Ildor

Fire Giants

Unlike other elemental Jōtunyr, composition of the Ildor is not well understood. It is unclear whether the Jōtun Ildor is a composite being, consisting of wood, coal, or other sources combined with flame, or whether they exist only in the fire that slowly consumes (and animates) its host materials. Jōtun Ildor can appear as fire-engulfed tree trunks assembled into an anthropoidal form or the glowing embers of coal collected into a similar form. At least one story from 3/278 ER (785 LR) described how the Eylfāryr summoned a Jōtun Ildor, composed of bound and torched Yrūni prisoners, to march upon their foes.
