Desmond

Desmond was born into a nomadic herd of goliaths. A bit small for a goliath, Desmond had to resort to perfecting his fighting technique instead of relying on pure brutish strength like his fellow tribesmen his age.

As such, when his herd passed by the monastery of Irori in Sokuv, Desmond took advantage of the opportunity and snuck out to go train with the monks. Unbeknownst to him, he would never find his nomadic tribe again. Using that as motivation for his new ascetic lifestyle, Desmond took heart in the fact that he had to start completely over and recreate his entire life from the ground up.

Desmond trained and trained for years until one night he saw a vision of a stone giant holding the weight of the sky on the top of a mountaintop. He wrapped up his training and departed for the lone mountaintop. After years of traveling, he found the stone giant that he saw in his dream: a creature of immense size and power, bigger than any recorded stone giant in Solum's history. Challenging the giant to single combat, Desmond is said to have done battle with his foe for three days and nights before finally he managed to throw the giant off the top of the mountain and shake the foundation of Thenica with the fall.

After this battle, Desmond earned the title of "The Earthshaker" and many Thenicans now visit the famous crater where the stone giant fell.
