When I first heard of the Kitori, my first reaction was to think of the
human companions of Arkat who joined him in becoming Trolls. These new
trolls would presumably have had human kin. Thus you would have had
members of a troll tribe with blood relatives in a human tribe.
I have no idea whether this is relevant to the Kitori and have read no
source material to support it. Does anyone know where Arkat's ritual of
rebirth was performed?
