The Trollfells

The Trollfells are a group of mountain ranges, and their surrounding foothills and the rugged highland valleys between them, extending up into Um-Gerat from Shiankar’s northern edge. Their ominous name is well-deserved, for many of their wild dales and slopes hide the dens of loathsome predatory trolls, posing a real threat to unwary travelers. 
Even those areas free of trolls are only sparsely populated, for the cold, rainy climate, together with the landscape of stony hills and wind-raked moors, lends itself to little besides the raising of tough upland sheep. Only a relatively narrow strip of coastal plain lies between the northernmost foothills of the Trollfells and the Bay of Bronna’s rocky strand. The massif of the Trollfells lies between the wider, and much more densely inhabited, coastal lowlands or river basins of XXXXXX and XXXXXX to the east and west, respectively.
