    Trolls

    The trolls are a faction consisting of three primary members: Jotun, Who Parts Limbs, Fjorn-Kosef, Who Knits The Icy Lattice, and Haggabah, Who Plies The Umbral Path. The troll foals produced by them are also considered a part of the trolls faction.

    This faction is unique in that its members are interested in trading secrets about "storied items". Performing the water ritual with any one of it's three primary members allows the player to learn the location of such storied items, including Stopsvalinn, Ruin of House Isner, and Kindrish. The player must have the appropriate reputation to exchange. The player can also inform the trolls of these secrets if they have already learned them, in order to gain reputation with the faction. Notably, this is the only way to learn the whereabouts of Kindrish under normal circumstances.

    Players start the game with a very low reputation with trolls, causing them to begin hostile to the player. A significant investment in raising this reputation value is required to pacify the trolls, and even more to be able to trade secrets with them.

    Tips

    This section is opinion-based. Your mileage may vary.

    If you have the Tactful skill, using two love injectors will allow you to water ritual the first two trolls to become neutral with them, and then water ritual the third without the use of an injector. This will leave just enough reputation to purchase one secret. Note that you will need to water ritual Haggabah, which can be tricky, please view his page for details on how to do so.

    If you wish to acquire all three relics they hint to, you will need to find one of the relics first so you can trade its secret for reputation (and that reputation for a secret). It will usually be easiest to locate the Ruin of House Isner, as Stopsvalinn can only be reliably located by befriending the Snapjaws, and Kindrish is only hinted by the trolls themselves.

    Alternatively, if you do not wish to hunt a relic down first, you can use a Schrodinger page from the Annals of Qud or two, if you can acquire them.
