For example, I tend to play Gruumsh not as the "god of orcs," but, instead, as the god that more conquering barbarian orcs prefer. The preferred god of god-venerating giants will likely depend on what type: e.g., storm/cloud giant: Kord; stone/hill giant: Moradin; etc. If you look up Thor on Wikipedia, you will also see listed that he is a god of strength, and Kord is pretty much just off-brand Thor. Heracles is a god of strength. Kratos, the actual one in Greek mythology, is a deified personification of strength. As weird as it may seem, it's perfectly normal to have gods of strength. Not not every warrior deity is a god of strength. For example, the Norse god Tyr is a warrior god, but he is generally not considered a god of strength. Some deities are strong and may represent physical valor, but aren't generally considered gods of strength, like Ares.</blockquote>
