| - | '''Trolls''' are the third species created by [[Anilis]] and [[Senilis]]. The trolls are mortal, and because of this, the [[Elf|elves]] tried to destroy them, in order to "correct" their [[God|gods']] failures. In the end, all they were able to do is to drive the trolls further north. Their present homeland, wherever it is, is close enough to the [[Ensigerum]] village for encounters to occur, usually with disastrous results for the trolls. They hate fire.

| - | According to [[Paul]], who fills [[Anita]] in on troll matters following the skirmish with [[Warrel]] and [[Sara Amraphel]], trolls have a surprisingly sophisticated belief system that links body and soul more strongly than in some other religions, hence the trolls' practice of cannibalism. Paul also surmises that the wandering trolls were displaced from their tribal lands by actions of the [[Veracian Church]], which persuaded the army of [[Veracia]] to make a raid in response to trumped-up charges of troll aggression. (Trumped-up? So the modern troll is actually ''peaceful''? Who woulda thunkit...)

| - | Trolls have a rudimentary level of technology, with crude swords and bows and arrows. They don't seem opposed to using plain old fang and claw, though. According to [[Sarine Elle | Sarine]], they eat humans and other opportune bits of protein; however, it probably came as a surprise to her that they also eat [[Paedagogusi]] when given the chance, as happened to [[Kawaii]]. (The result: scorched troll, one of those little tidbits that suggests there's more to the Paedagogusi than meets the eye.) They appear to have some capacity to use magic as evidenced by the middle figure [http://www.errantstory.com/archive.php?date=2003-09-01 here], but no details of their ability are known.
