Description
"Throughout the valley lingered the signs of a more advanced past. Immense statues and figures could be seen jutting out from the greens, mythical and mighty in their appearance, and the buildings around them constructed of a sturdy stone that seemed far beyond the skill of the current inhabitants. And all of these were laid out with a precision that spoke of careful planning. Even now mere ruins, they still emanated unsurpassable splendor.
Barliman had always been the inquisitive type. Whereas most village folks were content to accept things as they appeared to be, Barliman sought to delve deeper, often questioning why and how their age came to be the way it was.
He knew enough to understand the past was different, that his village had a long and storied history, but much of it had been lost to the mists of time. His parents had told him that these great ruins were the works of giants, who in their arrogance were punished by the Gods and their cities destroyed as a result. Still, Barliman couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the legacy of those who had come before. He longed to delve deeper into the secrets of this mysterious past, to uncover the wisdom and knowledge that lay hidden within the ruins of the once-great civilization of the giants."
