The Trollsbay is the center part of Noruin in Aelantir, named after early explorers using divination magic noticed the central bay's shape resembled the head of a troll. It is known for its highly strategic location and being the focus of many colonization efforts.
As all of Noruin, its lands are in-between the Cliffs of Ruin in the north-west and the Ruined Sea in the south-east.
It borders Reaper's Coast in the south and the Bloodgroves in the east. All the natural passages leading to the Ynnic plateau are located in the Trollsbay.
History[]
Home to various Boek tribes brought there by their legendary ancestor Imar'el, the region suffered frequent incursions from the south by Cheshoshi raiders, and sometimes from the east by lost Bloodfeeders.
With the Rediscovery of Aelantir various colonists from Cannor and Bulwar settled into the region, eventually forming the eponymous Trollsbay Concord.
It would later become a hotbed for the spread of Ravelianism in Aelantir.
Economy[]
The region is a mixture of highly urbanized cities around the bay itself and farms and plantations in the countryside. It is also home to both the Lady Isobel estuary and the Ynn estuary. Much of North Aelantir's trade flows either downriver through the Cliffs of Ruin or up the coast towards its ports.
Persistent rumors[]
The Trollsbay is known for its frequency of particularly strange, or frankly unexplainable eldritch events. Some sources credit it to sinister influences and higher powers, or even the Dark Descendants, while others point out none of these rumors have ever been proved.
