Storm Giant Paramount
A paramount is a green-skinned, crowned storm giant in a red mantle, rising out of weather that holds him up at his command. Storm giant holds send their disputes up to him instead of settling them with axes. He rarely comes down, and once down he stays a long time. His word on a matter is final, and the holds that have tested this are remembered by name and by their ruins. He is found in floating citadels, storm belts, the upper atmosphere and Utgard.
