Troll

This Article is in accordance with the version 0.94 of Runarcana RPG

Trolls are a grotesque humanoid species that inhabit the lands of Freljord and Shurima. Ice trolls typically have blue skin while sand trolls have yellow skin, close to the color of sand, but both descendants share a tribal culture. Recently, the Ice Trolls have begun to prepare for war, rallying under the banner of Trundle, the Troll King. There are also Sand Trolls living in Shurima and Ixtal. It is unknown how many of these Trolls exist, with their mere existence being considered a myth in modern times.

The Troll King

Trundle is a hulking, treacherous ice troll with a particularly vicious tendency, and there's nothing he can't bludgeon his way through, not even the Freljord itself. Fiercely territorial, he hunts down anyone foolish enough to enter his domain. Then, with his massive club of True Ice, he chills his enemies to the bone and impales them with jagged frozen pillars, laughing as they bleed out on the tundra.

Trundle's warlike tribe was once led by a foolish and cowardly chief. Under such a weak leader, Trundle feared that he and his kind would be nothing but prey for other hordes of trolls scattered across the tundra. The clashes, however, ended in humiliation. Trundle did something that was unusual for his species: instead of resorting to his fists, he resorted to his wits. Rummaging on his furry feet, he concocted a story about past troll leaders, saying they wielded weapons of great power as symbols of their right to rule. Setting off towards the Frost Witch's territories in search of a worthy weapon.

When Trundle returned to his tribe with a massive magical staff of True Ice, his fellow trolls bowed to his conquest. Dubbing his weapon the "Boneshiver", he took a moment to enjoy the shock etched on his boss's face before overpowering him.

Seeking command, Trundle announced that there would be no more chiefs - only a Troll King to whom all would kneel. The trolls rallied behind their trust, their new leader, and prepared for the coming war. With Trundle leading the charge, the trolls' time had finally come.

Physiology

Trolls are huge and muscular and use their size to intimidate and dominate smaller creatures and races. They have unusually colored skin, with wart-like bumps all over their bodies. While most of their bodies are furless, most trolls have long hair and beards, which can be various shades of red, blue, orange, brown, or gray.

Their eyes glow blue or amber, obscuring their pupils and irises. They have large noses, which are a different hue compared to their skin color; they also have large tusk-like front teeth that give them a powerful bite.

Their jaws are able to open at an unnaturally wide angle to shred flesh and intimidate smaller individuals. Unlike humans, they have 3-fingered hands and stubby feet. Ice Trolls are among the few races able to wield True Ice and the weapons made with it.

Though in the distant past the Trolls had many Kings and valiant champions, in the present they have mostly been reduced to savagery and have spread especially across the Freljord, with some tribes reaching colossal sizes but often at the cost of intellect.

Sand Troll

Sand trolls are smarter and more sneaky than their Ice cousins, but their tribes are fewer in number and they mostly keep to themselves.

Desertborn. Sand Trolls are immune to any extreme heat effects from locations and ignore difficult terrain caused by sand.

Elusive Masters. Despite their size, Sand Trolls are extremely agile and hide easily due to their sandy skin tone. You have proficiency in Stealth and gain advantage on these checks if you are in a sandy region.

Ice Troll
