Another world. Another universe. Another time Where magic existed, where great beasts stalked the Earth. Where humans fought to dominate all.
Topal's capital city, Lombardo city.
The Giants arena was busy, even for this time of year. But it was not because of a gladiatorial fight nor an elven circus. It was a war meeting. The arena was packed full of Topal soldiers and their superiors, waiting for their king to speak. The ruling classes had the comfort of their own boxes, but the common soldiers had to suffer stiffling heat generated by bringing so many men together in the lower sections. This did not stop the general merriment however, as soldiers laughed and chatted ignoring the increasing temperatures. Everyone was excited. It seemed Topal was going to war.
King Roland of Topal stood forward, his powerful presence silencing the mighty arena. Talking loudly but slowly, allowing time for his repeaters to carry the message through the humongous arena, he began.
"Today is a great day for Topal." He began. "Today we begin to build the Topalian empire!" Roland paused, waiting for the cheer to die down.
"My loyal soldiers. We are ready to strike. Our boarders are ready to be stretched to the very ends of the earth!"
"There was a time when this seemed impossible. When our neighbours numbers seemed so much greater than our own. But how we have been patient!"
"For I know your swords are sharpened! Our spears number in the thousands, forming a forrest of spears! But most importantly of all we have your courage! Courage to fight any battle to the death!"
"And yet there is doubt among some of you. The enemy are more numerous you say. Well we are more valorous, but even this is not enough at times."
"So I bring to you the new weapon."
Giant metal doors swing open with a slam, and out lumbers a humongous creature, 25 feet tall with muscles to match. It knuckles touch the ground, much like a monkey, and its head and face is covered in thick hair. Its eyes are dead. Some of the females in the audience, especially in the ruling classes boxes scream, but many of the men laugh at their fear. They had heard rumours after all.
"That's right! We have tamed the giant, and not just this one! Hundreds more like it! There was a time we fought to bring them to extinction. Well now they will fight to bring extinction to our enemies! Imagine it if you will, these beasts hurling boulders into the enemy numbers and then charging them down. There are few men who could stand against such wrath!"
"So next month it begins! Prepare for war!"
