". . . And the Trolls shall inherit the Earth."

There's a twist no one was expecting. On the other had, the trolls eventually take over most useful Internet political discussions.
History celebrates the battlefields whereon we meet our death, but scorns to speak of the plowed fields whereby we thrive; it knows the names of kings’ bastards but cannot tell us the origin of wheat. This is the way of human folly. --- Henry Fabre

The skin tone puzzles me. I thought that when we saw a troll (well, half troll) rendered in color, her skin was nut-brown. Why is it green here? Just for effect? Racial differences among trolls? PLEASE tell me it wasn't because Poe screwed up...

Trolls, who elves embarked a campagn of genicide against ages ago, beliving them to be a 'mistake of the gods', were not the mistake.

/Elves/ were the mistake.

Shit.

Info dump:
Skin pigmentation for Trolls general ranges from green to brown or something between the two shades. Muddy reds (and reddish browns) are also possible, though more uncommon. Regardless of initial pigmentation, all Trolls slowly become a mottled grey as they reach advance ages. (Frankly I really should had desaturated the hands in the image a bit to show this, since the character isn't exactly suppose to be a spring chicken) Hair coloration is normally dark greens, dark browns, or black, although in some tribes it is fashionable to bleach their hair to a reddish tint. (how they do this is better left not talked about).

Although Troll's possess impressive natural regenerative capabilities, they still scar from injuries as normal, and their healing abilities sharply decline as they reach old age.(elder warrior trolls tend to end looking like walking masses of scar tissue) Troll medicine and healing magics take this regeneration into account and tend to focus on getting the injured troll to a point where his own natural healing process can take over without problem rather than directly dealing with the injury. Because of this, their medicine/healing magic tend to be spectacularly bloody affairs that would probably outright kill most other races.

And that was Poe with your weekly dose of exposition!
