Kothar was settled comfortably in the curve of a small branch of one of the large trees nearer to the giant's village.
While he couldn't see completely into the village due to the palisade, the giants' left the gates of the palisade open, clearly not expecting any threats.
But then, why the palisade? Kothar mused as he watched the giants go about their daily routines, not so different from a tribe of primitive humans.
They varied in size and shape, with smaller giants who lacked the covering of moss and foliage that the older ones had, and frolicked and ran all about the camp.
They varied also in the type of rock that they appeared to be made of, with some even having striking veins of ore that were striped across their bodies.
However, unlike primitive humans, the giants didn't seem to hunt for food, rather they all gathered wild growing roots and fruits and brought them back to their encampment, to share with the children and elderly of the camp.
