At least not religiously and with fervor :)

In Trimaris, "troll" is used and understood, but I think "Gate" 
(as in "We need some replacements up here at Gate") and 
"Gate guard" are becoming more common. "Party at Gate!" is pretty 
much extinct though fondly remembered, but some few folks have 
hopes that it may yet be resurrected.
