The Trollkin

The Trollkin
Hideous to behold, the vicious trollkin are offspring of the various monsters that inhabit Iskandarr (most frequently trolls, hence their name) and any of the fairer races.

Despised by most and frequently driven away from civilized lands and monstrous territories alike, trollkin live a nomadic and wandering existence. Too different to be accepted by their monstrous parents and too horrifying to ever find a place among men'u, tama or aelan, the majority of trollkin serve as traveling bounty hunters, warriors, bodyguards or cheap labourers. Most trollkin nonetheless possess a powerful will to survive and seek to thrive in the harsh wilderness of Iskandarr, where strength and will mean a great deal.

Towering and heavy-set, trollkin often possess a poor posture, sometimes to the point of having their knuckles drag along the ground. Their small eyes are close set and often of a red or yellow colouration, but sometimes show other hues, depending on their lineage. Their thick, leathery skin is cracked, ridden with stretch-marks and pockmarked with scars, bony growths, boils. Trollkin possess thick, powerful jaws and teeth, and often can chew through rocks, wood and metal with ease.

Many trollkin tend to disdain too much decoration, but like to have some memorabilia of defeated foes, including bone necklaces and bracelets. Trollkin also tend to take pride in their work and equipment, and often maintain it to a very high standard.

Trollkin are nomadic and drift from town to town, or live in the wilderness.
