-==Overview==
 Infamous for their tempers and berserking rages, Trolls are a sturdy, stalwart race, famed for their ability in battle. While it is rare to find a master scholar among the Trolls, the race excels in physical combat, augmenting their struggles with mastering magic by embracing a deep appreciation for weaponry and sheer strength. Originally created by the God Arion, Trolls are known for their loyalty, and can make fierce, sometime stubborn allies, and rarely abandon a goal once they have decided to achieve it. Trolls have several villages scattered across Sapience, with their main kingdom found in the ruins of Hashan, while a small enclave exists up north in Stormcaller Crag, the seat of the God Maghak who took the Troll king's body as a vessel for His creation. Physically, they are a large race with craggy features and large teeth, tending towards slender, yet muscular, builds, while their skin ranges from ruddy-orange to light green in hue.

-==Roleplay==
-Trolls can be a very fun race to play, either as a serious, stern warrior, devoted to combat, or as a more comical character type.
-'''Stereotypes:''' The race's assumed tendency towards low intelligence is a bit of a misnomer - while not natural scholars, they bear the same capacity of a Human's thought, only requiring more diligence in study in mental versus physical pursuits. Due to this, many Trolls default back to manual labour or martial training, as it plays to their strengths beyond what the other races can compete with.
-'''Culture:''' Trolls come from a history of good and bad - trickery and salvation - and with their redemption coming through a God of Truth, tend to form subcultures focused around a strict regulation and 'honour', even if this falls within a hierarchy of muscle and internal control.
-'''Language:''' Their jilted speech patterns in the common tongue come more from an issue of translation between language types than true stupidity, and typically converse more naturally in their native tongue. Their native tongue is layered with meaning, with words often clustering to express more depth and intention than can be otherwise cleanly communicated. There is a rough poetry to it, though it is greatly lost in translation, which leaves to many sources of miscommunication with other races.
-'''Physicality:''' Trolls trend being larger and more muscular (from the typical beefed out muscle builder to a true heavyweight lifting build) than other races, both for the men and women. They are most commonly earthy in colour - grey, brown, or greenish skin that is thick and leathery, coarse hair and lower incisors that eclipse their upper lips. They trend sharp, bold features, with craggy noses and high cheek bones - their concept of beauty being something that suggests strength and longevity rather than fragility or delicacy - sharp versus soft, strong versus agile.
-Overview: This conflict of speech structures can both build to a depth of roleplay of communication as well as forming the role for a burly, muscle-bound sort of comic relief. Conversely, a Troll can make an excellent stoic character, stalwart and stubborn in single-minded pursuit of his or her goals. Their predisposition for physical combat makes them ideal for a weapon-user, like a Carnifex, Templar, Teradrim, or Luminary, and their fame for strong constitutions make them ideal for a sheerly physical fighter, such as a lycanthrope, Daru or Sentaari monk.
