Stone Giant History

Aside of many stories telling us about the brutal deeds of these giants in the days when they and dragons fought for dominion over the known world, the more defining legends about stone giants revolve around 7 legendary structures made of black stone created by the create creatures of stone giant kind nowadays called "The Seven Wonders". This substance is said to be near indestructible, magic disrupting and just to be created and shaped by the stone giants.

The seven wonders/Eternal Seven (From smallest to largest)

1. The Perfect Sphere - The second wonder to ever be created during the days of titans is said to be the most simple of shape imaginable - A sphere the size of a grown stone giant, perfectly smooth without any scratches or dents. It's creator entombed himself in it but other giants could read messages that he had carved into the stone from the inside when they were touching it. This technique was copied by other stone giants to create the concept of "stone scrolls". The spheres resilience was tested when titans attacked. After it proofed to hold it was swallowed out of spite by the word Kraken, before it disappeared in the dark waters. It is said that the inside of this globe is the only documentation of the days of the titans remaining.
2. Gods Crossing - The last wonder created, a bridge crossing and partially damming a river of incredible power. The bridge is said to be over a mile long and several hundred feet wide. This was the place where the war between dragons and giants ended supposedly after Annem and the Ur-Dragon met here to agree on terms. This bridge was to be a symbol for path into the future. This is the last of the wonders that has ever been build.
3. The Flooded Smelter - An Ore Smelter constructed together with the Fire giants to create one of the only substances more powerful then black stone. The smelter was build deep in a cave under a mountain on an island to keep it a secret. The Steel forged from black stone ore became known as adamant. Many giant weapons have been forged and dragons have been slaughtered with them before the ocean itself rose up to drown the giants in their underground smelter - A wave so high that it covered the top of the mountain for 3 days before the water dispersed, killing all giants but one, who swore vengeance. The water collapsed the path after it cooled the adamant in the making, creating an explosion. Shards of processed metal shot through the earth - the only source known today to create new items made of this substance.
4. Storms Eye - A beautiful castle build for their older brothers the storm giants to honor them as their fathers favorites. A building worth the glory the storm giants have earned in the eyes of their father. It is said to tower on an island merely the size of the structure itself unharmed by any storm the storm giants could summon, making it a near impenetrable home to the greatest of giant kind.
5. Fortress Draconum - The strongest overland fortress that was ever build. It served as as the strongest defense against dragon attacks from the cold north during the time when giants and dragons fought for dominion over this world. Century's after this war ended the number of defenders dwindled until a colossal black Dragon ripped it from the control of the remaining giants, using it as it's horde.
6. Throne of Annam - A Tower that was build to reach the heavens in the name of their god - Annam (Pantheon of Gods). Knowing that this would be the ultimate sign of devotion it is said that other giants felt threatened. The Cloud giants saw their domain, "The skies" pierced by this large structure and Storm giants saw their position as their fathers favorites threatened. So it is said these 2 giant kinds began to plot against this structure. The wind pushed against the walls until finally the storm giants depend the sea near by and send a storm that ultimately sank the whole structure into the ocean. Knowing the strength of Blackstone rumors have it that even these measures could not damage the structure itself so it might still exist.
7. The Endless Maze (The first wonder) - The moment Black stone was discovered one Stone Giant started the construction of the largest structure known to this world. He called it "The Endless Maze". A series of tunnels connecting the world, caves granting space for civilizations and secrets to fool any enemy protected by black stone walls. Originally these were meant to be the save space of giant kind but history took a dark turn. The tunnel system turned into a labyrinth and at some point in history all the parts of the Endless Maze disappeared, leaving tunnels and huge caves behind now known as "The underdark". Those knowlagable enough make the connection that Baphomet swindled the great Stone Giant Macon who created this structure into transferring "The Endless Maze" into the abyss creating layer 600, the home of Baphomet, the layer he shares with the Pale Knight, a being worse than every dream. For it to be true it is said that the great Stone giant who started this work is still working on it to this day it is said, unknowing that he is the Abyss.
