   Keys: night, day

   Due to the powerful sun roasting the surface of Alternia, the diurnal cycle of Trolls is inverted, and as such they sleep during the day when the sun is out and stay awake during the night, when they can actually leave their hives and caves without being burned to death.

2. #2Trollsselective

   Keys: troll, trolls

   Trolls are a prominent race, originating on the planet Alternia. All trolls have grey skin and horns colored in bands of red-orange to yellow-orange vaguely resembling candy corn. The sclera of most trolls' eyes are the same yellow-orange color as their horn tips; however some trolls with mutations can have eyes in different colors, and which can flash and change color altogether under certain circumstances. A troll's orange eyes can become more reddened when "bloodshot" or turn completely red when damaged, for example by the sun. Many other parts of troll anatomy are black, including their hair and lips. Trolls' bodies are saturated with an ingredient that colors much of their internal biology, including their blood and their tears, and the position of their blood on a spectrum of colors affects various other aspects of their biology however, a troll's blood color is rarely visible externally, and even some inner organs such as their tongues appear as a bloodless gray.

3. #3Alterniaselective

   Keys: alternia, trollplanet, Alternian

   Alternia is the home planet of the trolls, It has two satellites; a green moon and a pink moon, the latter of which seems to be accompanied by a much smaller pink satellite of its own. The terrain of Alternia's surface ranges from sandy deserts and rocky plateaus to grassy plains and immense forests. Troll society-- including the children-- are divided into castes based on the colour of their blood, an institution known as the Hemospectrum. While on Alternia, the children who survive their initial trials as newborns are given an animal caretaker known as a Lusus and servitor robots with which to construct a Hive, or, house.

   The essential services on Alternia are automated; drones and automatic systems see to the basic needs of the inhabitants and ensure the infrastructure of the cities and outlying areas remains in acceptable condition. Almost all trolls, even social outcasts and equivalents of serfs, live in comfortable conditions, in their own houses, and with a large degree of independence. This implies that the Alternian economy is to a degree post-scarcity.

   It is the job of the Troll children, therefore, to learn. As they grow, Trolls learn-- through a standardized curriculum administered by an automated program as well as through personal experiences-- their status in the Caste system, their place in society, the details of their future career, and what it means to be a good Troll. Relatively few survive the process. Between the totalitarian and often cruel leadership of the aristocracy, the harsh and unforgiving militancy of Troll culture, and the inborn capacity for violence among Trolls themselves, many Troll children are killed-- often by each other or at the hands of government war-droids-- well before they reach maturity.

The third lowest caste on the hemospectrum, it is preceded by bronze; it was succeeded by the lime caste before their extermination, Gold bloods seem to have the most potent psychic abilities of the (extant) lowbloods, something that appears related to their often unusual eye colour, with some gold bloods having entirely pupil-less eyes filled with one or two flat hues. The purple blood caste is one of the twelve troll blood castes, higher than indigo and succeeded by violet.

   Trolls have 12 different ranges of blood colour. Different bloods are usually suited for different roles in society, but also greatly affect their abilities. Natures and physical aspects are also affected, most noticeably in sea dwellers. Lowbloods are more likely to be psychic and have shorter life spans.

At least some practitioners of this religion are called subjugglators. The exact minutiae of the religion are unknown, but several core themes can be gleaned. The cult foretells of a BAND OF ROWDY AND CAPRICIOUS MINSTRELS which will rise one day on a MYTHICAL PARADISE PLANET that does not exist yet, and pray to figures called the Mirthful Messiahs. Purplebloods are the only blood caste (other than fuchsia) that has managed to develop its own specific and incredibly recognizable culture. Most purples express pride in their blood color by imitating the style of an important purpleblooded troll, the Subjugglator.

They are generally seen as being absolutely batshit. Most purple bloods have long, curved horns, often resembling those of a goat or other ungulate.

Sexual attraction is a part of this as well; kismeses may engage in hatesex.

    Kismesissitude can be either healthy or abusive. A caliginous relationship must involve mutual respect, admiring each other's strengths even while hating one another. If the relationship makes one or both parties feel inferior, it's unhealthy. Kismesissitude should encourage each individual to improve themselves so that they may surpass one another; if both parties do this, both will continue to grow trying to match one another.

At this carnival the believers would be all mellowing in tents, bumpin sounds, tossing back the faygo and soaking the miracles up our faith sponges, while the special stardust rained down at our elixir sticky faces, like a bunch a fuckin fairy powder from religion space.
