Couldn't they´ve left the God Project too? Since they're a mixture of trolls and humans it would be more reasonable...

Interesting. I didn't know it. I like the idea.

But where is the orlanthi-troll mixture here? I supposed they would worship Orlanth and some others along with KG, ZZ, AA, etc.

Hey, that would be great :)

I think they should worship some orlanthi deities too. Maybe they know
some myths of friendship between storm-darkness deities. That makes them
more interesting for me.
For example, "Urox and Karrg against Chaos" or "Humakt lends Death to
Zorak Zoran". Of course, they don't worship Elmal...
