Alseids are graceful, smaller cousins to the more common centaur. Their lower body is that of a woodland deer and their upper bodies have smaller and far more slender proportions than a centaur's. Male alseids also grow antlers, with the horns branching approximately every 10 years until they've lived for a century. Further branches are possible, but are a deeply spiritual event, one which only occurs rarely and is highly celebrated when it does. Alseids believe it is a blessing from the forest, and thus far no one has a more proven explanation. These horns are never used for combat, and any damage to one is a humiliating error or grave insult.

Currently only a few alseid populations are known, and all exist within deep forests. These populations all have a deeply spiritual connection to their forest, knowing it better than any and able to maneuver it without leaving a single track behind. Most act as defenders of their home, whether guiding lost travellers back out or slaughtering trespassers who cut down a single tree. Each herd shares a similar basis for their rules and traditions with personal variations and exceptions. Meeting one group may give an intruder some understanding of how another will act, but differing rules may result in deadly misunderstandings.

Most alseid communities respect druids and rangers deeply, and their leaders favor such traditions. Often the leader of a larger alseid community will be a prince with 11 or more points to their antlers, representing blessings from the forest to lead. At this point, no alseid with 14 or more points to their horns are known of.

Ferrous Giant

The image above is a miniature made based on the ferrous giant artwork from the Tome of Horrors Complete and was sculpted by Nick Genovese.

Immense, solitary figures seeming forged from living iron, ferrous giants are powerful examples of their kind, edging out storm giants for sheer physical power and toughness on top of a mind that shrugs off mental effects like water off a duck’s back. They can even manipulate metal, causing it to heat or levitate, and their kinship to iron lets them draw it up into a wall once a day.  A ferrous giant’s solitary nature and preference for works of iron as weapons and art is about all we really learn about them.  In some ways that’s a pity – I rather enjoyed Paizo’s Giants Revisited, personally – but it also makes them easy to mold into the shape you need them for your game with a little creativity.

On the world of Hatreumia, ferrous giants are starborn, falling to earth in great stony shards cast off into space long ago. Having dreamed through the endless years of their journeys, the giants remember little of where they came from. Stargazing eclipse giants assign each a name based on arcane astrological formulae, though each of these giants bears an epithet among the small folk.  Aslar is the Reaver of Cities, once by falling and twice in war, though he prefers the arts of poetry to those of war.  Iygawa’s fall was taken as the transference of the Mantle of Heaven in Cedresh, becoming the Sword of Fate, and she is rarely without one of her lunar naga counselors.  Breijan’s fall touched off a firestorm in the holy groves of Ulfana; he has spent seven decades since earning the name Woodfriend planting trees to repair the damage under the supervision of the druids of the of Circle of Lilacoris.

Having conquered half of Uheron, the rune giant warlord Sromziar has paused her march, hesitating to cross into lands in the shadow of the Iron Peak.  Named for the brooding iron fortress at its top, the mountain is home to the ferrous giant Utius, a renowned fighter and duelist among giants, and the rune giant has no wish to invite a feud with someone so mighty (and so completely immune to her ability to control her lesser kin).  For his part, Utius’s studied neutrality has seen him ignoring the Sromziar until and unless she provokes him to battle but he might be convinced by a sufficiently skilled philosopher.  His sense of honor and competitiveness against someone who seeks him out for a duel would compel him to keep an oath as well but many giants have tried and failed to best the iron warrior.

After helping them defeat the Ironfang gnolls, the slag giant Isora has become an ally to a party of adventurers, if sometimes a proud and stubborn one.  Determined to become the apprentice of the ferrous giant Wrungareon, Isora seeks to reassemble the Burning Book, a prized tome of ancient lore of the primeval giants that gave birth to the fire, slag, and ferrous giant races long ago, before the coming of the elves but after the serpentfolk went beneath the earth.  Just finding some of the scattered pages will be difficult.  Some are lost in near-forgotten ruins, three have become the prized possessions of dwarfholds, and one has found a curious new life as the local smith’s anvil.  As they begin to recover the book, other contenders for Wrungareon’s tutelage will take notice, and the ferrous giant himself might seek to claim the lost artifact, requiring his would-be apprentice and her champions to win the right of his instruction by force of arms rather than just by quest.

Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson///Woodfriend Roll those windows down and rewind a couple of years (or four) and jam to this fantastic track by Miles Benjamin Anthony Robinson from his self titled album, released in 2008. It's summer, no matter the year.

Got this record in the mail today. 16-year-old me is freaking out over it, and 21-year-old me is still really freaking excited to own it now. It was a life-changer.
