Category talk:Titans

Category
I think the Titans category should be put under Giant-kin (where I created an accidental Titan category before I saw that this one exists) and maybe the individual named titans should be removed from Giant-kin since at that point they would be members of a subcategory.

In Giantcraft or the Twilight Giants trilogy, or both, Lanaxis was a brother of the progenitors of the giant-races, I believe? This would mean that in the Realms, at least, either titans are giantkin or giants are titankin... I'm sure this depends on your perspective. :P

I don't recall titans being listed as giantkin in any Monster Manual. They're given separate entries there, and they could be separated here too. On the other hand, the various surface-dwelling elven races are the only people who refuse to call drow elves and their refusal doesn't change facts. Drow are elves, and titans are giantkin... or the other way around.

All just my opinion, obv. :) Wanderscribe (talk) 21:30, February 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * I deleted the "runt" category :) Darkwynters (talk) 22:12, February 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * No, in both Giantcraft and The Twilight Giants trilogy, titans are true giants. The term "giant-kin" is reserved for descendents of Othea who were not fathered by Annam All-Father.


 * In 4e, as usual, they re-did everything. Titans in 4e are simply bigger, more powerful giants of any variety, such that there are fire titans and storm titans, and all the original terrestrial sons of Annam were considered titans&mdash;not only Lanaxis. I am not sure yet what 5e does.

Giant-kin template
Adding a point of clarification: I'm just talking about removing the Giant-kin category from Algorn, Girzon, et al... not the giantkin template that links each page to all the giant races. Anyway, it's not a big deal either way; totally up to youse guise... and girlse, I don't judge. :) Wanderscribe (talk) 21:34, February 11, 2013 (UTC)


 * I removed the Giant-kin template from each titan, because they are like characters who do not have creature templates, such as Drizzt Do'Urden does not have the Tel-quessir template, while drow does... I also removed the copied material from the history... Great work, Wander!!! Darkwynters (talk) 22:12, February 11, 2013 (UTC)
