1. Do Giants count as monsters and a national race?2. Must lakes drain into the ocean (specifically when taking into account aqueducts)?

1: No they're not monsters. But for scale, you're looking at say, Jack the Giant Slayer giants, not the 10ft tall variety.

2: Depends on how I put the map together. *Shrugs* :p

Awwww darn.Unrelated question, can ships with flying runes be in the water or are they always in the air?

They can sail in the waters well enough. The Captains of such ships know how to use the control runes for their flight.
