Well, NO actually.

ZZ "is not a descendant of KL" and "can't be a troll" is just a GodLearnerism, and should be dumped. When ZZ was born, the difference between Uz and non-Uz was essentially non-existent.

In actual 17th Century Uz communities, ZZ is certainly thought of as a troll. Bizarre genealogy and consequences therefore unnecessary in a Short Form write-up. If you want to do the full Long Form version though, ZZ would be a very looooooong and somewhat frustrating job.

But someone's gotta do it ... ;-)

Sorry ; rules-lite post !
