>The humans worship Argan Argar.
Not only Argan Argar, humans would worship Zong as well. Since the troll
woods offers a mixed hunting ground setting, one that has somehow not been
transformed into the wasteland typical of troll living areas, I imagine that
Humans would worship Zong to gain access to his "command bug spells," just as
trolls might worship Odayla/Yinkin combination for similar reasons.
Gorakiki would be suitable worshiped. Insects are a important source of
food in the real-world-over. In my campaign, humans from the Applelane
region trade worthless rotted fruit to kitori tribesman who raise fruit
midges.
In the absense of more "orlanthi" sense of honor-mindedness, it would
follow that Zorak Zoran would be worshipped by humans as well. This is not
to say that kitori are not honorable, but since they have a tribal/social
relation with trolls, they might have a more base moral (tt). As stated in
trollpak, the human-troll tribe is distrusted. What better way to embody the
frustrations of individuals who have to deal with outsider's stupid
stereotypes than by killing them!
At the same time, the trolls in my campaign have established some
orlanthi-like traditions as well. Seeing that troll woods has not been
destroyed by the voracious trolls led me to the conclusion that trolls are
more orlanthi-clannish-like. Clans spar with each other and war is a social
function to control overpopulation. What better way to get rid of those
idiot trollkin? (-I have toyed with the idea of humans eating trollkin as
well as insects but the jury is still out.) It follows that the population
break down of trollwoods would lean a little toward more warrior and value
trollkins than in area where trollkin horde because the bulk of trollkin are
killed off. (i.e. the Shadow Plateau which is a staple for hunting parties.)
The forest cannot possibly support that kind of life.
Trolls would also worship Donandar, Humakt, Stormbull, and the rarest high
barbarian types would pay homage to Mostakos. (these being chariot drivers
in the classic barbarian sense.) And whose to say that a troll would through
a nod toward Heller when the hot summer sun dries the forest and threatens to
set it alight? Ernalda is a strong candidate for the obivous care that
trolls direct toward their wood.

I thought the kitori partially founded Whitewall?
