"I began this project in 2020 with limited experience in map-making. Working on it has been an immensely rewarding journey. I hope you have as much fun playing as I had making it.
While this campaign is complete, the journey is far from over. I plan to continue development and deliver new troll stories through additional chapters in the future." - @frostwhisper
