Trolls come in many shapes and sizes, their appearance being as diverse as their nature. Living very long lives, Trolls have the outlook that in time things will work out. They usually don't see a need to change since time and again things revert back to the way they were. They are strong and heal so quickly that it is said that to actually kill a Troll they must be totally dismembered. Highly magical, there are rumors that Trolls were created long ago by a mad wizard. While being slow learners, they can with time become very powerful mages. Trolls are very near sighted, the result of living in the dark swamps and caves that they often spend their lives in. It is sometimes wondered if the trolls live in the swamps because of a lack of a desire to leave or if they have hidden themselves so deeply that they have forgotten the way back.
