Quite a big loophole, if you suppose Karrg's Sons existed before
trollkin ever did. But this ritual devouring might be of a *dead*
relative, not necessarily one slain by the Son in question, i.e.
"the Karrg's Son must preside at a troll funeral banquet for one
of his relatives every year". With the Trollkin Curse, the extreme
interpretation ("kill one if nobody's died") would grow in favour.
It's quite funny, seeing Karrg's Sons as the undertakers and toast-
> Actually, I thought trolls didn't like to eat undead -- the non
masters of troll funeral ceremonies...
> ZZ models were icky, and the ZZ creations were sacred.
Sure, trolls would *never* eat "icky" food, James... :-)
