Chaosium said, several times, that they had no plans to do Prax. In Greg and Eric's view it has been done to death. Something like 'It is basically a desolate wasteland where almost nothing important ever happens and has almost no significance to the rest of the world. Anyone who cares about Prax has all the stuff they need to play.'

That said, Scott Schneider is planning on putting out a bunch of stuff for Prax using Hero Wars. A lot of what he has done has appeared in various sources (some apparently uncredited.) There is more stuff he has not published. It was supposed to PraxPack but problems interfered with it being completed on schedule. But it will appear, probably, in our lifetimes. :)

As for Trolls, I have a vague memory of them being mentioned. Chaosium promised there would be no new version of the cult of Kygor Litor. But that has something to do with HW not having cult writeups. Elves are on the list also but I can't remember how far down either was. The Lunars and the West seemed to be very high on the list.
