Look at Enclosure 2 for one version.

Yes.

It's not a "gods of darkness" issue.
Zorak Zoran is the baddest and toughest of the troll deities becaus ehe is able to conquer and control the most feared immortal enemy of the troll race. This isn't like Orlanth or Magasta beating up fire. Fire conquers darkness on the Elemental Pentacle, and here is the opposite. This is the Darkness that Overcome Light. This is the Shadow that blinds the Sun. This is the Great Darkness Maker and the Conquerer of Opposites int he troll pantheon.
