Havkyn

Havkyn (HAV-KIN) is a Gyiโ€™Gantos word that translates very literally โ€œHalf-Kinโ€, but it seems to be more colloquially used to mean โ€œMistakeโ€.

The word refers to a small number of Goliaths with one Goliath parent and one Gyiโ€™Gantos father.

In Session 36 - Aurevald learned that he was Havkyn during his fight with Baldyr Oathkeeper. He recalled a conversation he had overheard as a toddler between his father; Toskaldr, and his Mother; Aurvelia, where the word was used - and then felt a burgeoning power boil from within.

Toskaldr revealed that Gyiโ€™Gantos magic seems to be mostly non-functional outside of the Feywild. Havkyn seem largely take after their non-Gyiโ€™Gantos parents; with their Gyiโ€™Gantos magic supressed/dormant.

Aurevald was told the story behind how Havkyn came to mean โ€œMistakeโ€, but he has not shared that with anyone at this time.
