“Well, Gort, they’re finally telling about us trolls the way Uz really are!”
“It makes me proud, Basher! Sure us Uz is tough, and smart, and cultured, but we is also reverent, and decent, and we’re good to children who deserver it.”
“We always eat our vegetables, too”
“Us trolls is the greatest race. It’s important to keep fit.”
“I sure like Lisa Free’s drawings of us – there’s 16 of ’em here.”
“And 200 pages of text, handouts, and scenarios, and a map of Dagori Inkarth, a trollball field, and more than 40 maps, charts, and diagrams. Everything anybody would like to know about us.”
