Trolls
prefer the company of their tribe, especially
when they are hunting or eating. They sometimes
play simple games to pass time, using bone parts
or rocks as pieces. Trolls enjoy periods of solitude
as well, and it is common for trolls to wander
their domain alone to feel the presence of the
spirits and nature.
At celebrations and special gatherings the trolls
dance, sing and drum. Storytelling has a strong
tradition among the trolls, and tales are often
the highlight of any troll gathering. Trollish
storytelling is more of a performance act than
mere narration, where the storyteller and audience
together relive previous events or act out future
ones, such as historic occurrences or upcoming
hunts. The story often involves the crowd, and
the partakers mantle their role to such extent
that they often believe they are the persona they
are portraying. These events sometimes turn bad,
especially for those who portray the enemy who
may suffer curses or beatings. Afterwards this
is commonly blamed on the confusing malice of
the spirits.
