Troll

               Take no back talk from anyone, not even an

                 obsidiman. Stand for your word and make them stand

                 for theirs. I generally make an exception for

                 windlings. They fly like blazes, and their tongues

                 move just as fast. Open confrontation just

                 encourages them. It is best to wait until they sleep,

                 then pop their puny heads off.

 

            -- Larus Baldurion, Crystal raider captain, making his traditional

                           speech to a new crew

 

The average troll height is 8 feet 6 inches, and average weight is 500 pounds or more. Skin colors range from olive to mahogany-brown. Troll skin has a rough texture, increased by the ridges, spines, or plating resulting from deposits of trolthelia, a substance similar to the material in rhinoceros horn. Body hair is sparse except on the chest, and head hair grows considerably thicker and longer than human hair. Lower canines protrude from the mouths of a slight majority of trolls. The nose is broader than the human nose. Trolls exhibit fierce, aggressive personalities. The average natural life span is 50 years, though some trolls have lived into their seventies. Trolls reach physical maturity in their early teens. Trolls are fiercely loyal to their family or clan. Multiple clans can organize through the ritual of the trollmoot, gatherings of several clans whose leaders swear the loyalty of their clans to one another, but such unified action remains rare. Troll clans often war among themselves when other enemies are lacking. Trolls prefer to live in caves, ice caverns, or other natural geographic features. They find dwarven or elven settlements more comfortable than human or ork communities, and have been known to camp around obsidimen connected to a Liferock. Trolls find the serenity of the obsidimen calming and deeply moving. Their regard for the obsidiman’s mountains often prompts trolls to choose those sites for trollmoots.
