	Norse mythology
		Against the gods were arrayed the iotnar, (singular: iotunn or Jotun), the Titans and Gigantes of Norse mythology, generally translated as "giants", although "trolls" and "demons" have been suggested as suitable alternatives.
		The gods, aware of this, were gathering the finest warriors to fight on their side when the day came, but in the end they would be powerless to prevent the world from descending into the chaos out of which it had once emerged; the gods and their world would be destroyed.
		The gods lived in a place called Asgard, the location of which is unclear but which might have been located in the sky, since it was reached by means of the rainbow (the Bifrost bridge).

	BookPage Interview October 2004: Nancy Farmer
		In her latest novel, The Sea of Trolls, Farmer ushers readers into an exciting, unpredictable world to sail the high seas and explore mysterious landscapes in the company of great Norsemen, trolls, an eerily knowledgeable crow and an enormous wild boar with magical powers, among other fantastical beings.
		Farmer says September 11 also influenced her as she wrote The Sea of Trolls.
		The combination of mythology and Farmer's imagination is a powerful one; whether detailing Jack's attempt to please the angry Olaf or describing the physiognomy of the eight-foot-tall trolls—strong women with sharp wits and mind-reading abilities—the story is exciting and filled with more than enough surprises to ensure enthusiastic page-turning.

	phil ringnalda dot com: A foolish consistency
		But today's "trolls" are a different breed; the original generation of Slashdot (and kuro5hin) trolls have long since gone away over the Sea, leaving only half-hearted imitators and incessant crapflooders, of which the GNAA are good examples.
		What would be interesting, in my opinion, would be a "meeting of the minds" of sorts; the MT community (and bloggers in general) are currently facing, for the first time, one of the major problems that's plagued sites like Slashdot and k5 for a while.
		So, the Slashdot trolls turned Movable Type crapflooders got themselves a front page post at Kuro5hin.

		I'll give you three guesses: is it Sea of Japan, Moscow river or Vättern lake?
		Yes, because I mean, in Russia, you're one of the biggest - or the biggest pop- and rock band.

	Horde (Warcraft) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	Discworld Intro
		Inspection of residual magic in deep sea rocks and very old trolls suggests that it was also around this time that the Discworld first changed its direction of spin, a phenomenon that appears to occur every hundred thou-sand years or so, possibly for the comfort of the elephants.
		It was the second, smaller continent of Lauragatea which, some thirty million years before the present, lost the even smaller and deeply mysterious continent known only as XXXX, which wandered off by itself (according to Borass) in search of the geographical equivalent of a cool drink.
		The (unnamed) continent of which the STO PLAINS and the Ramtops are a major feature: this stretches all the way to the Hub and finishes, at least in the area of Ankh-Morpork, at the CIRCLE SEA.

	Russia - Uncyclopedia
		A pathetic nation of Liffwania, made up of half-blood Photorobots who mixed with forest trolls, were extremely envious of the Russians, and called them "Ruskynas", "Piderastynas" or "Burliokynas" in the weird Upper Paleolithic language of forest trolls, banking on the fact that no one understood it anyway.
		Part of this plan was actually carried out, but as soon as the Neorusso Sea iced over, nobody could tell the difference, except for some angry giraffes, which have since attempted to form their own branch of the Russian tree, though they have not yet succeeded, because they'd like to call it Chechnya.
		Russians were building houses, working at McDonald's, cleaning toilets in all areas of the vast Laplandic Empire (which was a great job as, in fact, the toilets cleaned you), and occasionally teaching Mogul Photorobots (for some had survived after all) how to speak slightly better English.
