The Giant Wars were fought between the giants of Nedeheim and the dwarves of High Shanatar from −5360 DR to −5350 DR.

The dwarves were led by Karlyn of House Kuldever.

By the end of the war, more than five thousand giants of Nedeheim had fallen to the dwarves and half of the entire giant population south of the Cloud Peaks was exterminated. The giant realm of Nedeheim was reduced to scattered clanholds.[1]

Notes[]

While The Grand History of the Realms marks this conflict as spanning only a single decade, Lost Empires of Faerûn lists it as a sixty-year period[2]. The date in the Grand History is almost certainly a typo, as the very next entry in that tome, dated -5330 DR, mention the Giant Wars still being fought.
