Brief Backstory:
Vod’arr, readers!
My Name is Kun’dal’in (translated “keel of the ship” in Throalic). I’m an elf no’a’g’ral (adoptive clan member) of the Iceclaw g’ral (or clan) [Hex 41.07]. Since many of you are likely not trolls, let me explain that Vod’arr is a typical troll greeting, roughly translated into Throalic as “I see you.”
My family had sheltered from the Scourge in Kaer Bright Hope [Hex 42.06] in the Throal Mountains, along with other elves, dwarves and humans. The Kaer opened when I was still a child and was beginning to re-establish a village with farming and crafts,
Then the Iceclaw clan appeared. One night just before dawn, three drakkars appeared in the skies and raiding trolls leaped out to take whatever goods they could find in the village. Some of the villagers fought, and died. Others, like my parents, surrendered, recognizing the futility of protest. In the end, the trolls returned to their moot with plenty of foodstuffs and goods, and a large number of villagers to serve them as newots (or slaves captured by raiding).
Once in the troll moot, my parents made it clear to my brother and me that this was our new home, that we were to treat the trolls just as we had the villagers back in Bright Hope. Not knowing any better, we buried the nightmares of that dawn raid, and did as we were told. Over time, it became second nature. The troll children were remarkably accepting, happy to have new playmates and friends. So before long, we were immersed in our new home, troll culture and language, and learning to live as trolls. The adaptability of children allowed us to reframe the world, becoming truly a part of the Iceclaw g’ralnakh (or family).
As I grew older, every moment I could get, I’d watch the trolls sparring and wrestling, building their prowess at martial arts. Soon I was cheering on the trolls, and they began noticing me, laughing nearly every time they said my name, “Buttercup,” the Throalic translation of the sperethiel name Loreluna, “gentle flower.” I didn’t care, so long as I could watch the sparring. I even got pulled into sparring with some of the troll children, but always got soundly thrashed.
One season, I snagged a sought-after position on Ice Dragon, one of the clan’s drakkars: cleaning, cooking, occasionally helping with repairs. It was heaven! Flying among the clouds, feeling the wind on my face, I loved every minute of it.
My parents are both skilled artisans. My mother specializes in weaving and has improved the sail fabric of the clan’s drakkars, so that they can fly faster. My father put his wood carving skills to use working on the clan’s drakkars, carving embellishments and integral parts. I have always loved watching my father’s hands shape the wood and I have learned that skill as well. Because of their contributions to the clan, my parents, my younger brother, and I were welcomed into the clan as no’a’g’ral, to become members of the clan, no longer newots.
Eventually, I began feeling a connection to a few of the troll fighters. Soon I learned that these were all Sky Raider adepts. One of them, Modrin, began taking an interest in me, offering me casual advice on sparring opponents, asking me about why I was fighting and watching the fighting. Eventually, I asked to be trained as a Sky Raider and Modrin agreed.
At my tarr’a’on (or Naming ritual), I, who was the elven girl Named Buttercup, took the Name Kun’dal’in as my adult, troll Name. Kun’dal’in is a euphemism for “strength” in Trollish. Modrin spent a lot of time teaching me about jar’arak (troll philosophy). One of the basic tenets is that a Troll’s strength — of mind, of body, of katorr (or personal honor) — are of utmost importance. So I chose this Name to remind myself constantly of this teaching. I tend to introduce myself as “Keel”, unless it’s to a group of trolls. No’a’ul (non-trolls) can never pronounce Trollish words properly, and I hate to see the language butchered.
Now that I’ve passed the first hurdle and am now a Sky Raider adept, Modrin advised that it was time to gain independence, to see something of the wider world. So, I’ve left my altrua’agoral (or troll moot) to learn more about the world and to grow in experience. My first stop is Throal, where the chief’s second son, Lazulin, is now based. I hope to find him there and perhaps even help him accomplish his goals.
