Yup, it says so in Trollpak - but I didn't think it was the spirits of dead Uzuz, I thought it were spirits known as Warriors of Darkness, which I always assumed appeared via the Induce Uzdo rite which would mean they were Darkness Spirits.

As I said, a cross worshipper of Orlanth and Kyger Litor would be able to "fuse" the myths together to create a new HQ path. If they ever prevented Yelm from going to Hell (which would be pretty difficult; any troll who went near him was burnt and scarred -- and they were trying to escape, not stop the guy!) it would be a Very Bad thing. The entire of the HeroPlane would start to change, no trolls would ever leave Wonderhome to take their place in the Mortal Realm, no LBQ, no chaos. The changes would be severe, and possibley catastrophic. Don't mess up myths, the GLers should have taught you that.

Good idea! It all starts to come together....

What! That's news to me. Elder Secrets says that young Mistress Race trolls are very rare creatures -- but not impossible. So, unless the Uz have invented cryogenics, I think you may be wrong.
