    In almost every culture there exists tales of war and glory with races of giants. The matter that was of greater interest to Jupiter, is that they all seemed to converge on this one particular moment in history. Of all the ages he’d seen, never had he known the battles to be as fierce as those currently being waged by the northern tribes. For without the hardened tribes, the realm of Britannia would surely fall to the onslaught of the titanic armies.

    There was one thing above all others that helped keep the warriors of the northern tribe alive – one must be able to move fast enough to avoid being crushed under a giant’s foot. While most cultures of war found glory in death on the battlefield, for the northerners it was considered worse than a rear stain to be squashed by a giant’s foot.

    ============================================================

    “Heroes of hope, I have gathered you at the tower of Paws for a vital mission,” the timbre in Jupiter’s voice was resolute, “for some time now there is but one reason that our lands have not quaked with the steps of giants. The tribes in the frozen countries of Kos Heb have long held back the countless attempts of the titans’ forces to cross the ocean and break through the frozen gates.”

    He looked over the group and could see the look of concern growing, “Do not worry, you have not been enlisted in the giant wars, but they are in dire need of a fresh supply of horses! They sent word to Paws to implore immediate aid. It seems this winter has been particularly hard even on the orcs who have been sallying out of the mountains and slaughtered their horses.”

    The group decided upon the Minoc pass to reach the lost lands. From there they would charter a ship in Papua and deliver the horses! That is, if they made it past the hordes of orcs between Paws and the Giant wars.
