Half-Trolls[edit | edit source]
Offspring between a Troll and a Human.[6] They are smaller,[7] but have the natural abilities of a Troll and are acknowledged by the System, thus being able to obtain Classes/Levels and Skills.
Behavior and Culture[edit | edit source]
The Trolls have their own language. There is a civilization of Trolls that live underground beneath the High Passes. They call themselves the Folk of Deep and Song, and their leadership is called the Heartbeat of the Mountain, or the Dulat. They preffer to be left alone and stay hidden.[8] There they are adept stonecrafters, making beautiful stone homes out of different stone patterns and decorated with minerals, and statues out of gemstones. They use magical quartz for lighting. But they have no means to forge metals and possess no metal besides what's looted. They farm mushroom and lichen. Cloth and hides are valuable to them.
Trolls use drums as weapons, taking advantage of their thicker eardrums and their regeneration healing any auditory damage to deafen their enemies. They are incorporated in their home defense through a series of carved tubes to make the sound echoe throughout the entire mountain, opening and closing them to manipulate the volume. It's used to disorient and distract invaders, and marshal the Trolls.
Trolls love raw potatoes.
They call species that can level as 'people' and those that cannot as 'folk'.[9]
History[edit | edit source]

Levelling Races[edit | edit source]
They generally refer to those that level as the Blessed People, which they regard as complex and confusing.[4] Trolls are classified as monsters by the other races, and there is even a bounty on them by the Adventure Guild. Although on Baleros, while rare sometimes, Troll tribes are able to ally with mercenary companies or enlist, joining what is known as Monster regiments.[10]
Demons[edit | edit source]
