Trolls

Almost twice as tall as a man and sturdy as a stone and strong as an ox. Generally quiet, obedient and slow to anger, these grey skinned behemoths make excellent, though perhaps a bit simple minded, guards and bouncers. City Trolls tend to live in the squaller of urban ghettos, living in clapboard constructions which approximate the sheetleaf huts of their wilder mountain brethren, surrounded by empty food tins piled high and, strangely, a tremendous number of stray cats. Trolls appear to work hard, but for some reason they are never able to aquire wealth and therefore always remain at the fringes of society.

Mountain Trolls, while also reasonably peaceful, are fiercly territorial and have a strict sense of protocol and social hierarchy, in which city trolls have no place. Troll tribes mostly govern themselves as familial units but the Grand Chief (the biggest, meanest, strongest troll) has access to a set of Blood Rights, the sacred law of the Troll Chieftains. First among the Blood Rights is the right to call Trungang, or a meeting of the tribes.

When their roth is sufficiently raised, the strong and resiliant trolls make excellent warriors and are fearsome indeed on the battlefield, as seen in the Great War of Magiks and Things.

Incidentally, the Trolls, along with the Giants were very upset with being included in the "and Things" portion of the name of this war, but historians thought that the Great War of Magicks and Trolls and Giants and Various Well-Armed Armies of Many Nations didn't quite have the same ring to it.
