Lyra in Trollesund
The town in Norroway where the Gyptians begin their land journey to Bolvangar, where Lyra Belacqua meets Lee Scoresby and where the Witch Consul to Norroway lives. Lyra tells Mrs. Coulter that she was taken by The Gobblers there, when she was not. [ TGC/NL ]
Trollesund lies in the north of Norroway. It is possible that Trollesund is the city Tromsø in our world. They are both in the same general location, close to Svalbard and an important harbour in the north of Norway/Norroway. The city of Tromsø is the biggest city in the far north of Norway.
The name Trollesund is taken from the norwegian word troll, which is the name of folklore monsters, and sund which is a very common suffix for cities or places of Norway. Sund itself means strait.
