SibeccaiLands: The sibeccai meld into cosmopolitan society far better than the litorians do,perhaps because they do not have their own lands.Rather,they dwell wherever giants do,often making a living serving giants in various capacities.For the most part,they are urban creatures,preferring to live in settled communities rather than in the wild.Thus, they are adept at gathering rumors and picking up on the subtleties ofinteraction among intelligent creatures.

Religion: Extremely spiritual,sibeccai society (not unlike that of the giants) involves a great many rituals and ceremonies.However, where the giants’ rituals are calm,quiet,and introspective,those of the sibeccai seem more savage and less sophisticated—they are overt,loud,and showy.Sibeccai also place a great deal ofstock in dreams and their interpretation.

Language: Sibeccai have no language oftheir own,but most of them speak simple Giant as well as Common.

Names: Sibeccai names,though long and formal,are always just a single word (no surnames).The names themselves carry no special meaning,but sibeccai frequently give themselves or each other descriptive titles like “Vidirdon the Dreamer” or “Palathan the Speaker.” Here are some more sample names:
