Spiritual & Religious Practices
Religion exists in giant society, though not in many tribes. Most sets of beliefs appear to belong to one tribe only.

Nowg’s tribe believe in and worship a giant of fire, who supposedly blessed the first giants with fire to keep warm, so as to survive Narork’s harsh climate. They pay respects and honour their god by igniting huge bonfires once every year and by walking through fire as children, to burn away any doubt towards their gods existence.

Maro’s tribe widened their mouths by cutting their cheeks to appease their god, a smiling giant. They only show their mouths to fellow tribe members.

Diet
Dwarf Giant's will eat whatever they can find. Their most common sources of food are the large animals in their lands. These animals include Bears, Wolves, Ground Sloths, Bison, etc. They will also eat wild berries, plants, grasses, roots, nuts, edible fungi and if necessary, smaller animals such as rabbits and shrews.

Marriage
Marriage amongst giants is said to exist, but no practices or rituals have ever been documented or seen by humans.

Clothing
The clothes of the giants are primitive, consisting of animal skins and furs.

Military
Giants by nature are pacifists and as such do not possess standing armies. However, in the dangerous environment they live in, knowing how to fight is essential. All able bodied individuals are expected to take up arms in necessary, regardless of gender or age.

Weapons are very primitive, being made of little more than stone, wood and horn. Spears and clubs are the must common weapons. Some giants will even use large pieces of stone and dead trees as weapons. As far as giants are concerned, one must be willing to fight with anything.

Some southern tribes possess more advanced weapons such as bows, crossbows and flails, though they are generally made out of the same basic materials. These weapons exist largely due to the mapping parties of Mykael who came to the area over a thousand years ago, bringing with them their tools and weapons.

Armour is quite uncommon, though some tribes wear wooden plates strapped to their backs and chests.
