Trolls (CTL)

Trolls are one of the sub-types of the Ogre seeming. These changelings are manipulative grotesqueries. Theirs is the blessing of Unyielding Voice.

Overview

In Nordic myths and fairy tales, trolls are certainly ogrish — tall, featuring exaggerated and grotesque features, sharp teeth and cruel hunters. But trolls are more than that. They’re not hunters, instead choosing to wait and hide in places (in barrow mounds, deep inside caverns, beneath bridges) and then trick victims with riddles and double-talk. While many trolls are strong, they’re often savvy, capricious, consumed of a kind of subterranean cunning.
