This large area was once the domain of the Black Claw clan of najashanian. They had a fledgling society and had even built several villages deep within the bog. Considering its location, this should be regarded as quite a feat.

The najashanian dominated the small Salty Marsh clan of trolls, using them for the hard, back -breaking labor in building their structures. At some point in time something occurred in the najashanian society that to this day still remains a mystery. Whatever it is that happened, it triggered the demise of the najashanian and the emergence of the trolls as the new power on northern Enderal.

Since that change the trolls have formed a society ruled by the brute strength of the chief and the shamanic powers of the shamans, called kepacks. The troll's' society is quite fluid and often factional. At any one time there may be three to five trolls claiming the chief's position and each will have several kepacks backing them in their claim for the coveted but often life threatening position.

Over time the trolls have grown in numbers. The satyrs have watched them and begun preparing for conflict, knowing that one day these violent creatures will stop fighting with each other when a leader finally comes forth who can rule them under an iron fist and wield them as a weapon, and that when this happens the satyrs will be the obvious target.
