What is a Cloud Giant in pathfinder 2E?

Cloud Giants

Good cloud giants are often civic-minded builders of roads and settlements, and are interested in trading goods as well as cultural innovations. It’s not uncommon for such giants to approach their neighbors with diplomacy and build strong relationships with other peaceful peoples. Conversely, evil cloud giants are often isolationist and xenophobic. Preferring hidden mountain valleys and settlements in the caves and among the crags of lonely peaks, they raid for what they want and treat other creatures like inconsequential insects. These opposing philosophies can generate a great deal of strife among neighboring cloud giant communities, and the raiders often threaten the trade deals of their peaceful cousins.

Legends persist of floating cities ruled by magically gifted cloud giant queens and kings. While most cloud giants plainly state that such claims are pure fantasy, others are mysteriously tight-lipped or evasive about the matter.

Skybound Sanctuary

A mysterious, floating city has appeared on the horizon, attracting the attention of adventurers and scholars alike. Rumored to be the legendary sanctuary of a cloud giant queen, the city could hold secrets and treasures beyond imagination. The players are recruited by a wealthy patron, who seeks the knowledge and artifacts that the fabled city may contain. As they venture into the sky, they must navigate the political intrigue of cloud giant society and uncover the truth behind the floating city’s sudden appearance.

The Storm King’s Ransom

A powerful storm ravages the countryside, leaving destruction in its wake. Survivors speak of a vengeful cloud giant king who demands a tribute from the local populace, lest his wrathful storms continue. The players are tasked with journeying to the giant’s hidden mountain fortress to negotiate a truce or, if necessary, confront the angry monarch and put an end to his tyranny.
