• Description: This book explains how trolls were not always mindless brutes. In fact, it appears that they had originally studied magic and used kith silk to make cloth. The author of this book, presumably the last civilised troll, awakens from a "sleeping disease" after a long time (similiar to Demolition Man) to find that everything has changed. The trolls have degenerated to rag-wearing cave-dwellers who eat human children. The author rescues a human child and intends to take her back to the human city. The story continues in Captain's report.
