I am actually not absolutely certain of this, but I think it almost
a given that the treasure is only determined when it is necessary to do so
(ie. when the last Knolltir is dead).  Also, if you get a religious item I
think it is at least 80%(maybe 100%) likely that it will be of your religion
if you have one.  I presume that if you didn't follow a god you would have
been just as likely to get a Wooden Statue but the God would have been
random.

Yes, you need to be a disciple to do anything with Unreadable Scrolls.
There are actually 2 spells you need, 1 to identify the scroll and then 1
to read it(and thus allow you to add it to your spell list and then cast it
as often as you want).

You're very welcome, (oh, also, I like the Knolltir names list thing).
