Annam is worshipped by almost all giants, who see him as the greatest example of their own subspecies, personifying the traits that they value the most. He originally lived in Ysgard, in a realm called Gudheim. Annam's Hidden Realm is on the plane of the Outlands. An enormous, hideous ogress is said to have seduced Annam, with Vaprak as the result. Memnor is sometimes said to be his son with the sky goddess, and other times said to be his brother, or the spawn of a world-devouring monster that Annam or Stronmaus destroyed. Surtr, the dead goddess Shax, Diancastra, Hiatea, Thrym, and Karontor are also said to be his children, but perhaps with different wives or concubines.

His symbol is a pair of crossed hands, held palms together with their fingers facing downward. Also known as the All-Father, is the creator god of the giant pantheon. Annam is the giant deity of Magic, Knowledge, Fertility, and Philosophy.
