It's an adventure arc where we get to kill Druchii, observing and honing our Arhain, as Daroir would put it. On the way there we'll also have the opportunity to sample Lothern's markets, and there's some noise about leaving Eike there for her own adventure.
I was just thinking, what else can we do besides this? Try to make contacts with traders from Cathay or blacksmiths of Caledor on the topic of Titan metal? Was there anything else that could have been done there?
The difference being that elves remember millennia of memes which are all in living memory. The old memes are more formal then the new ones, but they still check out*.
Troll Country is canonically steppelands with some hills and forests that become more tundra as you go north, not swamps.Maybe. From my point of view, simply moving around this territory is an extremely inconvenient action. The closest analogue of Troll Country that I can choose as a geographer would most likely be the mouth of the Indigirka River in Siberia, or the Vasyugan Swamps in another part of Siberia.
In summer, this territory may have a share of water bodies as a percentage of its entire territory close to 30-50%, and the remaining land will be a swamp, which is extremely difficult to pass even on foot. Sending cavalry in such conditions is simply impossible.
In winter, it is an almost flat plain, which is no less dangerous to move around. You have little or no protection from strong winds and snow, and the ground under your feet may not be frozen enough to move safely.
The main problem of Troll Country, from my point of view, is not the monsters, but the terrifying landscape. Navigating something like this to prevent another Chaos cultist wanting to cause a disaster with dark magic is a logistical nightmare. From my point of view, there are much more reasonable methods of using waystones in the foreseeable future.

White tower is way younger than the sources this guy is citing though.
-Learn a bit about Loec, hopefully
At the very least it should be a good training trip. It is one of the few places we can go where our current skills can be polished to new peaks.
I just want to make the Shadow dagger for Wizard dad.
It's an adaptation of a human proverb (and also a neat continuation of the previous metaphor). But it struck me as a sentiment that would be rather foreign to a dwarf. That they can't or won't do that is one of the big factor that makes them uniquely warhammer dwarfs. I'm sure they grumble over spilled ale all the time.
What if it isn't our province?
-Learn a bit about Lileath, inexplicably
Troll country is mostly steppeland and tundra, not bogs. This is presumably why when boney has talked about what waystones would do for troll country, he has explicitly said it would clear out new grazeland.
