The Cloud Titan is a giant who once inhabited the islands of Tempest Bay, known today as the city Tempestus, around 900 years ago. Leading a band of hill giants, they were defeated, presumably with a united force of Pericans and Talkasti, in order to secure the islands as a new settlement for their people.[1][2] Defeating the giants, and the subsequent construction of Tempestus, resulted in the group's unification and the founding of Varlamore.[3]
Though the Cloud Titan was believed to have been slain during the attack on Tempest Bay, its armour was never recovered until an adventurer brought it to the Grand Museum and donated it to the staff around 700 years after its defeat.[4] Though he claimed that the Cloud Titan survived the attack and defeated it by himself, historians considered this unlikely.[5][6]
