I seem to recall a dev/loc member saying at some point that the tribe summoning Shiva was not yet in the game (I'll see if I can find it), so that is why my money is currently on the people of Doma, Othard.
I had a brief encounter with a GM in the guise of Kipih Jakkya in 1.0 as some friends and I stood in the Emerald Exchange in Ul'dah. They began asking us about a northern tribe of giants who seemed to be intent upon summoning a primal with a, "most icy disposition." They also started to hint about the Imperials and Primals as I chatted with them about, "hating" the Imperial menace. I began to banter with them about journeys trying to take a very RP lean, playing along in an effort to find more info.

Unfortunately this was Durandal, and it happened to be near the, "standing grounds" of a good many so-called elite LS. They began to mock and ask stupid very unrelated questions, and the GM excused themselves before I could get them to tell me much more.

It is my understanding that that same week several other individuals on a variety of servers received some news about an icy primal and a massive/giant beastman tribe. I have never doubted that we would have a giant tribe of beastmen after that encounter. After I first saw the Gigants I knew fairly well these were likely our culprits. I wish I'd taken screenies but alas.
