Markis—a title of male royalty in troll society. Similar to the title of Duke, it’s given to trolls with superior bloodlines and their correlating telekinetic abilities. Markis have a higher ranking than the average troll, but are beneath the King and Queen. The hierarchy of troll society is as follows: King/Queen; Prince/Princess; Markis/Marksinna; Högdragen; troll citizens; trackers; mänsklig; host families; humans (not raised in troll society).

Markis and the Shadow, The—a troll reinterpretation of the Danish fairy tale Skyggen (in English, The Shadow).

Markis Ansvarig—a position of authority in troll communities, similar to a mayor or chieftain. Literal translation is “Markis-in-charge.” It is a position used in cities without any major royals, like King/Queen or Prince/Princess. The female equivalent would be Marksinna Ansvariga.

Marksinna—a title of female royalty in troll society. The female equivalent of the Markis.

Mästare—the title given to prestigious department heads at the Mimirin.

Merellä, Oregon—a large, affluent citadel in Oregon. It is technically under the Vittra rule, but many trolls from tribes all over live there. It is virtually a metropolis compared to most troll towns and villages, and it is essentially a college town built around the Mimirin Talo institution and library. The name means “by the sea.” It is one of the oldest cities in North America, having been colonized after the trolls came over with the Vikings. Trolls first arrived in North America in early 1000 CE, and the trolls began moving west to get away from the violence of the Vikings. They settled Merellä around 1400 CE. It remains hidden with powerful cloaking spells by the Ögonen.

Midsommar—a trollized version of the festival “Midsommarafton” or “Midsummer’s Eve.” It is a summer festival, celebrating the end of the long winter, with flowers, greenery, and maypoles.

Mimirin, the—the great institution and library that holds much of the history of the trolls, located in the city of Merellä. The full official name is “Mimirin Talo,” which means “House of Mimir,” a reference to Mimir, the Norse god of knowledge and remembering. The Vittra were inspired by the Museum in Alexandria to build the Mimirin hundreds of years ago.

Mörkaston, Nevada—a Vittra city located near Ruby Dome in northeastern Nevada. The name is an anglicized version of mörkaste höjden, which means “darkest point.”

mourning flower—See sorgblomma.

nettle—a stinging herbaceous plant common in Scandinavia. Nettles lose their sting when cooked and can be used in lieu of spinach or any other leafy green. Nettles can also be used dried and brewed as a tea.

Ningrava, Newfoundland—a Kanin village located in Newfoundland, Canada. The name is a shortened version of kanin grava, meaning “rabbit burrow.”

Norra av Nord—a restaurant on Lake Sodalen in Sweden. The name means “Norra of the North” in Swedish, after its owner Norra.
