It's a very edited down version of Waha frees the Protectresses: "Waha freed the Daughters of Eiritha who were imprisoned by the forces of Kyger Litor. Through the dark and dangerous way he searched and fought, and returned to the world with the goddesses known as the Protectresses. Then the women of the tribe began worshipping Eiritha and people owned herds." from Cults of Prax.

The Darkness rune is not that odd if you consider the that the major tribes are each associated with an elemental rune in the Nomad Gods board game:
Morokanth - Black - Darkness
High Llama - Blue - Water
Bison - Green - Storm
Impala - Yellow - Sky
Sables - Red - Moon

I'm not sure there is a Waha Fights Trolls myth. Trolls are very good at fighting chaos, a useful thing in Prax. When he got the Protectresses back, i believe one version of the story is he negotiate with "Dark Eater" and make her an ally that can be called on by some in times of need. The deal is I will feed you now help.
