Trolls



Long ago, near the beginning of the unicorn riders, the unicorns were only willing to bond with orcs and make the jump to unicorn and rider. In an attempt to join the ranks of these legendary warriors, the elves started to mate with orcs so that their children could become riders. This gave birth to the trolls, half elf half orc who paved the way for the unicorns to bond with all races, effectively tripling the strength of the unicorn riders. The trolls soon grew to love wide open spaces. Their arms are long with respect to their body, this makes wielding the poleaxe, their weapon of choice, significantly easier. The trolls fell on hard times after the fall of the unicorn riders, which was quickly followed by the fall of the the dragons and the dropping of ogres on the land they had settled. A long and brutal war ensued, which ultimately ended in a great exodus of trolls from the highlands. All trolls are brought up to hate the ogres for stealing their ancestral home. A mixture of elf and orc, massive muscles, pointed ears, greenish to bluish skin, sharp facial features, often fair to look upon.
