I think trolls are afraid of the dark (but pained by sunlight,
which is much worse). They are afraid of the dark because it contains the
scariest monsters they know of - other trolls. Young trolls fear trolls
they don't trust. Old scary trolls no longer fear, but instead try to be
terrifying - they want to be feared. Average trolls scare those below them,
and are scared of those above them. I think a lot of troll society is based
on fear relationships.
Trolls find THEIR patch of darkness comforting and soothing. They
find the darkness in general to be full of other trolls, and therefore
often scary (very scary for an enlo).
Cheers
