Cyclops Lore
A character knows the following information with a successful Arcana check.
DC 20: Cyclopses are the willing subjects of fomorians, whom they view as the rightful lords of the Feywild. Indeed, cyclopses believe that fomorians are divine. Thus cyclopses are the fomorians’ most valued subjects, serving as bodyguards, soldiers, and artisans—roles that fomorians consider beneath them, but which they don’t trust to faithless subjects or slaves.
DC 25: Cyclopses are master craftspeople, and in the depths of the Feywild’s Underdark, their most storied elders are hard at work forging implements of immense power for their fomorian masters. Magical rings, swords with blades of lightning, and shields that can turn a dragon’s breath—these and more are gifts cyclopses lay at the feet of those they consider gods.
DC 30: Cyclopses sometimes wander the world at the behest of their masters. They do so to fulfill various purposes, but they often make war on elves and despoil eladrin holdings. On some occasions, cyclopses ally with drow. Whenever such an alliance occurs, rumors resurface of an ancient agreement between fomorians and drow referred to as the “Declaration of Eschatos.” The exact nature of this agreement and the lore it keeps safe, if any, is unknown. Whatever the hidden specifics of the accords, it seems that cyclopses aid the drow in minor raids and other evil enterprises.
DC 35: Cyclopses formed on the Feywild as an unforeseen echo of ogres in the world. It is said that fomorians shaped and taught them, much as the ancient titans formed and influenced the world’s giants.

DC 20：獨眼巨人是fomorians 的僕從，相信fomorians 才是精界荒野的真正主人。事實上，獨眼巨人認為fomorians 是神聖的。相對的，獨眼巨人是fomorians最有價值的使役，他們作為保鏢，士兵，和工匠——擔任fomorians 認為低於他們，但是無法信任不忠誠的僕人或奴隸的職務。
DC 25：獨眼巨人是工匠大師，在精界荒野的幽深處，它們傳說中的長老為了它們的fomorians 主人打造具有強大威力的工具。魔戒，附電之劍，和可以抵擋龍息的盾牌——這些以及其他許多都被獨眼巨人作為祭品獻給它們的神。
DC 30：獨眼巨人有時奉它們主人的命令為了各種目的行走於世間，但是它們常與精靈交戰並掠奪Eladrin聚居點。在某些情況下，獨眼巨人和卓爾聯合。當這樣的情況發生時， fomorians曾和卓爾簽訂了“Eschatos聲明”這個古老協議的謠言便又會散佈開來。這個協定的確切內容被保密，即便有任何傳聞也無從被世人得知。不管協議被掩藏的條約是何，獨眼巨人會協助卓爾進行次要的掠奪或其他邪惡行動。
DC 35：獨眼巨人是自然世界的食人魔在精界荒野的同類。傳說fomorians塑造並教導它們，如同古代泰坦創造並影響自然世界的巨人一樣。
