        The one that is in Troll Gods. Which one of these two it might be, I have no idea. (forgive me if I don't quickly check to see if its somewhere in Drastic Darkness or similar - my Glorantha stuff is mostly on the other side of the world)

        Indeed - I think it probably translates into them having to be animists ;-) now that the other troll darkness religions are generally animist.

        The point being that they were explicitly connected with the other aspects of troll religion, not apart from it.
