Trolls

Trolls are big. Trolls are slow. Trolls aren’t stupid, even if they’ve got that reputation. They came from harsh mountain wilderness, and were taught not to speak until they had something intelligent and eloquent to say, so they got tagged as dumb brutes when they first encountered other folk. They never developed a written language, so when their bards who held their oral tradition were killed, enslaved, or driven out ages ago, much of the epic poetry that was trollish culture got lost. {AS}

Civilization and Culture

Naming Traditions

Most traditional troll names are forgotten, so trolls take names freely from other cultures. When taking surnames to ft in with Royal bureaucracy, trolls went simple: Moon, Rock, Desk, Sky, and such. Roughly a tenth of trolls have the family name Troll.

Major Organizations

In the vastness of the aether sea, trolls have managed to find a type of freedom which has allowed them to begin grow and, importantly, begin the establishment of their own culture. Instrumental to that venture is the work of the Trollish Loremasters who travel across the sea seeking to gather all the stories that have been lost.
