Trolls
General
Troll Info
Descendants of ape-like creatures, they too were in the Palace of the High Ones when it crashed on the World of Two Moons. They took to any caves and tunnels in any mountain range. Over the centuries they have evolved and changed much like the elves have. Any relations with elves can be from out right conflict to grudging respect and good trade relations.
Trolls are big, burly, ugly and materialistic. They have a genius for crafts, forging, and jewelry-making (yes, Dreamberry Wine falls under Crafts). Their natures depend on each individual tribe, ranging from extremely violet and war-like to cowardly and conniving.
The Brightmetal Trolls are fairly reclusive creatures. They go about their lives, many without concern for the world outside their tunnels and caverns. Their caverns are a network of caves and tunnels. The only actual Troll work that is noticeable, are the tunnels they have dug searching for gems and ores. So, caverns and caves are still fairly natural except for shelves and cubbies that a troll may have carved when they took up residence in a particular cave.
The Troll complex is haphazard at best, a confusing maze at worst. Only the trolls truly know where every tunnel leads or dead ends. An outsider would be lost within a few passage turns.
The Brightmetal Trolls are only 96 members strong. They once had trade relations with the Catriders, but have lost contact with them when they were wrapped in webbing.
Brightmetal Male Trolls
Troll males tend to do the hardest labors from digging tunnels to forging brightmetal. For the most part, the males of Brightmetal are cautious, not cowardly. They will have no problems quickly taking up arms to defend horde, home and loved ones. Most males also aim to build themselves the largest horde ever.
Brightmetal Female Trolls
Generally most female trolls have, to varying degrees, all the maidenly virtues: greed, deception, opportunism, manipulative ness, coyness, vanity, and fickleness. For many they are nothing more then adornment for their men, and hearth keepers, although there are, of course, the rare odd exceptions.
Brightmetal Mumps
Like children everywhere, they are curious, mischievous, serious, spoiled, devil may cares, helpful, pranksters, always in trouble, and wondering what the adults are making such a fuss about at most given times. The personality of the mump will be dependant on the temperament and upbringing of each child.
Male Troll Occupations
Occupations that are specific to the males of Brightmetal are thus:
Weapons Crafters, Non-Metal Crafters (handles to weapons and tools, ect), Tool Crafters, Miners, Guards/Protectors, and of course there is always one King.
Female Troll Occupations
Occupations that are specific to the females of Brightmetal are:
Hearth Keeper (generally for a male relative or mate), King’s Harem, Weaving, and Mump Sitting.
Occupations Shared by Both
Then there are those occupations both sexes can do equally well:
Herbal Lore, Gem Cutting, Jewelry Making, Wine Making, and Farming/Gardening.
