You may have gotten the "constantly at war" bit from my CSB story, which is quite non-canon. :D

Well, since Trolins and Antmen are not only internally based on th same creature, but Trolins live in an underground city with a name indicating ants, they should at least have a close connection.

The Trolins conquered it from the Antmen during their warring. ;)

Maybe so. Or the are an evil orc-like race with shamans, that are insect-spirit shamans (in the sense of the evil insect shamans of Shadowrun) who revere the Ant as their totem. That's why the Antment allow them to live in the upper skirts of their subterranean realm. That way, the Trolins are useful for the antmen too, since they act as a buffer zone beween them and some of their surface foes.

Funny line about Drator from the intro screen of Drator's Tower:

"He now sleeps in his tower with Taza boots."

BTW: Forgot to add to Shadodan, that he was turned into a dragon, supposedly by the witch that defeated him.
Probably the witch did so because she had a Sword of Dragon Decapitation.

Been busy updating custom dungeon lists. Which makes me wonder, whether some custom dungeons might be a good source for a DM world campaign setting.
