>From the random idea / plot twist department:

My troll PC's background had an unusual approach to this problem. I invented a new Kyger Litor subcult for adventuring males which was trying to solve it by focusing on male potency instead of female fertility.

The big moms have been questing for ages - literally - to solve the problem from the female side and have failed. The only success was Cragspider's substitution of darkness demons for normal troll husbands. Maybe, they reason, D'Wargon didn't damage Korasting as much as he damaged male trolls by supplanting them.  

They also notice the lack of good male role models among the darkness pantheon.  ZZ is unsuitable and possibly sterile due to death rune linkage, AA is fooling around with earth goddesses, and Karrg is a blood relative! They seek to create an alternative by having strong adventurous males leave their homes and spread their proverbial seed in other troll lands - not to mention experimental heroquesting along the lines you're considering.

Unfortunately this wasn't well explored in the campaign, ironically derailed by an attempted LBQ to retrieve the Only Old One :)
