Lores:
Arcana DC 10: Frost giants are capable of raising great fortifications of ice and snow with their innitial cyromancy, though such constructions are exceedingly temporary, especially when introduced to fire.
Arcana DC 15: Frost giants are the only type of true giants who keep Bards to remind the glory of their ancestors. Such Bards are known for being able to inspire the determination of their kind.
History DC 10: Frost giants respect individual combat prowess and mastery of improvised poetry and boasts above all else, even when such traits present in non-giantkin.
Nature DC 10: Evil frost giants are infamous for attacking travelers under the cover of foul weather, with many claiming that their runes are able to conjure such blizzards, though others assert that they simply follow the storms opportunistically.
Nature DC 15: The hatred towards heat stops frost giants from becoming blacksmith. As a result, frost giants mainly rely on their cyromancy to create tools, runes and weapons. Only on rare occations will a frost giant use metal like humanoids.
Nature DC 20: True giants have a strange reproducing process. The remain of a true giant will turn into elemental mineral. When a member of their kind breathe their life force into such mineral, new members of them will slowly form within the mineral. This is one of the reasons why true giants are few and only live in limited environment.
Religion DC 15: Frost giants are mandated by the ordning to protect the balance of the nature world. Their innitial talent to knowledge about nature and great strenth help them monitor the change of their home and hunt down dangerous monsters before they can threaten the entire area. However, some frost giants misinterpret their duty and view humanoid society as a threaten to take down, or more likely, simply forget their obligation and join the many pillagers of the Boreal environment.
Religion DC 20: Although all giants have a certain degree of ancestor worshipment, frost giants are the most devout. Many frost giants believe that their spirit will rise into the hall of Jotunheim, a realm located in frostfell where frost giants get their final judgement by their ancestor to convine whether they can be one of the Einherjar or reincarnate into new giants by turning into mineral.

Lores about Fomorians and their curse:
Fomorians are the corrupted cousins of mercury giants. It is said that long ago a group of evil mercury giants wanted to grow their number rapidly in order to compete with the dragons. Under the help of Unseelie Court, these giants captured 1001 fairy prince and princess and used a darkart to drain their life force and then putted them into the elemental mineral that giants use to reproduce. The spirits of the victims made a horrible curse to the mercury giants which result in their descendants inside the mineral mutated and collapsed into twisted mockery. Those giantkins were soon abandoned by their creators into the underdark and became a new type of creature known as "Fomorians" through influnce from the magic energy flowing through their home. Some true giants, especially good mercury giants, view fomorians as pitiable cousins who fall victim to the wild ambition of others. Fomorians however, only see other giants as food resources as they do to any other creature.
The body mutation prevents fomorians from using elemental magic like their cousins, but gives them a more horrible weapon--Fomorian's Curse. Any creature who has been stared by a fomorian will be influnce by the similiar curse affecting the monster. The victims will be engulfed by the abomination that drives these folks mad while their body melt into a pile of flesh for the fomorian to consume.
