Trolls

Trolls

Having evolved only recently from Goblins 1,000 years ago. Trolls are a very young race in essence. The dwell in forests, swamps, and marshes. They have a natural resistance to poisonous substances and even eat them as a form of food. However this resistance is akin to the flammable chemicals in their blood making them heavily vulnerable to flames. If fire of any kind pierces their skin or contacts their blood, it ignites them. The only way to survive such injury is to amputate the affected limb within 60 seconds of contact. They do not have hair, instead a strange, stringy fungus grows from their heads. Even though it resembles hair it is a strong herb based poison. It is commonly used as a poison to coat or even wrap weaponry in. They are also capable of crystal clear night vision.

Troll Characterisitics

Trolls have sharp teeth, pointed noses, pointed ears, green skin, claws on their fingers, lizard like feet and pitch yellow eyes.

Troll History

Trolls have been warring with elves since they knew how to wage war. In their early stages trolls and elves were very similar. However the territorial nature of the trolls pushed their similiarities to a breaking point. War soon followed and has ever since. Troll heroes have come and gone in the form of elvish conquest but nothing unrelated to war.

Recent History

Trolls have recently begun to break apart as a unified tribe and began to populate a much larger area. Inhabiting plains and mountain ranges. Trolls have also struck a full alliance with Goblins. Considering the Goblins their fathering race, Trolls take great heed of the Goblins words. Trolls are now seen even in capital cities, bodyguarding Goblin merchants or their caravans. In exchange the Goblins send armor and weaponry to the Troll tribes and teach them to craft metal.
