The Troll Lords, being verile and having many wives, naturally produce a lot of children. These children, being of noble blood, naturally deserve to rule petty fiefs of their own, and to have peasants and peons do all the real work for them.

Alas, there's only so much land within the Kingdom of the Trolls to be divvied up. and only so many peasants to attend to their masters' every whim. So, these second-, third-, fourth- and whatever-born sons of the great Troll Lords took to the far reaches of the known world, staking claim over the relatively untamed lands there, and rulership over the scattered villages, tribes, and outcast bands that call the unruled wilderness their home.

After a few duels to the death, minor invasions, and castle-building sprees, the lands under the wise and mighty rule of the Troll King and his vassals increased by a modest amount.
