Kithbook: Trolls is a sourcebook for Changeling: The Dreaming. It is the first in the series of sourcebooks covering each of the commoner kiths.
Summary[]
From the White Wolf catalog:
- Truth, Honor, Justice
- It is for these things that trolls stand for above all else. Silent and strong, the trolls are often looked upon as the protectors of fae kind. They serve the sidhe as warrors and knights, never questioning their place in Kithain society. Yet some say it was not always so... once it was the trolls who ruled the kingdoms of the fae, and some say they will yet again. For now the trolls continue their silent vigil - watching... waiting.
- Kithbook: Troll features:
- The history of the trolls, from their ancient war with the sidhe to modern day;
- Extensive details on troll society and their many orders;
- New Merits and flaws available only to troll characters.

Background[]
The runic text used as chapter titles is a relatively straightforward transliteration of English, albeit with the rune thorn (ᚦ) standing in for the digraph "th" and elhaz (ᛉ) standing in for the letter "r" instead of the more common raidho (ᚱ). Additionally, the character used to stand in for the letter "y" is not a rune.
