The oldest mention of them is that they fought the Dragons at a time nobody else remembers but the outcome is obscured in Dragonewt metaphysics.
Annilla is cited in a syncretized God Learner history as having been queen of the Giants and that her husband was he who moves.

According to ST p214, it was after Engizi fought Korang the Slayer and was wounded. However the Stream was supposedly blessed by Malkion which makes it rather early.
