Hi Guys, Just a couple of quick comments regarding Troll economies and the need to import food... 1] We know that Troll Caravans cross from Guhan to Halikev, therefore an economy certainly exists in some form. 2] I don't think it relates to food sources though...in the original Trollpak there was an interesting series of drawings showing how troll communities "moved" - the slum "sprawl" changed - depending upon food availability/sources. Perhaps Troll "cities" are not as fixed as we assume. Perhaps the Temple/Shrine/Cave complex is fixed but the population fluctuates in a wildly, and inhuman, manner. A different concept of "home" is required. 3] Also in Trollpak: Uz = "The Folk" [Neither masculine nor Feminine] Perhaps Trolls are more concerned with community [!] than we realize...and less concerned with Male/Female semantic issues?
