The pillar of the titans is a location built by the giants to assist their smaller servants in performing tasks that might otherwise overwhelm them. Although few pillars still survive, those that do are fi ercely guarded by drow, lizardfolk, and other humanoid tribes. Many reserve a pillar’s power only for emergencies, because they believe that drawing upon it warns any nearby giants that their might is being stolen.
Those who access this location’s special ability gain the power to increase both their size and strength for a limited period each day. This magical location is usually found among cyclopean ruins or other areas once frequented by the giants and their slaves.
A pillar of the titans is surrounded by a plaza of large paving stones, each bearing giant glyphs of servitude and duty. The pillar itself is 40 feet tall and made of smooth white marble. Crowned by a giant fi st, it rests atop a four-sided base made of the same stone. On each side of the base is an inscription of loyalty to the giant creators of the pillar and an indentation the size of a human hand. Any plants (but not plant creatures) growing within 50 feet of the pillar are significantly larger and more robust than ordinary specimens of their kind.
