Doesn't have to be! Remember, Gerak Kag conquers Pavis with the
(apparently) backing of the KL matriarchate. They're willing to take
risks, after all: they're just want to take risks on their own terms.
(And even the matriarchate can be selfish: Sandy Petersen's long-ago comment being that the uzuz in the Castle of Lead would send every other uz in the world into flaming oblivion if it helped them enough.)

seems too

To be a troll, ya gotta have KL in charge. This doesn't mean that you can't have a clan that, say, *looks* like trolls, *acts* like trolls, are *like* trolls, but KL isn't on top. They're not trolls by *definition* (to be a troll = KL is da mama). All trolls tell you they're not trolls. But at some point, ya gotta ask: if it walks like a duck...*
(And you get the bonus fun of having all the other trolls say, "Yah! You stinking uzjer heretics! Yah! You're not trolls!" And then the walk-like-a-troll say, "Yah we are!" And mayhem ensues...)
Cheers,
James
