Mijjit and pattern aether allow titans to alter their bodies with the weather itself. Changes in the weather often accompany temporary changes in their bodies, and extreme weather can alter them permanently. For instance, flooding can give them the lower body of a serpent or fish. High summer heat can cause them to have shining skin. They can also wield pattern aether to trigger changes via mijjit through excerises known as troo. Troo involves eating special foods (fish, mutton, certain grains, and spices), weight-lifting (800 lbs. a day), running or swimming ten miles a week, and elaborate dances.

Common bodily alterations include ram's horns or feet (usually worn by warriors), cow's eyes, goat's horns or feet, beards, the feaures of a golden dog, piercing needles for fingers or hands, golden flesh, widened bodies, wings sprouting from the forehead, blushing cheeks, long flowing hair, or crab claws.

Titans also have supernatural size, strength, agility, constitution, and regenerative properties due to mijjit. Their regenerative properties are triggered by electrical charge. They are resistant to senescence, only aging considerably after about 80 years.

Titans have all of the above-mentioned powers, including supernatural size, strenght, agility, resistance to senescence, electrical regeneration, and the ability to alter their own shapes through troo. They also have the innate ability to understand the needs of fish.

Moreover, the pattern aether within titans gives them power of currents (wind or water), navigational powers, seasonal changes to their powers (or rather, changes due to changes in weather each season), and the power to hold lightning in their hands. Other powers that manifest in titans (though not in every titan) include but are not limited to cloud-walking, prophetic powers (seeing patterns), creating memory pools, attunement to the celestial axis around which the heavens revolve, hyper intelligence and memory, improved vision, creating small amounts of light (electrical charge), astronomical understanding, meteorlogical understanding, martial prowess, temporal anomaly control, blasts of entropy, authoritative speech, control of the sea, and healing touch. These powers derive from their immense capacity for aether.

The history of the titans is complex. In the beginning, they lived in matriarchal societies in the clouds, but they went to war with the Divines themselves and were cast down to Shem in a war called the Titanomachy. During their Golden Age (matriarchal age), they lived in bliss among the clouds, but one of their leaders, an elder who learned to combine pattern and temporal aether, wielded a harpe, or stone sickle, to castrate the Storm God (though some versions of this story say it was the opposite--the attack gave the Storm God his phallus, because the harpe sent his body backward in time somehow). Some say Mother Shem herself gave the titan elder this sickle, and some say it was not stone but ailsilver. This began a war, and the titans were said to have (briefly) won, until the Storm Prince, son of the Storm God, the most powerful of all Aeonians (according to the tale), hurled Divine lightning at the heart of the titan cities in the clouds, destroying them all and scattering them along the coasts where they now live.

During this war, some titans did not engage or sided with the Divines, and in doing so, they were allowed to continue living among the clouds. These are the rare titans who can still walk on clouds. The war saw many alliances shift and change, and the stories vary greatly. The titan elder who led the war was overthrown during their brief victory because he resorted to cannibalizing his children for power. He was cast down and made a prisoner in a cave by the sea, but some say he will be released one day to rule once more among the clouds.

In modern times, titans are seafaring folk living along rocky coasts. They farm fish, olives, and storms. Their ships are oar-driven, with golden rudders. Some of their ships can fly and are pulled by chollima. They live in a societies of city-states, each ruled by a small oligarchy of powerful titans. These oligarchs consider themselves to be the descendants of the graet titan king who was sealed in the cave, and anyone wishing to become an oligarch must "prove" their ancestry, usually through displays of power. The cloud-dwelling titans who remain in the sky have small, matriarchal villages where they are ruled by councils mostly of women or non-binary titans, each one representing one of the values they say the original titan society ran on: good counsel, divine/social order, fairness, natural law, family, custom, justice, calm judgment (a lack of wrath), proper procedure, and truth. How they defined these varies by village.

In the seafaring communities, the titans keep animals other than fish. Serpents, black doves, drakes, and chollima are the most common. These animals are raised as companions, guards, or messengers. In the clouds, black doves, serpents, chollima, and other birds are very common for the same reasons.

Music is a major part of the life of titans in any environment. Tympanons (hand-held drums), brass cymbals, and chants and dances are parts of most feasts and festivals. Titans celebrate the major events of their past in festivals featuring dramas throughout the year: the remembrance of Titanomachy, the castrating of the Storm God, fall of the titan king, and the annual coming and going of the storm season are the biggest festivals. During their lives, titans feast on birthdays, wedding anniversaries, and a special testing of their ability to walk on clouds (some titans even among the seafarers are born with it). Titans become adults at their final growth spurt, usually around their 18th birthday. Those who don't have a growth spurt electrocute themselves (often by standing out in thunderstorms holding up metal) to gain the power needed to do so.

Titan children are raised by their mothers in seafaring communities. Other parents are sometimes involved, sometimes not. If a parent is a sailor, they are usually gone from the child's life, unless the mother is the sailor, then she takes the child with her on the ships. These children inevitably become sailiors. In the clouds, they are raised communally. Courtship is a series of displays of power, bountiful gifts, and bribing the parents. In the clouds, the latter is ceremonial. Along the coasts, it is very seriously taken. Young titans go on quests for grand bribes for the parents of their beloved.

Titan warriors use special weapons imbued with pattern aether. Harpes are very common, but special needle-like swords are often used by high ranking warriors, and sharp cutting blades are used by skilled warriors. Their blades are said to be able to cut fact from fiction.
