High upon the peaks of the Troll King Mountains, the King himself watches over his frozen domain. His name is Oboros, the one for whom the mountains were named. His faithful are the ogre kind, the trolls and the giants. Even those such as goblins and orcs will follow him. Oboros promises feasts and plenty to his people; all at the expense of other races.

He preaches gluttony and theft, and that the self is most important. As such, many mortal bandits will also find his promises alluring. However, those who fail him once, rarely get the chance to do so again. He is sometimes more lenient with his favourite races…sometimes. Oboros is unpredictable and violent. Come spring, he sends his loyal followers down into the ravines of Aria and North Dalimar to prey upon the unwary travellers. It has been this way for centuries. Those who do not escape often end as his honoured dinner guests…brought to him as offerings by his followers.

The Troll King’s reach can also be felt in Alexandros; the Frost Burn Mountains are not without their share of Giants and Ogre Kind. Mab does not tolerate him, however, and dispatches her own servants to deal with his.
