	err... wot? I thought you just agreed they worship Argan Argar?
	I think they worship Orlanth the Thunderer as part of the pantheon,

but Orlanth is not their major cultural god.

        My current thoughts on Kitori religion (influenced by long ago suggestions from Alex Ferguson) is that the Kitori worship an ancestor called Kitor, who is probably Voraz Kitor. This ancestor is now treated as an Argan Argar hero, but was originally probably associated with the cult of Zolan Zubar. Both the humans and trolls worship Kitor through ancestor worship, but to the trolls the ancestor worship is indistinguishable from Kygor Litor worship, while to the humans ancestor worship is most definately NOT KL worship, at least according to the standard KL writeup (IE the humans do not all go through the ritual of trollification).

what is their territory?

        I agree. Probably included a lot of the Volsaxi lands before Tarkalor.

        I think a few Arkati lurk among the Kitori - but not many. And what they do have tend to be preoccupied with the nearby Footprint.

        Cheers
