As Wolfpack continues the long, long development cycle for their upcoming MMORPG Shadowbane, they also continues to update the official Shadobane site with more information that serves to 'flesh out' the story and overall world of this title.

Recently added to the races of Shadowbane are the Half-Giants. Just as their name suggests, they are a human-like race that has grown to huge size, wielding enormous physical power. Their true origins are unknown and can only be speculated upon, as this clip from their lore suggets:

What else do I know about Half Giants? Well… er, good of you to ask. While many Half Giant names are remembered and celebrated, there is still little lore about the race as a whole. Some scholars tend to group Half Giants with Shades and Aelfborn, the so-called “lesser branches” of Humanity. Now now, my good lord, no need to rise! It’s their opinion, not mine. And quite obviously false, too – one glance at a Half Giant clearly shows that they’re clearly not “lesser” branches of anything. As to why some men are born so great of frame and strength, I’ve heard a few different reasons. Each tells an interesting story in itself.

For those interested in checking out either of the above, be sure to give the Shadowbane site a whirl. This title is currently scheduled to be released sometime early next year.
