me if I'm wrong, Sandy).
For a troll, Fear and Love are part of the same emotion.
Those whom they Love, they also Fear. Sometimes Fear is stronger,
sometimes Love.
It is also possible for a troll to Hate and Fear someone.
(I.e., they don't _have_ to love you to fear you.)
But of course, as any sensible person knows, Hate is NOT
Love's opposite -- the two emotions are quite near to one another
and readily transform.
The opposite of Love is Indifference, BTW.

A few probably did. I don't think any group as large as a
clan did so.

faction which _do >not_ suffer from the Curse of Kin.
1) Any pro-Gbaji trolls were certainly exterminated, root
and branch.
2) Pro-Gbaji trolls also suffered the Curse of Kin. Nysalor
might have promised them that when his Light filled the universe,
the Curse would end, but given that Nysalor did not send the Curse
against the trolls, he could hardly keep it from affecting their
race.

>The trolls are more scared of the Darkness than anything.
I strongly agree. The mistress race are the way they are
partly because they have no hope. Filled with emptiness, they have
found strength in their barren knowledge. The Darkness holds horror,
even for them.
>And who knows what other secrets are kept safely away from us by
Subere ...?
The ingredients of British sausage, for one.
