In a move that surprises no one familiar with the cyclical nature of troll diplomacy, the leaders of the Northern and Eastern Troll Clans have once again found themselves at the negotiating table. This time, the discussions are centered around a proposed 30-day ceasefire, brokered by the ever-optimistic Human mediators from the Southern Kingdoms.
The Northern Troll Chief, Grumthor Rockhide, has expressed a willingness to halt hostilities, provided the Eastern Clan agrees to the terms laid out by the Humans. Meanwhile, the Eastern Troll Leader, Mogmar Stonefist, remains suspiciously silent, likely contemplating how to twist this ceasefire to his advantage.

Not to be left out, the Western Trolls, led by the cunning Thragna Ironclaw, have offered to send their own warriors as “peacekeepers” to monitor the truce. Because nothing ensures peace like introducing more trolls with clubs into a volatile situation.
In other news, the Southern Trolls have decided to take this opportunity to raid the undefended mushroom farms of the Midlands, proving once again that while the diplomats talk, the opportunists walk—away with your mushrooms.
And so, the grand dance of troll diplomacy continues, with each clan pretending to care about peace while sharpening their axes under the table. One can only hope that this ceasefire lasts longer than the previous one, which, if memory serves, was broken over a disputed barrel of ale.
