The giant enclaves found in Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants are one of the most interesting features in the new Dungeons & Dragons sourcebook, but some are cooler than others. Although enclaves vary in nature, all of them are vast in scale and feature some significant connection to giants. The nature and terrain of any given enclave is often the main determining factor of whether it will fit into a campaign. When a story or environment is open-ended enough for multiple giant enclaves to do the trick, however, it’s worth looking at what makes each of the best options uniquely exciting.
A total of 18 giant enclaves are available in Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants, ranging from secluded mountain valleys to monuments brimming with power. Every Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants enclave has some kind of connection to the magic of DnD giants, which can often lead to their most interesting features. Physical layout is also a major part of any great giant enclave, whether that comes in the form of memorable scenery or interesting battle terrain.
Characters interested in the power of the giants could learn much from the Runic Circle, a plateau covered in standing stones and carvings that records many spells in the unique DnD magical language of giant’s runes. Wizards studying the records inscribed at this Bigby Presents: Glory of the Giants enclave can inscribe the spells they might learn into a spellbook. The Runic Circle also acts as a teleportation circle that can work across multiple planes to send messages to typically unreachable locations.

Like the Thundering Observatory, the Endless Rockslide provides a permanent hazard, making it a difficult giant enclave to navigate. Rocks deposited by a portal fall down a mountain into another portal, making for an unending barrage that can bludgeon creatures to death or even sweep them into another DnD plane. Despite its danger, the useful minerals here provide an inexhaustible quarry of sorts, and the sheer power of the earth magic at the Endless Rockslide makes it a worthwhile pilgrimage for anyone.
