Trolls often find it hard to understand the motives and actions of other races. From their perspective other races tend to have the wrong priorities and a backwards way of thinking. Thus other races are commonly considered peculiar and unpredictable. Their standing with the spirits is unclear, and caution should therefore be used when dealing with them. There is much bad blood between the Oukra trolls and the Arwondel humans. The humans were in the days of the Barinorr Empire accused of kidnapping and enslaving troll children. The trolls responded by scourging the countryside of Loldar, Torindal and Gotanvir, leaving death in their wake. The humans are also blamed for the dividing of Oukra Woods. This was an event that made many trolls homeless, and forced several tribes to migrate to the Sarmoor Swamp. These happenings have earned the humans a reputation of being greedy and treacherous. The trolls of Sarmoor and Gordawir have faired much better in their relationships with the humans. Although not entirely friendly, contact with the Emerald Bay villages have been peaceful. The Gordawir trolls lead withdrawn lives in mountain caves and rarely see other races. The trolls of Sarmoor seldom receive visitors, but are known to stray farther from home, and therefore have a wider repertoire of experiences with other races. The Arwondel trolls, descendants of trolls brought to slavery, have lost much of their cultural identity during their slow integration into human society. They view their nature-bound kin with respect, but their lifestyle is said to belong to a foreign distant past. A few trolls have returned however, and they act as a bridge between the city and rural trolls. This has unexpectedly stimulated trade with the Oukra trolls particularly, and several tribes have earned the reputation of being providers of quality furs.
