Uz Lore booklet from Trollpak had some details on the Shadowlands including a short, somewhat different paragraph on the Troll Woods (the name the Kitori Wilds were known by prior to DP:LoT).

I'm not sure whether Drastic:Darkness has much on the Kitori or the Troll Woods.

Tradetalk #4 has the Dawn Age history where the Dawn Age Kitori figure much, but not in the Kitori Wilds, but on Shadow Plateau. There are no mentions of Kitori for the Imperial Age.

There was some probably misleading information on the Kitori in RuneQuest Adventures #4 - Siege of Whitewall. That and much of the old digest material may be out of date, but can still be mined for ideas - check Lokarnos.com, Holy Country section.

Greg has declared the Kitori a hands-on topic, meaning he discouraged us from publishing much on them since it will be Gregged with high probability.

Some discussion on the current nature of the Kitori despite of this occurred on the Wilmskirk list, e.g.:
