Corwin says:-
Who would think that mountain giants have such skill with words.

Shmonk says:-
We also did not know that big lumbering brutes could speak in such complete sentences. This has caused a stir in the council, a few will research how this is possible.

Many, many moons ago, a man was captured daring to cross our lands. He was made a slave but allowed to keep a peculiar device which made sweet noises and soothed many giants. He was made to play in the great hall and time passed.

Then one day at a huge clan gathering in the great hall, the bard as we came to know him started singing in our own giant tongue, well playing his harp. He sang of a great warrior called, Beowulf, the giants of Nielfelheim fell under his spell.

In time he was made free but choose to stay among us and taught us many new things. One of which was when muscle, sinew and the Jotun longsword failed, silvery words could succeed. So the giants of Nielfelheim have a new tool, words of silver to capture the minds of nations...
