Trollclaws

The Trollclaws was a region of troll-infested hills along the Sword Coast.
==Geography==
The Trollclaws lay along the northern edge of the Fields of the Dead. Both the Winding Water and the Coast Way ran through the area.
===Geographical Features===
The region often seemed shrouded in mist, and was characterized by steep, grassy hills, and dense foliage.
==Trade==
Many caravans and other travelers passed through the Trollclaws by virtue of the Coast Way passing through the region. Caravans typically used around twenty armed guards when making the trip.
==Rumors & Legends==
Exactly why trolls seemed to thrive in the area was unknown, fueling conversation around many a campfire. At any rate, travelers were advised to avoid the Trollclaws if at all possible.
==Notable Locations==
* Trollclaw Ford: a ford where the Coast Way crossed the Winding Water. Several attempts were made to settle near the ford, but all ended in ruin.
* The legendary Eye Tyrant Xroon maintained a lair in the northern Trollclaws, where he left an ithrim for other beholders to compete over through the Vellurith game.
==Inhabitants==
The Trollclaws were home to a seemingly inexhaustible population of trolls. Repeated attempts by mercenaries and adventuring bands to clear the area seemed to have little effect. A colony of these trolls regularly communicated with the trolls that inhabited the Trollbark Forest in the east.
