Ths Sazdorf Clan are very unusual in that they have a Humakt temple and Humakti trolls. Humakt is normally considered an enemy of trolls.

Humakt cult could accept trolls without a problem. However, Humakti traditionally do not trust trolls, having several geases against trolls and the Zorak Zoran cult in particular.

If I worshipped Humakt and a Hero came to liberate my lands through Humakt, then he became a troll, I would definitely feel betrayed.
