Dark Troll

Dark Trolls is one of the minor races of Malona.

Characteristics
They have the same characteristics of any troll you may have played in WC3 or in WoW. However they are not like those kind of trolls, they are a different breed with different traits, they do not live in huge castles or villages. They live in tribes, in the lands of Tal'Shir. They are not all hostile, or deadly, most are passive to other races. Prefering to keep to themselves then to mingle with the other races. They are a trivial nation, still using simple technology over the modernized technology of the other Races of Malona. They usually stand about 6'8 or above, and can vary from a stocky, bulky, or average build. Most carry some sort of piercing on their face. They have a long arm reach, and never carry heavy armor, prefering leather or cloth. They live in huts or in the trees, never leaving their area for long. When they kill an animal they do not waste a single part of it, taking all of it, so that their gods may grant the animal back to the land.

History
The Dark Trolls were not always Dark Trolls, they were forest Trolls of Tal'Shir, however when the Dragonwars began and the Dragonlord called for all of Malona's loyalty, they were near the first to answer his call, and were blessed with a power beyond imagine. Turning them into what is now known as the Dark Trolls. During the Dragonwars, they were the main cause of why Brightstone and Tal'Shir elves missed most of the main battles with the Dragonlords Armies, leaving the Dale and Stonegrave to fight alone against the Morass, Blazewood, and Blackrock. They were a ruthless band of Trolls, using poisons and guerilla warfare to thin the enemies armies before striking at them. The Dark Trolls however were no match for both Brightstone and Tal'Shir, being held back, and eventually their chieftan murdered at the hands of an elf, has caused the Dark Trolls to remain in a fitful peace, now passive to all, so that the horrors of the Dragonwar could not be reborn. They however await for the Dragonlord's return so that they can exact revenge on the elves for the death of their people, and the destructions of their homes.
