according to Gorakiki subcults as offered on an excellent webpage I unfortunately can't credit just now, (insert malign computer rune reference here) they do, as in my game.
I still think you're missing the point, that Ernalda is the mother/wife cult of the Kitori <humans & Uz of the Troll Wood> and the fems arn't going to be interested in some pogrom obsessed warriors telling them what to do, or who to hang out with, and Aldrya is an associated cult of Ernalda. The elf strongholds you'de like to burn down...you're suggesting that Trolls make military strike on an associate temple of their own Mother Cult. You'll be attacking Elf Aldrya cultists,and Troll & Human, Ernalda, Aranea, & Babeestor Gor cultists of your OWN tribe. When there is a nasty Chaos wood within handy smashing range as well...What sensible Troll would choose to accompany you on this mission against the local seat of femmy fertility? What could a troll possibly hope to gain? Assuming that he'd survive (and I don't) he'd stand not a snowball's chance in hell of ever gaining feminine approval/getting laid by fems again within the Kitori. If I were a Kitori and some cousin of mine suggested attacking our mother's forest shrine, I'de kill him myself so that the people wouldn't think my bloodline was tainted with chaos.

Then you have answered your own question about mutual need. Elves & trolls both need the woods to live. The woods are more verdant because of elf contribution to ecology. It's in everyone's best interest to just avoid each other, which is easy enough to do, especially if you do what "mom" says, you'll stay out of each other's way, and out of trouble. Or you could attack the largest Babeestor Gor <read fem version of ZZ> stronghold/temple in the troll woods, and with some luck you'll be able to convince a few more broken loonys to accompany you, so that the Babs don't have to bicker & squable over which of them get to chop you to tiny bits...
