As Silvanus stepped back and admired aer work, ae smiled as aer children, bestowed with the gift of thought, set about forming families and groupings, differentiated by nothing more than name. However, aer children given other gifts had no similar structure. So once more did Silvanus breathe life into forests, seas, and mountains, and from these elements were born us firbolg. And ae gave us our divine purpose: to provide family to those creatures without, and to provide name to those unnamed.
-Traditional Firbolg legend
The firbolg are an ancient race who consider themselves protectors of the creatures of the world. As the ones who gave names to all the creatures, they traditionally do not give themselves name, instead adopting names given to them by others.
There are three subraces of firbolg, protectors and shepherds of creatures in three different environments: Firadhmad, Firbhalaosc, and Firsliabh.
