In the eastern section of Dagori Inkarth, near the Nine Good Giants Mts, there lives a tribe of exiled Snow Trolls. These Uz believe that the the Ducks were once a tribe of humans, who refused to aid the Gods against Chaos and were cursed into their present form as a result. This tribe thinks it an honor for a lone troll to travel into Sartar, kill a duck, and return with the feathers made into a fan, or some other ornament. (Of course, not every troll comes back...)
This tribe also beleives that Baboons were once humans that refused to aid Wakboth, (the fleeing survivors were cursed). The nearby baboons are puzzled by this, as their on myths are different. But they haven't bothered to tell this to the trolls, as the trolls seem to feel honor bound to help them in times of need.
