Kelemvari

A race of giants found mostly on the continent of Eadun.

Description
The Kelemvari appear as gigantic baseline humans. Females range between ten and twelve feet tall and weigh around 750 to 1400 pounds. Males usually range between twelve and fourteen feet tall and generally weigh between 1300 and 2200 pounds.

Sexual maturity is reached, in females, by the age of fifteen. Males develop much more slowly, and usually do not enter puberty until around the age of twenty. There is no adolescence, per se. Once puberty is reached, they are considered adults and can marry. Their average lifespan is about 350 years, with some individuals living into their fifth century as their's is generally a life of ease.

The Kelemvari are a merchant folk. They enjoy the good life and a premium is placed on a shrewd mind and a good trade.Unlike their gigantic kin among the Gholi and their forbears, the Arimori, there is often a good deal of social equality between the sexes. Children play an important role in their families, as they are raised to succeed in the family business.

History
700 years ago, there were two groups of giants living in Eadun. These were the feral giants from the Northern Wastes and the civilized giants of Arimor. After the fall of Arimor and the closing of the Fangsbierne Portal,  those Arimori who were left behind in Eadun began to rally to the call of the great wizard, Kelemvar. Under his leadership, the expat Arimori were able to stave off reversion and maintained their identity as a people. Now a race of merchants and mercenaries, the Kelemvari, as they have come to be known, fervently await a day in which they can return to their ancestral homeland.
