The Kayax
In Scotland, there is a hag figure known as the Cailleach who molds the landscape and rules the winter. Winter is a big deal in Scotland. It's less of a big deal in Oklahoma. I mean, we do have winter. It's a great time for hiking and bonfires, between ice and wildfires. But we do have a lot of interesting landscape, and like many other places, you can still see traces of the giants who shaped it.
The Kayax are an androgynous species of Giants who shaped the lands called Oklahoma. Although many of the ancient human stories might refer to them as female, they're really just Kayax. It is unclear if gender, or even reproduction, is a thing for Kayax. Some say they sprang fully formed from the molten earth itself in the before times. They tend to keep to themselves in wild places. We may never know how many there are or how many there ever were. Most of what we know is rumor told to humans by the birds, animals, plants, and stones as they heard from their ancestors, for many of the stories come from before today's animals and plants even existed. Some say they are territorial siblings who argued over land. Some say the ones remaining are so ancient and secluded they've forgotten each other. Some say they can call storms, are particular about their feet, and if you make them angry their stomping feet cause earthquakes. All agree that The Kayax love rocks.
