According to Zen's SCQR, it's 3g/turn.

You can find the Ballad of Regeneration here:

It is a little more than halfway down the page and contains much valuable info on troll upkeep.

Anyone know why trolls/sea trolls/Sea Kings have upkeep, when so many other (seemingly equally or more powerful) summons don't? 45 W suddenly seems like a whole lot for a Sea King's Court, when it's going to cost you 55 upkeep!

Apparently because they have a gold cost, as the units can be recruited normally from sites or certain provinces: As a result, they're assumed to have upkeep because there's a gold cost associated with them.

I guess rocks and sticks (a normal troll diet) are valuable in the world of Dom? Or the money may be weregild for the children the trolls are supposed to be fed (according to the spell description).
