Hmm... she called on Vinga, Vinga sent the troll, she hasn't figured this out yet. That's an interesting idea. I may have to consider that seriously.
I also was wandering through Wonderhome (http://www.wam.umd.edu/~gerakkag/rq.html) and notice that Karrg the Good Son makes some sense here. They are the most likely to have some kind of ritual requirement to obey/protect a female while undergoing some kind of test. Since this almost certainly took place in Kitori lands, the fact she is human is less problematic than it might be elsewhere. I even like the idea that this is a rite they do to find the mother/female they pledge service to, and she interrupted it. So this poor Uz is now pledged to her ritually, even if he doesn't like it (or she know it).
I hadn't thought about what she was bound to, but that could be something of ritual significance as well. I think I'll save that idea for a player-derived inspiration. (Should any of the players somehow set up a situation where this solution would be just PERFECT, I'll jump on it.)
As for the politics bit, that could play a part, but then they would probably have tried to return her to her clan, which would have just resulted in her being killed. Mind you, there is the possibility they found an abandoned human baby in almost the exact same spot just a few weeks/season before. So they might just think the human tribe had gone nuts. (I haven't decided yet whether or not the trolls found the baby and if they did what they might have done with it.)
