The Jotuns are a race of giants, ogres, trolls, demons or mere myth, depending on whom you ask. They purportedly dwell in the coldest mountain regions, able to survive the coldest winters and stride through the deepest snowdrifts. The Dwur myths say that the Jotuns were born of a block of frost and ruled an empire of ice called Jotunheim in the northernmost, arctic mountains. There were thought to be two general types of giant: the frost-giants, who symbolized the severe winters of the area, and the hill-giants, who symbolized the mountains.
Some believe that the frost-giants are the forefathers of the Kith, and the Avathars used hill-giants to breed the first Avaggdu.
