History

Anakim was one of the first giants to achieve godhood. His parents abandoned him at an early age, forcing him to wander the streets, a childhood of poverty. He dug his way out of the slums and became an advisor to the king. His rise to power came when the reigning king died and he claimed his seat by imprisoning all of his heirs. His thirst for knowledge drove him to spend the kings fortune and conquered dozens of kingdoms until he acquire enough knowledge to allow him to ascend to godhood.

Anakim forever searches for new knowledge and rewards those who search as well. He views knowledge as neither good nor bad but views evil as a pathway away from enlightenment. He is often portrayed as a large giant wearing scholarly robes reading a scroll with a dagger as his side.

Commandments

• Create, inspire, and find beauty in all that you do.
• Follow the echoes of lost magics, forgotten sites, and ancient art, for within these lie the Anakim’s first works.
• Uphold and teach the importance of reason, perception, and truth in guiding one’s emotions and path.
• Condemn those who lie, even among your allies, for evil folk gain power when their followers obscure the truth. Never stoop to the level of liars.
