I really like the honor war system described here! Feels like a good element to the trolls as a whole to have since they are an ancient people who have an honor bound society.

So if Gunmar follows this honor code does it not apply to humans?

That is exactly the point of contention that starts so many problems! It depends on the tribe, and even the individual. Humans weren't seen as intelligent in the early days of troll history, just another source of food that to some, was really good. As humans evolved though, some tribes thought it wrong to hunt intelligent beings.

Most tribes just chose to agree to disagree for a long time. It wasn't their business, and no tribe felt strong enough about it to cause problems.

Until Merlin. Merlin bridged the gap between trollkind and humans, specifically with the trolls of Dwoza. Before magic was feared, some human societies could co-exist with trolls pretty beneficially.

That honor code applies to humans only within tribes that respect them, and even then there aren't any that view harm of consumption of a human to be a transgression, unless it will effect the safety of the tribe.

For example, say Draal in modern times ate someone. He'd face consequences because it's a threat to troll market potentially being discovered.

The thing with Gunmar is while yes, he does usually follow the honor code, he has zero qualms with breaking it if need be. The survival of his people has, and always will be his priority. It's what makes up his very being. So, even if the honor code did protect humans, he likely would break it anyway.

When it comes to humans, he acknowledges that they are intelligent, but he also realizes how abundant they are and how easy of a resource they are to hunt. It makes sense if you're trying to feed an entire tribe that doesn't have access to a heartstone and is cut off from the rest of the troll world.

He also just, really, really likes the taste. But that's besides the point.

There was a time during the age of Arthur that the gumm-gumms, humans, and other tribes had relative peace, and during that time Gunmar was able to let the tribe cut back on the consumption of humans because they had access to other resources. It didn't last very long, unfortunately.

Trolls have a lot of unspoken rules regarding respect of life and peace between tribes. There's an understanding between all tribes that innocents are to be excluded from conflicts, to protect those who don't choose to be warriors. Any violent disputes are handled outside of communities for this reason.

The exception was Orglak, who was known to all for being mad. He was wrong in the head, and he pretty much ruined the reputation of the Gumm-gumm tribe(which previously was a traveling warrior tribe).

He would raid and slaughter masses, and take the whelps for his own purposes. It's one of the reasons the gumm-gumms are hated so much.

Now, Gunmar is the product of a corrupted hearthstone, a heartstone that rotted from the inside out because of the wars that began to break out between humans and trolls. He is not evil incarnate though, and his purpose isn't revenge or world domination, but justice and protection. He's the manifestation of what the heartstone couldn't do; help its people. His experience with Orglak disrupted that though. He still has thoughts and feelings and he was rather young and impressionable when Orglak found him, so that deep seated need to protect and provide got manipulated in Orglak's favor. To an extent anyway. Gunmar despised Orglak's wicked ways, but learned very quickly that if he didn't, at the very least, pretend to embrace it, he'd be killed. And habits and philosophies are hard to break once you've adopted them for so long. He also put a lot of his effort towards the care of the whelps Orglak would take,(his paternal nature is ridiculously intense) since he literally couldn't stand the thought of any of Orglak's brainless, violent followers anywhere near them.

When Gunmar had Bular he knew he had to kill Orglak. Having a whelp of his own basically had every single instinct that he came out of the heartstone with come back full force. (At the time of his emergence, he didn't know what any of it meant, since he was basically a 10 ton toddler.)

Now, you may ask, if Gunmar is so protective of whelps, then why did he agree to let Morgana make changelings? Well, my friends, he did not know. After Gunmar's fallout with Merlin, Morgana said she could give him the means to better influence humanity. He agreed, and only found out what exactly Morgana had done until after. He was furious, but couldn't do much about it, because at the end of the day he is not going to seem ungrateful to the eldritch mother. It's why the babies that get stolen are so well taken care of. The bare minimum would do just fine, but he couldn't stand that thought. Human or otherwise a baby is a baby to him.

But Villr! Doesn't Gunmar raid other tribes once he becomes king of the gumm-gumm's? Doesn't he take whelps for his army?

Only if he really had to, which was more often than he would've liked. You see, because Orglak was a violent maniac that ruined any semblance of peace between the gumm-gumm's and other tribes, sometimes Gunmar had to resort to taking what his tribe needed to survive, because other tribes refused to negotiate, despite his best efforts.

The only time he took whelps was if the parents were killed during a raid, which was not very often, but still happened sometimes. And later on, when the Krubera trolls allied with them(an alliance the Krubera's kept a secret from the other tribes) They thought that Gunmar the black would want some of their whelps for his "army". (There's so many misunderstandings...) He only took them because if they're so willing to give them up then obviously they don't deserve em.

Back to Bular. AAAAGUUGHHHHHH LOOK AT HIS EARNEST FACE WHEN TALKING TO GUNMAR THAT'S HIS DAAAAD. HIS VOICE ISN'T AS GRUFF AND HIS EXPRESSIONS ARE SO OPEN AAAAHHHH

Not even transformers prime starscream could make me feel this much pity.
