Not much to disagree with overall.
I think whether an UZ society is considered to be dominated by the KL, ZZ or AA cults will depend very much on the importance and nature of their contact with non-trolls.
In lands that are relatively isolated from outsiders the Kyger Litor cult will tend to dominate. This optises their population growth potential and places power in the hands of the females who are often isolated from outside contact anyway.
In lands with frequent amicable contact with non-trolls the Argan Argar cult will have more power. It's skill at dealing with outsiders will boost it's importance and value to the community, and since only males frequently contact the outside world, they will gain a grater roll in determining strategic issues. The Shadow Plateau was a classic example of this. Only the male AA cultists were capable of administering the empire of the Only Old One.
In lands with frequent hostile contact with the outside world, the martial cults are more likely to gain power. ZZ is the most extreme of these, and I'd expect only troll societies on the brink of ruin to go so far as to hand political controll to the Berzerks. However if the females believe that the survival of their society depends on taking such extreme measures they may be prepared to do this.
In either of these latter cases, should the external threat (or opportunity) reduce, the females will inevitably grow stronger and ultimately regain controll.
