Yes, their history is pretty unclear in the Imperial age, as you said. At some point, probably in that age, and I am guessing post the death of the OOO, both moved and changed its form somewhat.
I did once try to write up the history of the Kitori for BODR (troll issue), but Greg spiked it saying he was working on it - so, the full history of the Kitori seems to not only be unknown (as is common in Glorantha), but seems to be officially that way for the moment.
My best guess is that for much of the Imperial age, the Kitori where agents of the OOOs rule, and following his death they fled, and asked for sanctuary with a troll tribe, as a result of which the humans and troll tribes merged.
Cheers David
