>>In that light, what then is the situation concerning trolls now?
It's been argued that clean-cut distinctions between theism and animism don't apply in the Underworld. (That argument is made in particular in UTToG.)
It may be that we're using human categories where they don't apply. For example, Aldryami do not worship gods or spirits, according to GIttHW--they participate in "great songs". For game purposes, these "songs" (like "Aldrya", "Flamal", "Halamalo") are treated as gods or spirits--but that's not how the elves see them, or so we're told.
