Tall, muscular, and lean, these creatures are greatly feared by the forces of Unity. The sight of their sharp angular faces, hard greenish skin, and burning eyes are nearly enough to send even a hardened soldier running. While they have great strength and physical endurance, trolls prefer to use their cunning to make the first kill and then close in for an attack. The only real limitation the trolls have is their lack of skill in magic use. A superstitious people, they distrust anything that deals with magic, believing that a good weapon is always best.

The problem with fighting a troll doesn't lie just in its strength and cunning but in the fact that its skin is hard, much like leather armor. That, and their natural ability to regenerate from wounds. No one knows the limitations that this regeneration process has but it has been noted that they can reattach limbs in a matter of seconds.

Trolls don't have many weaknesses, but knowing them is key to defeating these creatures. The first and easy weakness to put to use is how trolls are affected by the time of day or more exactly the sun. Their weakness to the suns light causes them to slowly weaken as it nears noon, when they are at their weakest. However, this also works in reverse, after noon they slowly gain strength until midnight after which it wanes again. The second weakness is fire, either natural or magically generated flames. Their skin itself isn't so much hurt by flames but fire is the only thing that has been known to halt their ability to regenerate. If a limb is hacked off and the stump or severed limb seared with fire it has no way of being reattached or grown back. The last of the weaknesses is druidic magic. Trolls are fairly new creatures, in relation to the other races, created by the Nameless One and given her dark gifts.
