They are somewhat savage. Not very Tolkien-like, in that they have no real 'artifact-creating' civilization.  Dwarves are tied to the Earth rune. They are mountain-dwelling technologists. They invented gunpowder and use blunderbusses, etc. There are no orcs.  Trolls are humanoids tied to the Darkness rune. They vary the most from the 'stereotype' of most trolls. They are cruel and savage but they have reasons for being that way. They are the first created race, since they come from Darkness. In fact, they were created before almost anything else was and due to that fact they can eat anything that came after them. Trolls can actually survive on a diet of air and stones if needed.  'Goblins' are actually Trollkin, twisted, stupid, puny caricatures of trolls. They are born in multiple births due to a curse on the Troll race. Trolls treat them as slaves and food.</blockquote>
