Trollblood

Trollbloods resemble small trolls without the hunched back. Their skin tone can range from a deep blue to pale white. Unlike the oily hair of their more savage ancestors Trollblood hair ranges from jet black to bright orange, which they carefully groom and braid. While they do not try to eat everything like their less civilized kin, their metabolism forces them to eat much more than other races.   History Many Trollblood claim to be decedents of Heimdall, a fabled hero in the Southern Tribes who was said to have killed the leader of a band of Trolls with his bare hands and took his place, waging raids against the rest of Midgard and even into the Feywild. Heimdall then was chosen by Asagrim and ascended to godhood after his passing and arrival at Valhalla. He now stands watch over the bridge, being called the Guardian of the Bifrost Bridge. Many scholars claim that Trollbloods in fact come out of necessity. In the cold realms where survival is difficult some trolls hired themselves out to human clans, offering their might for food. Over the years the clans intermingled with the trolls until centuries down the line, a race with the regeneration of trolls but the sharp minds of humans was born.   Society Trollbloods usually live in tribes in Trollheim, other members of these tribes include humans, Kenku, Dýrvera... Most of the Trollbloods stay in Trollheim and have taken on a more trolllike appearance through their use of blood magic and voodooism becoming Noita Trollbloods. The Trollbloods that go north when they are young or are born away from Trollheim and live in colder climates, rejecting their heritage, take on a more humanlike appearance and grow larger, becoming Minna Trollbloods. Both clans were divided after the High Priest Wondsami used a forbidden blood magic ritual, sacrificing 10 children of chieftains in secret, having kidnapped them, against the will of the other tribes to win the war against the dwarves from Völundsgard. This resulted in all but the strongest dwarves that step foot in Trollheim to sicken and die very quickly. The negative energy permeated the land, converting Trollheim more into a swamp. The Minna Clan were against the High Priest completing this ritual, and decided to leave Trollheim forever, preferring the colder climes to the north.   Trollblood Names Trollblood names are divided into three parts.
