Bandit never won any points for wanting to violently murder a victim of a terrible tragedy.

In a very drawn-from-personal-anecdotes way, I can actually more easily envision some manner of peace between Bandit and Byron many years out in the future more easily than I can Bandit and Syr’Nj.

Philosophies may grow and change, and forgiveness can come from unexpected (and unsought) corners. But certain types of betrayal have a way of leaving wounds that permanently fester.

Harky was also way older.
Slowed growth doesn’t meant stopped growth.
And, slowed growth might be beneficial to trolls.
They seem pretty high-strung, mostly. Perhaps having their maturation stretched out makes for a more strategic worldview?

Trolls heals extremely quickly. They can even re-grow limbs. Clearly Troll growth can not be expected to follow the same route as other humanoids who grow until adulthood and then stop growing.

We have seen two clear cases of Troll growth, both involving Penk.

1) Penk got a growth burst from going into the volcano
2) Penk got a growth burst from the last battle.

I would postulate that when Trolls re-grow, they grow larger. This might be an evolutionary adapatation to make sure that while Trolls don’t waste resources by growing growing extremely large in surroundings where it has no additional value, they can always grow as large as needed through trial and error.

Penk probably sustained a lot of damage in the last battle, resulting in him now being larger then before. Harky was way bigger when they fought because at that time Harky had sustained more damage in his life. Now they would probably be of more equal height.

We'll soon see that most members of Penk's Council are commuting in by portal, so the mechanisms for Gravedust to continue as both councilor and Savasi leader are already in place.
