Three Mystical Troll tools

I have a question about mythic events that have occurred since time began. Specifically I am interested in the wounding of Korasting and the curse of the Trollkin.

Presumably this action took place in the Otherworlds. Therefore, my assumption is that the adamantine claws used by Gbaji to wound Korasting would exist in the Otherworlds. Any "instances" of the claws in the mundane world would be representations only (gained by a heroquester) not the actual claws. Similarly the Otherworld Cloak that would enable Kyger Litor to avoid Gbaji would be only found in the Otherworlds. Or can /has there been any cross-over in terms of these sorts of mystical items?

If indeed the actual items do only exist in the Otherworlds, would finding a mundane world representation of said items be useful to Kyger Litor herself, if a cultist could take the items to her in Wonderhome? My thought would be that representations would have a lesser power than the original and therefore are probably not likely to overcome the resistances that Kyger Litor would meet in trying to alter the mythical event.

And, if Kyger Litor did gain the three mystical tools needed to try and reverse the curse, what effect would success have on the Great Compromise? Would it serve to restore some Law or would the action just be a cumulative change leading to even more instability?

Lastly, how would one identify the three tools if one came across them? Divination? Some sort of magic mythic resonance that someone connected to the myths might recognise? (Say, a contest against Know Kyger Litor Myths, with a heroic resistance ?)
