Age of Civilizations – Jotnar

The Jotnar are morose, dark-hearted humans that align with goblins.

They’re modeled after the Chaos Warriors of Warhammer Fantasy. Remote, barbaric people who are "touched by chaos".

But they also have similarities to the Cimmerian race of Conan the Barbarian.

They worship the cosmos and constellations, and their names blend MYTH with VIOLENCE.

Visually, they have horned helmets, tattoos, and glowing red eyes.

They have bonuses to skill gain:
+ 30% Weapon-Smithing
+ 30% Astronomy
