The Trollshaws are a wild, rocky highland region lying between Bree and Rivendell, north of the Great East Road. The hills are sparsely inhabited and treacherous — the Trollshaws are best known as the territory where Trolls roam freely and where Bilbo Baggins and the dwarves were famously ambushed by Bert, Bill, and Tom.

Geography

The Trollshaws stretch east from the Last Bridge over the River Hoarwell to the ford of Rivendell. The terrain consists of boulder-strewn moorland, dense thickets, and ravines. Beneath the hills lies the vast cave-system known as the Warrens, which serves as the home base of the Troll population.

In MUME

The Trollshaws are challenging territory and not recommended for players below level 16. Even experienced adventurers must exercise caution.

• Player Trolls begin their lives in the Warrens beneath the Trollshaws.
• The region contains aggressive mobs suited for mid-to-high level players.
• Warrens Tower sits nearby as a strategic point for dark-side players.
