XD when people are panicked they tend to reinterpret what they see, and it's also hard to accurately count how many people are in a crowd in a glance, your brain goes one, two, three, MANY. It was real dark for human eyes too so what they saw was a double row of troll faces waiting for them at the corner, and HOLY FUCK.

-Inland? Does that meant the surviving/dominant trolls (ie. not-zombies) are the seadwellers?
and nah, all the hemospectrum variations are out there, just so happens in this area of the map the trolls have most of the coast. S'a big world out there. I mean seatrolls are still socially dominant but they're still one of the smallest castes in pure numbers, the mother grubs' ratio hasn't changed.

Happy birthday, hon!
