So, they're forced through a series of trials that weed out the weak, gain the protection of a monsterous Guardian, and then are trained at architecture from a young age.
Is it just me, or does Troll Culture seem to be preparing them to play SBURB? It sets them up with a Zodiac-Themed Monster to prototype their sprite with, and encourages them build their own home in their "lawnring" to familiarize themselves with how to construct a home that can reach the gates.
No, I noticed that too. Found it weird because Hussie stated that Sburb didn't exist as of the very beginning of the act and nobody on Althenia had played Sburb before. I guess AA found/finds it in the frog temple as it appears from the future, thus causing it to suddenly exist or whatever - wait, weird idea. So the trolls were brought up to be trained for Sburb... but we know they are created as paradox babies larvae... so is it at all possible that in a wider time loop, the trolls themselves originated their planet's Sburban-oriented lifestyle after having played the game themselves?
Hmmm, maybe all that is some weird endless time loop, like in Final Fantasy I?
And Trolls are actually descendants of the civilization they will make in future, which will send their larvae into past, to find civilization that will create Trolls...
Uh, wait.
