Trolls have a hideous appearance that not even another troll could find appealing: faces sunken and long, extended noses and pointed ears. Nearly as tall as ogres, they are well known for strength and savagery. Internal strife in troll societies is hinted at by the number of scars on their skin. Their apparel is usually filthy, since trolls do little in the ways of practicing hygiene. Spilled blood often covers armor and clothing. They craft their own armor, desiring spikes and other painful adornments that can serve great pain. |

Appearance
Trolls are quite unique. They possess a hideous appearance that even other trolls distaste. The culture is more monstrous than civilized. They're often as tall as ogres and an even match in a fight. These creatures are known throughout the land for their cruel and violent ways. Scars are a badge of honor and are never treated. Blood from defeated foes is commonly found on the armor of most Trolls. Their lack of hygiene results in a horribly foul odor.
Demeanor
Trolls exercise little self-control. Most every word is spoken and every action performed. There is no predictable Troll. Pain is of great enjoyment to Trolls. Their one true love is inflicting pain at every opportunity. Trusting a Troll is hard since a Troll will never trust anyone in return.
Faith
Trolls worship in a shamanistic fashion. Cazic-Thule is reguarded as their creator. Some Trolls have learned how to contain their rage for short durations. They have been able to harness the power of their creator and now consider themselves Priests. These Priests may have some slight control over their emotions but are still just as dangerous as a normal Troll.
Background
Trolls were the first race placed on Norrath by Cazic-Thule. They are nearly as tall as ogres but less bulky, with rough greenish skin and sinister features. Trolls will eat anything, cooked or uncooked, as long as it was (or still is) alive at some point. Trolls care only for satisfying their personal desires, which mostly revolve around a hunger for food and a lust for battle. They are reviled by most other races, andthey would be even more dangerous if their intelligence wasn't so limited. Even so, their inherent savagery and selfishness combined with formidable strength make them deadly opponents. Built into the muck and mire of Innothule Swamp, the troll city of Grobb was a primitive, messy hovel. It was eventually conquered by their ancient rivals, the frogloks, who transformed the city into Gukta. The trolls sought refuge with their dark elf allies, falling even more under the control of the Teir'Dal.
Despite their limitations, trolls are not to be underestimated. A particularly savage clan made their home in Broken Skull Rock, filling their hearts with the doctrines of Hate. With Innoruuk as their new master, they stole an ancient artifact from Grobb, a stone etched with the prophecy of the Grozmok. Trolls continue to await the coming of the Grozmok, a mythical figure that will unite the tribes under the combined might of Fear and Hate.
Recent History
Trolls have adapted to living without a centralized home city for much of the last 500 years. Though they wish to one day return to their home in the swamp, the food supply in Freeport keeps them content. |
