RP: After Lord Czaro Vasl, Duke of Elwedhu, finished his great expedition to the east, carrying with him some fruits he called "mangoes", he sparked a wave of interest in the far east from all edges of the Kingdom of the Trolls. But before the unruly Troll Lords could sent out their mishmash of competing expeditions, the current King of the Trolls, His Majesty Tefūmon XKCD, seeing a rare opportunity to increase the power of the throne, decreed that these "mangoe-lands" were sovereign royal territory of the crown, and that all settlements on these lands required a royal charter to be legal.

The Troll Lords were of course all very salty at this blatant power grab by their King, but none of them really had the infrastructure or administrative capacity to mount colonial expeditions of their own, so they just sat around in their castles and bitched about royal misrule for the time being.

The Troll King meanwhile directed his Lord Admiral and Lord Chancellor to prepare an expedition eastwards, to create a royal Troll colony on these mangoe-lands. The King, wisely realizing that he could hardly administer his new colony from his palace in Terrock (the real northern one, not the fake southern Terrock), decided to appoint one of his many strong and intelligent sons as Viceroy and Lord Protector of the Mangoe-Lands, and sent along several seasoned administrators, taxmen, and toadies to be viceregal councillors and subordinate governors.
