: fir'bolg as long-range units in the game?
My theory is this - its the fir'Bolg of the Ermine that swore never to fight outside their borders again. However, like it or lump it Chimera clearly indicates that there were fir'Bolg allied with the Legion fighting Soulblighter.
As there's a few references in Chimera (particularly the name of the graveyard) that put it in the region of Forest Heart, I think that fir'Bolg live there too and continued to fight against the dark. After all, Forest Heart doesn't have bre'Unor (that we know of), and there's the giants to help maintain law & order. If fir'Bolg are living in that area that could explain how they came to be allied with dwarves & help defend Myrgard long before the alliance with humans was formed.
We didn't get to use them in-game because Bungie wanted to change a few things. They wanted to use lich in place of thrall, and brigands in place of warriors too ;)
