What's worse than Yelmalio? _Two_ Yelmalios!

• --- A question -- most of the people posting on the Kitori affirm they see Zorak Zorani residing there. Elf debate aside, I find that interesting since ZZi don't strike me as the sorts to get along with Orlanthi (particuarly since they can't get along with their inter-troll rival cult, the Karrg's Sons).

Is the cult of Zorak Zoran different in the Shadowlands/TW, more amiable? (IMO, ZZ differers widely from troll stongland to troll strongland, so they might be more cosmopolitan in the OOO's old empire than in DakInk. No lynching of Lightbringers, human sacrifice limited to the weekends, zombies created with cheerful grins, etc.) Alternatively, did some notable past Zorak Zorani TW leader reconcile the cult with the Orlanthi? (Perhaps sealing the deal by trading a spirit magic, available through the spirits of the two leaders who worked out the comprimise). Or are the ZZi segregated off into their own communities along the border with the Chaos Woods?
