Troll Armour

This post is directed at all you persistent characters who continue to pester me for information concerning troll armour. I hope this satisfies you, for the time being at least. There will of course be more to tell in the future but this knowledge is not easy to obtain and often requires dangerous adventuring in unwholesome surroundings.

Up first (above) is a troll from the Pine Mountain clan who, as some of us already know, are in league with several unholy covens in the Big Hill country north of Gwelf. These trolls fashion their own armour from discarded cauldrons and other metal implements used by the witches in their day to day brewing and potion mixing. These objects, tainted with centuries of infernal associations and dark magic spell casting are infused with a strong projectile defeating strength and defensive power. As long as the troll is in service to the coven his armour will remain strong and true. Each suit is hand made by the wearer and contains his own unique properties and design aesthetic.

Up next (below) is what we often refer to as root armour and in this particular case an old willow stump has be fused with an iron breast plate to form a single piece of torso protecting armour.  This type of armour has two common purposes. Firstly, the stump and roots make excellent hand holds for goblins who may be riding along to aid the troll in his common daily routines. A couple of nasty little accomplices can make mundane work such as perimeter patrols, ambushes or hunting and gathering forays go a lot easier. And secondly, the willow wood itself is  highly favoured by witches for it's ability to channel mind controlling spells. Wearing this wooden armour will therefore render the troll into a perfect slave and essentially make him a remote drone doing the covens bidding and defending it's territory. Also, wearing a tree stump on his back tends to enhance the troll's already considerably intimidating appearance.

That's all I have for now, Cheers everyone and peace be with you.
