1. (Race of Men) Ettins are race of men from the north, where they are called Iotarnír. Notable for growing throughout their lives-- that is, growing larger and larger-- there is a direct relationship between an Ettin and his or her size, age, and strength. Stronger Ettins grow larger, and the largest Ettins are very strong and very old, nearing the size of Giants. They are a loud, proud, and social race, with a tenacity for adventure and an endless appetite.
The average Ettin usually stands a couple heads or more taller than the typical man from other races. Ettin culture is similar to, and closely tied to Norroenír culture, sharing much of their mythology and deities. It is uncommon for interbreeding between Ettins and other races to produce offspring, but it has been known to occur rarely. Ettins tend to be very expressive- and though typically very personable can sometimes be quite short tempered as well.
