Krushnak

Krushnak, posthumously known as Lord Krushnak the Wise, was a Giant of The Hills. He was a legendarily intelligent giant.

Early Life
Giants were normally a rather wit-less race, but Krushnak was an exception, and got bored with his life.

While not as smart as a normal human, he was unique, and was the first giant to explore the ancient Dragonborn fortress located in The Hills. Within it, he found an Amulet of Knowledge which made him a gifted scholar.

Giant Reformation
After traveling the known worlds, Kru returned back to The Hills with a mission. He wanted to remove the Giant stereotype of dim-witted hulks. To do this, Krushnak gathered the smartest, and the strongest giants, and established noble "families". He selectively bred the Giants over 250 years of his life, forcing his selected targets to seek his approval to mate. As time went on they became more adjusted to this, and it became a tradition to ask the clan elder to wed.

As time passed, the Giants started to get smarter, and started serving in mercenary companies both as hulking warriors, and esteemed commanders.

Before long, Fafner was born, and he would use his selectively bred intelligence and his kinsmen's ties to unite The Greylands into a kingdom.

Krushnak served as King Fafner's adviser for many years, passing only a few before Fafner himself, thus concluding his unnaturally long life.
