Argan Argar Sources

Hello.  I am playing a dark troll Argan Argar warrior from the Shadow Plateau in a game of The Smoking Ruin.  Without getting into the details of that game, I have really enjoyed researching trolls in Glorantha to roleplay this character.  I've read the sections of the classic Trollpack relevant to my character, and for a while I've been digging into side-details related to all the mythos and history I can find relating to Argan Argar.  I really like the themes of Argan Argar as a god and cult: helping anyone who asks, the Shadow Tribute that was really an Equal Exchange, teaching Uz and surfacers how to live together in peace and unite against Chaos.  The Good Troll King fighting and winning the Apocalypse War is a fun idea, as is the whole concept of 'virtuous Darkness.'

At this point though, I'm running out of easily accessible sources on Argan Argar myth.  I've started getting new details edgewise by looking up other gods' version of Argan Argar events, like the binding of Lodril from Lodril's perspective--which established the interesting idea that Lodril considers Argan Argar to have 'stolen his wife'.  I think I'm starting to mine my way through the available material.  I've got ready access to the Stafford Library books of history and Mythology, the Guide, the Trollpack--are there any other obvious sources on Argan Argar myths?  Or activities of Argan Argar worshipers within Time?  I'm particularly interested in the connection between Arkat and Argan Argar, since I've read some things from Arkat cult materials that suggest a sort of successor/heir relationship between AA and Arkat Kingtroll.
