Das hat nichts mit Gemeinheit zu tun. Ich hatte es aufgezählt um eine Ergänzung zu präsentieren.
Wie gesagt - das Druidentum der Dunkelspeere ist unter Trollen einzigartig. Sie müssen den Loa, dessen Gestalt sie nutzen, nicht anbeten, um das zu tun - wie eben bei den Zandalari üblich.
Es gibt eine Quelle - ein Dialog mit Zen’tabra - in dem sie mehr erzählt, aber alles, was dort über ihre Vision und die von Gonk begleitete erste Reise in den Traum steht, ist folgendes:
How did you escape Zalazane?
<Zen’tabra closes her eyes and shakes her head.>
When Vol’jin called for everyone ta flee, we…we couldn’t face de tribe after failing dem so badly. So, we fled south, ta de untamed jungle islands.
De wilds claimed a few o’ us dat first night. We found safety in a deep cave in de center o’ de isle, but me dreams dere were not peaceful: I be havin’ a vision!
What was the vision?
<Zen’tabra’s head snaps back to you, her eyes bright and her smile wide around her tusks.>
'Twas a jungle bigger and wilder dan I ever seen! And before me, de ancient raptor loa only talked about in Zandalari tales - Gonk, de Great Hunter!
De raptor spirit spoke ta me, told me he had brought me spirit to a place called de Emerald Dream. Da spirit had been trapped, like de other loa on de Echo Isles, by Zalazane’s magic. But Gonk, bein’ an ancient spirit, was able ta reach across and bring me spirit ta him, even through Zalazane’s voodoo.
What did the spirit want?
Zalazane’s mindless servants were killin’ all de beasts o’ de isles, burnin’ up de trees and plants too. Gonk needed us ta save de life on de isles. But since we not be able to draw upon de power o’ de loa wit Zalazane in power, Gonk be showin’ us a new way ta connect wit ALL de spirits o’ nature, ta work WIT de spirits, not just be servin’ a single loa at a time.
It be difficult at first, ya, mon, but Gonk be showin’ us how ta also reach inta de Emerald Dream ta speak wit da spirits and learn from dem directly!
How did the other loa react to this?
<Zen’tabra laughs.>
De other loa, ‚specially Shirvallah, did not much care for dis plan. Dey still be wantin‘ us ta work just for one o’ dem at a time, not wit all de spirits at once. But Gonk had forced dere hands, and dey knew it was de only way ta save de Echo Isles while Zalazane still ruled.
I be tinkin’ dat Gonk did not care for de other loa much either. He be teasin’ de other loa all de time while we be learnin’ from dem.
Also auch hier wieder - keine genauere Nennung, selbst ingame. Nur Shirvallah und Gonk werden benannt.
Aber - wie ich gerade feststellen muss - sie spricht auch eindeutig von allen „Spirits o’ de nature“ und nicht nur denen, die ich aufgezählt habe… Menno. Kann auch nichts einfach mal einfach sein. Streichen wir einfach diesen Teil aus meinen bisherigen Texten…
Davon abgesehen - das war tatsächlich nicht leicht zu finden und für manche könnte es interessant sein, daher hier nochmal der komplette Dialog mit Zen’tabra über die Entstehung des Dunkelspeer-Druidentums - allerdings versteckt. Klickediklick!
Zen'tabras Dialog im englischen Original!
Zen’tabra, are you one of the druids from the rumors? Were there druids on the Echo Isles long ago?
<Zen’tabra laughs.>
We spread dose rumors, mon. Keep’n Zalazane and others off our tails. Don’t be believin’ everyting ya hear.
No, we be new to de craft, only learnin’ a few years ago. But in some ways, we spent our lives preparin’ ta answer de call…
What were you before you were druids, then?
Some o’ us be loa priests, witch doctors before. Like Zalazane…
<Zen’tabra’s face grows hard as her gaze drifts south.>
We thought de spirits be angry wit us; we did not expect it be Zalazane slowly cuttin’ us off from dem. We knew he be strong, but not dat strong…and by de time his voodoo had reached de other isles, we was powerless ta stop 'im.
How did you escape Zalazane?
<Zen’tabra closes her eyes and shakes her head.>
When Vol’jin called for everyone ta flee, we…we couldn’t face de tribe after failing dem so badly. So, we fled south, ta de untamed jungle islands.

I be tinkin’ dat Gonk did not care for de other loa much either. He be teasin’ de other loa all de time while we be learnin’ from dem.
So what happened then?
We been workin’ wit de spirits for many moons now, mon, but many o’ us already knew de forms o’ de loa we served before. It not be easy, but de Emerald Dream be a powerful teacher by itself - havin’ de spirits demselves also teachin’ ya…it hurries tings along.
Dat don’t mean ‚twas easy keepin‘ safe from Zalazane. Even wit our new tricks combined wit de loa givin’ what help dey could, we lost a few bruddas and sistas over de years ta his voodoo and mindless servants. But we kept de life o’ de isles alive, and when Vol’jin and de Darkspears returned, we knew just how to take Zalazane down.
So are the loa still holding to their side of the deal?
Ya, mon, for now. Dey not be too keen on teachin’ many more o’ our kind, but dey be helpin’ us ‚long as we be keepin‘ de life o’ de isles flourishin’. When Gonk left after de fall o’ Zalazane, he be tellin’ us how ta contact him if de other loa don’t keep dey end o’ de bargain.
I be hopin’ it never come ta dat…but just in case, we be openin’ up channels wit dat Cenarion Circle group.
<Zen’tabra cackles madly.>
Oh, ya shoulda seen de look on dat night elf’s face…
