Okay, let’s begin your adventure in Trollheim Alley!
- Setting Background: Trollheim Alley & Surrounding Lands
Trollheim Alley isn’t just a place; it’s a nexus, a tear in the fabric of reality where the veil between worlds is thin. Legend has it that centuries ago, during the Great Convergence, when magical energies surged across the land, this particular alleyway became a focal point. The Great Convergence was a period of immense magical upheaval, triggered by the collision of celestial bodies and the awakening of ancient, slumbering entities. It was a time of chaos and wonder, when magic bled into the mundane, and creatures of myth walked alongside humans.
Trollheim Alley sits nestled on the outskirts of the once-grand city of Eldoria, now a crumbling testament to a forgotten empire. Eldoria was famed for its mages, alchemists, and artificers, who harnessed the power of the Convergence to create wonders beyond imagination. But their hubris led to their downfall. The Troll Queen, a being of immense power and ancient malice, rose from the depths of the earth, drawn by the city’s magical signature. She laid siege to Eldoria, corrupting its magic and twisting its inhabitants into grotesque parodies of their former selves. Now, Eldoria is a haunted ruin, a shadow of its former glory, constantly plagued by the Troll Queen’s influence.
Trollheim Alley itself is a microcosm of this struggle. Its cobblestone streets twist and turn, defying logic and reason. Buildings lean at impossible angles, their windows like watchful eyes. The air crackles with residual magic, creating pockets of distorted reality. Some say that the alley is a living entity, constantly shifting and changing to trap those who dare to enter. It is a place where fortunes are made and lost, where secrets are whispered in the shadows, and where the unwary can easily become prey to the creatures that lurk within.
