Lore

Trolls haunt the mountains, caves, and deep wilderness of Scandinavian folklore as ancient beings tied to the raw power of the earth itself. Some were described as massive giants capable of shattering stone, while others lurked in forests as cunning and dangerous predators. Sunlight was often said to turn them to stone, forcing them to hide within darkness and mist. Travelers feared lonely roads and mountain passes where Trolls were believed to ambush the unwary, dragging victims into the depths of forgotten caverns beneath the hills.
