Объясните, пожалуйста, смысл этого отрывка - это вампиры выдают себя за великанов или это вампиры-великаны?
"The harrowing northern reaches of Scandinavia
give rise to dire philosophies when the Kindred who
dwell there rise from months-long torpor or maraud
in months-long stretches with precious little daylight.
So it is with Utgård, the “outyards” in Old Norse and
the realm of devious giants. Those who make their
havens there believe that Ragnarök has come and
gone, with only their remote island having survived
the apocalypse.
Isolated on a remote island off the coast of Norway,
Utgård is a domain that may be close to the potential
terror of the First City. The Kindred hold sway here
openly and defiantly, and their few mortal thralls exist
only to serve and feed their vampiric domitors. Perhaps
300 wretched mortals live here, laboring under
the whims of some 45-plus vampire lords. For their
part, the Kindred are jaded and debased, leading unlives
of savagery not far removed from those of Dark
Ages jarls. By terrorizing their mortal thralls, these
vampires fear no escape, for who would believe the
tales of a “vampire island” with orgiastic blood-rites
and deathless giants? Believing that the end of the
world has already passed passed, the mortals know
that nothing else is out there, and have reverted to a
superstitious semi-barbarism."
