The reference to Zorak Zoran comes from the description of Ramalia in
Elder Secrets (The populace revere...Zorak Zoran whose troll ancestry is
denied in favour of a human form p6).
I have no idea why the Ramalians worship him since the Mraloti migration
is out. It could be a native cult (God Learned as Zorak Zoran by the
Slontans), a relic of the rule of the Dark Empire or the Kingdom of
Night or a side-effect of the Opening of the Book of Secrets.
