Description

His imposing red tattoo around his eye, his snow leopard armor and commanding loud voice, makes you quickly realize that you're standing in the presence of the Physis Giant king.

Krug Seerbarsch is a stern Giant, who is also the revered King of the Giants and has a pet eagle called Waschbar. Krug is located in the southern part of Vales, inside the Chief's House. His wife is Queen Kirine and she can be found nearby him. His sister Karpfen was sent to Taillteann as a representative for the Giants.

Krug will "bless" Giants and Giant-allied Humans when talked to. Giants will receive 15 Strength and Will, while allied Humans receive 10 Strength and Will. This blessing will last indefinitely unless a player logs out, changes channels, leaves Vales, or becomes Knocked Unconscious.
