Hi all

I want to know, if someone know where is in the world the Black forest troll kingdom. I have read that name in the corebook of Shadowrun 4 (p50).

Thank a lot

It's part of the Allied German States. Schwarzwald is to the West of Bavaria.

Appropriately enough its in the Black Forest (in Germany). Besides the German language material (DiDS2 being the most recent), it was first mentioned in the SR1 English-language Germany sourcebook and most recently updated in Dragons of the Sixth World (there's a connection between the country and a great dragon called Kaltenstein) and obviously Shadows of Europe.

Just to add some flavor: in native language "Black Forest" is the "Schwarzwald", "black forest troll kingdom" would be "Schwarzwälder Troll Königreich", or "Troll Königreich Schwarzwald", as i think is refered to in the german books.

It is mostly known for the "Schwarzwälder Schinken", basically a smoked ham, "Schwarzwälder Kirsch Torte", a pie with cherries, and is the ancestral home of the cuckoo clock.

In SR it might be known to most trolls for being a troll kingdom. Or not wink.gif.

It's closer to "Baden-Würtemberg" than to "Bayern" (=bavaria). It's not very important for foreigners and people of north germany, but those southsiders take this matter very serious. wink.gif
