        A cool idea except.... the Curse of Kin occurred significantly before Arkat became involved with things trollish (more than 50 years). Most humans believe that Nysalor either was a good guy or made people believe he was a good guy initially, which leaves a lot of room for ambiguity, but as the Curse of Kin was almost his first act, I don't think many trolls have any ambiguity about him. (of course, this doesn't counteract the human belief - cursing a scary human eating race is not considered evil by most folks). Trolls hate Nysalor NOT because they believe he is Gbaji - he didn't fool many trolls for long. They hate him because he is D'Wargon, the womb-biter.

        If there are trolls that believe it, whoever sold them that story could sell ice to snow trolls.

        Cheers
