The Fir Bolg are human-like beings who are the original settlers of Ireland before the arrival of humans. It is unknown where they originate from, but they are believed to have come originally from Scotland or possibly Scandinavia.

Fir Bolg are human-like but taller and more muscular, with large noses and ears similar to those of deer. Their skin color can vary from earthy brown to blue-ish grey and they have denser body hair than humans.

Fir Bolg literally translates to "men of bags", and it is said that they carried bags of soil from their homeland as a symbol of their claim to the land of Ireland.

In prehistoric times, the Fir Bolg were conquered by the Tuatha Dé Danann and used as worker class and slaves. They regained their freedom when the Tuatha were driven from the world by the Sidhe.

The Fir Bolg are esteemed for their peace-loving nature, diligent work ethic, and unwavering bravery. They take great pride in their independence and self-sufficiency. Renowned for their physical strength, they excel in activities requiring endurance and power.

The Fir Bolg hold great reverence for the Earth and the natural world. They consider the bag of soil from their place of birth as a sacred relic, symbolizing their deep-rooted connection to the land and their ancestors. Other symbols include intricate patterns inspired by nature, reflecting their affinity for the flora and fauna that surround them.

For centuries, the Fir Bolg have maintained a harmonious relationship with the magical community. Their invaluable skills in metallurgy, craftsmanship, and agriculture have been instrumental in advancing magical practices. Their contributions have garnered them widespread respect and admiration within magical circles throughout the British Isles.

Fir Bolg speak a language called Draethain. It is a melodic and enchanting tongue which evokes a sense of harmony and reverence for the natural world.
