thinking about the Grandis ...

and I'm convinced Verso painted them for Alicia. Just replayed through Act 2 and I was surprised when she mentions she too used to play in his canvas with Verso; Clea's fingerprints are all over the world in a way Alicia's aren't, but the Grandis's quiet nature and love of poetry are very reminiscent of her. "Grandis" also means "grown", which I think is a hint that Verso painted them when he was older than he did the Gestrals and Esquie. I don't think the Gestrals' exuberant nature would mesh too well with Alicia, so I can picture him painting these gentle giants who have verse contests for his shy, quiet little sister who shared his interest for words and poetry.

Subspecies Just Dropped: Grandis (Great Potoo)

The Grandis are a noble subspecies. They guard their targets with unwavering loyalty and many are willing to put down their lives for those that they have sworn to protect. Because of the this the Grandis are often hired for the more dangerous guard duties such as watching dangerous prisoners or repugnant elites.

Although the Grandis choose what jobs they take, many may find themselves taking up less then ideal jobs due to their wandering nature. Most Grandis do not have a place to call home and will sleep out on the hard ground if they do not currently have a job that pays them or gives them free room and board. This is not because they can't own a house, but rather most follow the traditions of their ancestors and choose to not have things that tie them to one place.
