Ancestry: Cyclops


The Cyclopes are rural giantfolk that live by the skill of their own two hands. They herd animals, craft their own tools, and build their own houses. Despite being somewhat isolated from most societies, it is said they were once contracted to forge weapons for deities. However, the cyclopes today are hardly religious, commonly choosing the simple life.


Cyclopes appear as tall humanoids with one large eye centered above their nose instead of two eyes.
