Hmm, irony doesn't always work on mailing lists does it?

Quite possibly true[1] although I tend to assume that Heortlings interact with Dagori Inkarth trolls more often than Malkioni or Kralori questers. The AA faction would have a better chance of knowing of their (Orlanthi) myths sufficiently to have an idea what their most famous myth can do, especially as it was used on a locally famous troll hero. YGMV.

[1] Although as this is presented as the single most powerful and dangerous heroquest known to the Heortlings I would question the assumption that every culture must have a direct equivalent. That they have equally powerful and dangerous quests I do not doubt - the purpose and outcome of that quest may of course be very different.
