Secrets of Troll - A Nordland Chronicles Tale (v0.01) by NorChronicle

The rule in Nordland is strict and fierce, and unless you are of noble birth or have somehow come into a position of wealth or power, you don’t have many rights.
You (the main character) come from Arland, a small settlement in the northwest part of Nordland,
where you’ve lived daily doing whatever small job you came across to earn enough to survive.
Then, one day, you witness the situation of a boy caught by a merchant stealing a couple of apples. Theft to survive starvation is not uncommon,
but when the guards took the kid's beating too far, you could not idly watch any longer and stepped in.
It did not take long before guards pinned you down, but at least the kid got away during the brawl. You are reported as a criminal and will be sent to Sortland, the capital, to determine your punishment.
