So lore-wise we know the Ogres were cursed into being the stupid lumbering oafs we know and love but IDK anything about the origin of the Trolls. While in Guk I noticed this wall art which looks like Trolls wearing Egyptian-like clothing. Did the Trolls originally build Guk? Were they Kangz at one point?

Trolls built guk and frogloks ran them out of it.

It's hard for trolls to get around in there. Did they grow after they built it. Or is it cuz they are so, unintelligent, that they built it too small for them?

Guk was a troll city. Trolls built it and trolls lived there under the warlord Ykesha. All the art and design and such is troll.

Frogs invaded, drove the trolls out, and then found the curse of Ykesha waiting for them down below.

In a similar vein to how did the massive trolls fit within the small confines of Guk, the various pathways coursing through the Feerrott do not seem "fit" for ogres, but more for the various lizards throughout the area and the nearby Cazic Thule temple. Yet Oggok is the main city, ogre sized.

I have visions of the Trolls telling their city-building slaves "just build it, me no want answer questions!" ... and then a few years later the Trolls discover that they built the city "slave-sized", and a whole lot of slaves wind up being brutally murdered.
