sufficient time and intellect could dismantle White Giants and then decipher the magical calligraphy that Toun put on them? Would learning those runes enable one to use their power to enchant or modify things?
