Garvolgs

Garvolgs are a race of giants. They consider humans to be their greatest enemies, and humans consider them to be the sourge of the world in return. Garvolgs are about 4 meters tall on average, and weigh about 2,600 kg. Some of the larger ones are up to 5 meters tall, and weigh about 4,500 kg. Most garvolgs have somewhat limited intelligence (much to the relief of humans), though occasionally one is born with human level intelligence. They live in tribes of 250-450 members. They tend build simple walls around their camps by stacking boulders. Garvolgs don't know how to make their own weapons (apart from basic wooden spears, bows, and arrows), so they capture human blacksmiths when they raid a town or village. These blacksmiths are then forced to forge massive swords, axes, shields, and armour for them. Some these swords can be 2 meters long and weigh 300 kg. A fully armoured Garvolg with a sword and shield is incredibly dangerous, and just a few can destroy an entire town.

Salog
Salog was the infamous leader of a tribe of Garvolgs that were largely responsible for the fall of Alojo. Salog was an extremely rare kind of Garvlog, in that he was slightly over 5 meters tall and had above human intelligence. His tribe was also one the largest ever known at 650+ members. When plague struck Alojo, he ordered his tribe to venture into Alojo and attack every settlement they came across. Salog's tribe devastated hundreds of towns and villages, destroying farms and anything else they could get their hands on. Near the end of the campaign, Salog did something that no Garvolg had done in living memory. He attacked Dolo, a large, well defended, stone walled city. He used a huge iron ram that weighed almost 18,000 kg to smash through the cities gates while others used wide iron plates to provide cover from the arrows, rocks, and boiling water that was being hurled at them from above. After breaking through the gates, Salog's tribe had no difficulty slaughtering the city's garrison, and most of the civilian population as well. By the time Alojo had been destroyed Salog had lost about 250 of his tribe members, but had gained the complete respect of all Garvolgs who heard of him and secured himself a place in history.
