Hy-Brasil

The Island of Hy-Brasil is shrouded in mystery and legend. Said to be home to a great nation of powerful warriors and mighty kings not much was known besides this before the cataclysm as the only people to have direct contact with Hy-Brasil were the tribes of Hatar.

The people of Hatar told stories of an island surrounded by mist and home to a strange warrior people who could appear out of and vanish into the mists of the Island at will. They claimed that a giant led the great warriors and was king of Hy-Brasil. --

The truth of Hy-Brasil

The Island of Hy-Brasil is actually populated by a people called the Daoine ar an Réaltaí or People of the Stars. The Daoine came to Hy-Brasil thousands of years ago from mainland to escape war and famine. When they arrived on the island it was inhabited by a race of giants called the Fir'Bolg. The Daoine went to war with giants when they first arrived. When the war ended the Daoine were victorious but they saw the Giants of Hy-Brasil as great warriors and the leader of Daoine offered his daughter to the leader of the giants as a tribute of peace between the two people.

In the two thousand years since the Daoine came to Hy-Brasil the Giants of Hy-Brasil and the Daoine have become one people. The line of their kings holds the most giant blood. The current King is Crom Tuarra.

About the Daoine ar an Réaltaí

The people of the stars are Half-Giants. Crom their king is nearly the size of a full blooded Giant. They live by a code to be one with nature and that all things happen for a reason. They do not worship the gods but rather have an animistic belief system. Each star represents one of the spirits of the natural world. According Daoine tradition it was the the goddess Danu that sent them to Hy-Brasil originally. The Fir'Bolg that joined with the Daoine also worshiped Danu

They believe the cataclysm was caused by the other races need to alter the natural world rather then living with it.

The Daoine are fierce warriors and defenders of their home. The warrior traditions they now have are a combination of the Fir'Bolg and Daoine traditions from before the Daoine came to Hy-Brasil.
