Others have been much more brutal towards the baby. This is from a second age document (supposedly written 682 ST but in Old Pavic?) about the looting of a cradle.
'The child put up quite a struggle on his own. He seemed
docile at first, but I think he was angered when his
friends were broken and his giant anny-maid was killed.
Anybody whom he slapped was killed, or nearly so, an
though the pathetic creature wailed when the spears struck
him, he did not cease struggling until he was dead.'
Pavis Episodes p27

The Pol Joni were not around in then having been in Prax only since 1420 ST. I doubt the nomads will loot the cradle as Waha was quite friendly towards the giants when they sacked Robcradle. The newtlings don't really seem to be afflicted with human-type greed.

The giants (they are actually Elder Giants) are very big and are not your RQIII giant. The baby girl in the Cradle Adventure was 10 metres long despite being comparable in development to a nine month human baby. So it's probably not grown up.
