DM's Notes: Beyond what I've already written under Coldstone and Kimsbridge, I don't really have anything for Muirmaer at this point. Up until I completed the above information, Muirmaer didn't even have an official ruler. Jovian is the name that is given to certain types of half-giants on the World of Kulan. The term is more often used on the western continents (Harqual, Janardûn, & Triadora) and the Isles of Valossa. The name comes from Green Ronin's Bastards & Bloodlines: A guidebook to Half-Breeds. That D20 sourcebook has racial traits for hill, frost, and fire jovians.
