So we know that Zandapallys used to follow Rezan as the Loa of Kings but now that Rezan is dead and Rastakhan tied his bloodline - the bloodline of kings - to Bwonsamdi, does that mean that TECHNICALLY Prelates should now worship Bwonsamdi? How would that work with them using powers akin to the Light? What do you think?
The Zandalari people are free to worship any of the Patron Loa.
The Prelate’s themselves is still an Order of Rezan Though, they Now Worship his Memory.

What he said. ^
Prelates still believe in the idea of Rezan. However, I like to think there could be variants of prelates out there if you wanted. Because Prelates are free to follow the ideals of any loa as each loa is as important to the Zandalari as the last.
So a Prelate looking to Bwomsamdi and the Other Side isn’t actually that far-fetched.
Probably not.
Rezan is still the Loa of Kings. The Holy Light as it works for the Zandalari trolls seems pretty much inherently tied to royalty and virtues such as loyalty to the King/Queen, which is what Rezan seems to stand for.
However… we don’t actually even know for sure how Zandalari paladins get their power. Do they get it directly from Rezan, as in that he channels his power through them/grants them the ability to draw from his power? Or is it actually their faith that grants them the ability to use the Light/holy magic? Maybe it’s a bit of both, as in that their faith (and adherence to said faith) grants them the ability to “commune” with Rezan?
We don’t know anything for sure. If it really is just about faith, a Zandalari paladin might worship Bwonsamdi (as the Queen’s Loa) and still get access to the Light. If it’s about Rezan (or any “Holy Loa”… how do Loa even become aspects of Holy Magic? Blizz pls), things become more complicated.
The fact that Zandalari many Zandalari paladins lost their power after Rezan’s death can be explained by their faith being shaken after their loa’s apparent death. But that still leaves open room for several different interpretations. Headcanon away, Blizzard won’t bother explaining anything anyway.

This is what i’ve come to as well.
Loa’s death bringing such an tremoring collapse through all prelates in that they had to recover for a little while. Until it came back to them. This is also why I don’t think it’s really about Rezan, but something else.
To be honest, I think this was the idea why Zandaladins weren’t going to be a thing. So they could make Rezan be a more key component to the Zandaladin archetype.
Cant paladins worship Shirvallah as their light loa? Instead of Rezan… ![:thinking:](https://d1bg94bbsh66ji.cloudfront.net/en/wow/images/emoji/twitter/thinking.png?v=6" ":thinking:")
One of prelate said that they’re still loyal to his teachings but as High Prelate Rata said their job is to serve any loa.
So I believe they’re still loyal to Rezan but they must assist other loas now.
I particulary like the Idea of prelate that follows Graal.
I am of opinion that if Zandaladins weren’t going to be a thing then Blizzard wouldn’t intoduce them to begin with. Horde was in dire need of another paladin option.
Think the plan was for them not to be there, and then came the outcry for Kul’tiran mages + the feed back of wanting troll paladins.
They couldn’t change it on the last minute, they purposely left them last for reveal. Kul’Tirans quickly got them because of outcry and because Afrasiabi intervened. But you can’t add such a class that requires creation of extra mount like that.
who knows.
Blizzard has tons of assets they never use in their development x-D
I don’t think this particular mount was the case.
kind of just a reskinned Rhinox mount.
