Though the fearsome Herd of Storms was broken at

Westruun during the Chroma Crisis, most of the goli-

aths that made up the herd still roam across the Dividing

Plains. Many joined with the Rivermaw Tribe, a vast,

nomadic community of goliaths, humans, and other

free folk of the plains. What few stormborn remain

are now part of the Rivermaw. The next generation of

gOliath Bra Wler

Some prideful goliaths are so assured in their own

strength that they refuse to use weapons. Most goliaths

learn how to fist-fight from a young age, but goliath

brawlers go so far as to eschew weapons even on the bat-

tlefield. Goliath brawlers loyal to the Rivermaw Tribe

usually lead the charge on the battlefield, using their

exceptional speed and brute strength to throw the enemy

vanguard into chaos.

Beyond the Dividing Plains, goliath brawlers can be

found within criminal organizations as muscle, in under-

ground fighting rings, and as personal bodyguards. In

Emon, the most famous goliath brawlers have made a

name for themselves within the Godsbrawl Ring, repre-

senting the Stormlord in the annual holy tournament.

“Well and damn me if I don’t tell you the secret to
real joy in this League, me lad: Find yoursel’ a fight
with one o’ them goliaths what favor fisticuffs. Dead
silent, like boulders brought to life—none of the
roaring and grunting of other fighters. Quiet enough
to hear the crunchin’ when them fists the size o’ hams
slam into their opponent. Nothing gets a crowd
cheering and bettin’ quite like that does, I tell you!”

  League, to his apprentice
