The Giants in the Ruins!

The deeper they ventured, the more the ruins revealed themselves.

At the center lay a colossal, shattered statue, face-down in the dirt. Only its back remained visible above the surface.

The statue's broken torso alone measured seventy or eighty meters long, its true height, before it fell, must have been even more staggering.

Everything about these ruins felt raw, ancient, and crude.

Wide stone staircases, each step a towering three meters high, led further into the site. Climbing them was no challenge for William and the Forum Master, but they were clearly designed for beings far larger.

As they reached the seventh step, the full grandeur of the ruins unfolded before them.

And so did the monsters lurking within.

Deep inside, deformed giants roamed.

Each one stood around ten meters tall, their grotesque bodies twisted by mutation.

Some had three legs.

Some had a single, oversized eye.
