From www.istaria.com :
"The Half-Giants of Istaria are distant relatives of the Humans, should conventional legend be considered as truth. Legend tells of the genesis of the Half-Giants during the end of the Age of the Gods, when Humans began settling the frigid, mountainous regions of Northern Aradoth. In order to survive the harsh winters in the mountains, only the heartiest of stock would survive. Over time, the Humans were no longer Human, but much larger and much more physically robust. While it is entirely possible that the Half-Giants might trace their heredity through the legendary race of beings known as Giants, it is also possible that they simply are the product of their solitary environment.
This kind of solitary life is reflected in their dealings with others; throughout most of recorded history, Half-Giant civilization kept to itself. Half-Giant society stresses the judicious use of their tremendous physical powers, especially in regards to other races; this, coupled with their relative safe distance from the besieging of Aradoth by the Withered Aegis, has given the Half-Giants a pivotal role in the politics of the Living Races today. They very much represent a vast, untapped power that a unified Istaria might draw from to put down the rise of the Withered Aegis.
Physically, Half-Giants resemble large Humans. The typical Half-Giant can stand half again as tall as the standard height of a Human, and half again as broad. The physical prowess of a Half-Giant is nearly unmatched amongst all the Living Races in Istaria. A Half-Giant?s fair skin is thicker and more resilient than most of the other Living Races, as they are well-acclimated against the harsh climate of the winters of Northern Aradoth. Needless to say, the role of a Warrior is well suited to the likes of the standard Half-Giant. Half-Giants on average tend to focus more on physical endeavors rather than pure mental pursuits, but this does not mean that Half-Giant society is without noted arcanists and scholars. Half-Giants are creatures of reason, patience, and focus; they seldom raise their dander, but when they do anger, they are quite formidable opponents. Consequently, they prefer the role of Healer over other arcane paths."
