Tempus the Storm Bear, the legendary first High King of the Goliaths, is a towering figure in Goliath history and folklore. Known for his immense size and mastery over lightning, he is revered as a champion and protector of his people. Tempus's story begins with his leadership during the great war against the remaining Giants of the North.
Assembling the seven great Goliath clans in the formidable fortress of Soria, Tempus challenged and defeated each chieftain in honorable combat, unifying the clans under his banner. With his army united, he led the Goliaths in a fierce battle against the Hariq Kingdom in what became known as the 2nd Northern war. Tempus's strategic brilliance, unmatched strength, and ability to harness lightning to his will proved the greatest challenge yet to the Sunkings armies.
After his passing, legends and sagas tell of Tempus ascending to a higher plane, where he became the leader of the Goliath Ancestors. Some scholars and believers still maintain that Tempus watches over his people from this elevated position, protecting them from any threats, whether they be giants, outsider influence or even the gods themselves. His legacy as the breaker of The Ordning and the defender of the Goliath people lives on, inspiring generations of Goliaths to embrace their strength and honor.
