Trolls
Trolls are creatures of Sognian legend. Though there were a few accounts of sightings from early Settlers, the Scholars' Guild never verified them. As of today, no Scholar has ever encountered one of these creatures, nor found credible evidence of their existence.
Trolls are said to live deep in wild places, particularly in the heavily forested regions just south of the Northern Range. They are humanoid in appearance, with wrinkled, leathery skin. Their bodies are said to be clothed by the living things of the forests, like mushrooms, leaves, bark, and rock. The Sogni give conflicting reports of their nature. In some stories, they are tricksters, leading travelers into trouble or cursing them. In others, they bestow magical gifts and blessings.
It is believed by the Sogni that they dwell in places near waterfalls and springs. When Sogni travel through areas that Trolls are believed to inhabit, they leave an offering of flowers as a sign of respect. Though they are reveared as guardians of wild places, the Sogni believe no attempt at contact with them should ever be made.
