In
Gloranthan mythology, the
Troll Goddess.
Troll religion is essentially
ancestor worship; trolls consider themselves great-great-
great-grandchildren of the
primal Demons of Darkness. When the
Man Rune was created, the Darkness spirit Kyger Litor came forth to
mate with him, and thus founded the race of
Trolls. When
murdered
Yelm came to Hell, Kyger Litor led the trolls out of the
hateful burning Light, to the surface world, where they conquered and terrorised and killed. When
Chaos came, Kyger Litor was one of the greatest
warriors against the
universal threat. She was
cursed by Chaos, and now most troll births are
stunted,
puny things called
trollkin.
Trolls can eat anything, even
air and
stone, and they
prey heartily on other sapient races. Kyger Litor forbids killing other trolls for
food, but trollkin are
fair game if they cannot make themselves
otherwise useful.
