Zephyros

Zephyros is an eccentric cloud giant with windswept white hair, a wispy white beard, and a billowy purple robe adorned with gold stars.

Zephyros has been using contact other plane spells to find a way to set things right with giant-kind. Failed castings have driven him insane on multiple occasions. He has recovered from the madness, though it has accentuated his eccentricity. His magical investigations have led him to Nightstone. While he had nothing to do with the cloud giant attack on the settlement, he is horrified to learn of the damage his fellow giants caused.

Zephyros holds "small folk" in higher regard than most giants. As characters introduce themselves to him, a wide smile settles on the cloud giant's face as he realizes they may be the ones mentioned by the mysterious planar entities with which he has spoken. Convinced that the characters can restore the ordning, Zephyros offered to transport them to one destination of their choice in the North. That is the extent of his involvement. The planar entities with whom Zephyros has spoken via the contact other plane spell warned him against taking a more direct hand in events. After safely delivering the characters to their destination, Zephyros and his tower depart.
