The Land of Giants is a kingdom directly north of Snowhold. Despite what the name implies, giants don't initially seem to be around anywhere. Instead, the town is populated by people who are much tinier than average size, making any newcomers seem like giants. However, none of the inhabitants other than Tom Thumb and Thumbelina actually realize they are tiny people.
Description[]
The entrance from Snowhold to the Land of Giants is placed above mountain peaks that are so high, they break through cloud cover. From Snowhold, the path to the Land of Giants stops. 30 yards out, there's a mile marking pointing up, and continue along the length of the clouds. Despite the objects, the clouds do not disperse as they are solid enough to walk on, though they are very squishy. At the end of a cloud, there is a 6ft wide beanstalk that appears to be going down to the ground. The beanstalk goes down for miles, and, while there seems to be a town at the bottom of the stalk, there is nothing among the clouds other than the markers.
At the ground level below the inital cloud cover, the landscape is basically scortched earth. The trees have been cut down, and the grass has been burned away. There used to be a great church until it was destroyed by a book thrown by Mother Timothy Goose.

Background[]
The main story within the Land of the Giants tells the story of a version of Jack where he stole several times a from a giant, and then killed the giant while trying to escape his wrath. One of the things that was stolen was the giant's Golden Goose that lays golden eggs. It is how the town gets him wealth.
History[]
Leap of Faith[]
When Destiny's Children first enter the Land of Giants, they are able to see the seams of reality as they occasionally burst through the sky; amendments/alterations to the a true book outside of their reality. There's the feeling of a story that has been written, but has been whited out and hidden. Frustrated that Rapunzel has stolen his book out from under him, Timothy throws his book away as he is standing in the clouds. What he didn't realize what that, in that world, they are considered giants, and the book had landed on their church, destroying it. This causes the town to think they are under attack.
In the Land of Giants[]
With the watchtowers lit, the city prepares to battle the perceived giants, threatening to eat their flesh. They have the Golden Goose held captive, tied up with rope nearby. The leader of the battle is Jack, self-proclaiming himself (due to his vanity) as the "Giant-Killer."
Trivia[]
- The mini of the Bean Stalk was sold during the Dimension 20 Neverafter auction for $729.
