So I need some help with my Trollish storyline....

Quote:
Heartlines

Monya was never the bravest and boldest of trolls, small and gracile, she's been passed over for full clan rights time after time. One night while avoiding the coming of age festivities, she found herself at an old hovel in the woods, with twisting rose vines. Thinking it abandoned, Moyna took a rose right from the vine, pricking her finger on a thorn. The owner of the hovel didn't take kindly to the intrusion and with gnarled hands took Monya's heart, placing it in a egg and throwing it to the “End of the world” Now, With the help of creatures till now she's been afraid of, Monya must leave her village and safety behind to retrieve something she wasn't really using in the first place, as she travels across her world, following what little ties that bind them together,.


Basically it's a Norse/Scandinavian/Germanic folk tale told through the eyes of monsters of high fantasy. above is the basic starting storyline but I'm not sure where to go from there.

World building notes:
Humans are just raising up in population and power.
Orcs are one of the most educated and wise of the races, sticking mostly to mountainous strong holds.
Goblins have the largest numbers and the most complex society in the world. Elves are the most tribal and wild creatures

I like your world! Its like opposite land from most fantasy genre.

It is kinda supposed to be the opposite sweatdrop since it's kinda of a Lion's story, kinda. Only I don't really want them to outright war, Human vs "Monster" kind, cause I'm pretty sure that Monya would be like "no... I'm not going to be useful in this." kind of deal.

Thus far for sure I only have three characters Monya, the troll, Tophi Kare a healer/bardic Orc, and one human girl passing as a boy named Brennus, who I think might be the "Royal family" but I'm still not sure how I want to structure the human's society.

Oh! the Witch is more than just inspired by Baba yaga!

Also unsure how to make Monya stronger, beyond getting bolder, but she's not a fighter, it's still not in her nature, and not sure about magic.

There would be ways to get her physically stronger...it would take time, obviously, and wouldn't necessarily have to be for fighting. But perhaps in the other ways, influence..seeing others confident in their own ability, but not in the snarky way? Something to build her own confidencel

Yeah sweatdrop She could like train with Brennus who I think would be the fighter, but what I've noticed the "party" misses is magic... then i had a thought...

... what if Monya was a dream walker, kinda awakened when her heart was taken, or it's a side effect, kind of like concentrated empathy.

Just beyond the rock lined ridge, over boulders and ancient cairns; wild forests stretch across an expanse of land, where the sea laps against the rocky shores. This is the last of a wild world, where beast roam, monsters await the unwary, twisted trees house the creatures of the fey and deep mountains hold treasures untold.
A land of wonder, when humans came to it, they were astounded at the fertility of the land, but all of it wasn't uninhabited. Trolls, Orcs, Goblins and Elves all had their own territories, and they began to war with the puny humans. The humans though held their own, having perfected weapons and mass numbers, and eventually, after the smoke and the ashes fell away, the humans had settled a small region by the coast, leaving the rest of the land to tangle into it's self,the creatures looking from a safe distance.
The human kings, the Lion Hearts, on occasion would try and expand their holding, burning forests back to form small craggy farms on the outskirts. In the trees though, eyes would always be watching the humans as they went about conquering the land with their tools as they took it from the natives.
And time passed this way, for three hundred years as the humans expanded; but on the edges, by a rolling river, there was a village of a different sort. The Huldra clan had found a haven nestled in a small valley where humans were only spoke of in whisper as you see, monsters are not always the same depending on who you ask. Gathering herbs on the side of the river, and hunting the game; the trolls lead a some what peaceful life, raising their young to be large and strong, practicing the warring arts, as the drums of the trolls rolled across the hills, telling the news of other clans and settlements, of the battles with the encroaching humans.


my crappy setting writing.
