History
| We are having a problem with a troll-hole in the Brown Hills. While I find the thought of those dwarves stumbling on the trolls vaguely amusing, this should make an adequate quest for you. |
| —Lord Aryad tasks Prince Haldric with driving the trolls out of the Brown Hills. |
To the north of the Brown Hills lay the Green Swamp; to the northwest, the Grey Woods; to the east, Dan'Tonk; and to the northeast, Gryphon Mountain.[1] Prior to the humans immigration to the Great Continent, the Brown Hills belonged to the elves according to a treaty with the dwarves. At one point, the dwarves did break their treaty by colonizing the Brown Hills,[2] but later returned to the north.[3]
A number of trolls resided in the caves of the Brown Hills, posing a problem for the elves. As a solution, Lord Aryad commissioned Prince Haldric with the clearing of one such cave in return for various plains and hills, including the Brown Hills themselves.[3] Haldric and his men traveled to the Brown Hills, engaged with trolls and giant spiders in battle, and slew the troll warriors therein.[4] As promised, the hills became the territory of the humans.[3] Some time thereafter, Ras-Tabahn converted one of the Brown Hills' caves into a laboratory where he researched necromancy and immortality.[5]
