They won't know what hit them!

I am intriqued by this. However, I am wondering, which class would serve/worship which Loa? I know the Prelates (Paladins) serve Rezan and the Druids serve Gonk. If I would be a Warrior or a Shaman which Loa would I worship?

Whatever Loa has a philosophy that aligns with your troll. You could totally have a warrior of Rezan or a warrior of Gonk. The druids of Gonk are just specific disciples of the raptor Loa that were trusted with shapeshifting magic by Gonk and his inner circle. The same for prelates of Rezan. If you want to play a not-particularly-favored servant of a Loa, then warrior's a great class for that. Whether you want to roleplay a blessed warrior of a Loa or just a common soldier that worships a Loa, here's a few that I recommend:

  • Torcali, the Moving Mountain and the Wandering Bulwark, a Direhorn Loa. He seems to have a theme of being hardy and durable. A blessed disciple of Torcali is likely able to withstand countless wounds and could be represented by a Protection Warrior.
  • Gonk, the Great Hunter and the Lord of the Pack, a Raptor Loa. While he is the Loa of shapes, he can also be thought of as the Loa of pack hunters and teamwork. I wouldn't be shocked if he's a common choice for the professional soldiery of Zandalar.
  • Rezan, the King of Kings, a Devilsaur Loa. A demanding Loa that asks for nothing less than excellence, that values actions over words. While his elite followers are prelates that are chosen from birth, a warrior devoted to Rezan is likely to pursue mastery of his favored weapon and chosen form of warfare.
  • Krag'wa the Huge, a Frog Loa. He is a great and mighty creature that annihilates his foes with a combination of momentum and girth. He currently only has one chosen follower, but a blessed disciple of Krag'wa is likely to share the unstoppable, explosive strength of Krag'wa. You can even imagine Heroic Leap as being an ability that he bestows upon his chosen, so that they might jump almost as far as he can.
  • Kimbul, the Prey's Doom and the King of Cats, a Tiger Loa. He has been shown to be a vengeful and vicious hunter, although he has a sense of honour. He is currently without any true disciples and his temple is in ruins, but you could play your character as a minor follower who shares Kimbul's obsession with the hunt and takes inspiration from the Loa's savagery.
    • Really, you could roleplay a warrior as an unremarkable troll who worships almost any Loa, but I'd say those are the iconic ones. A lot of this is my interpretation of existing lore.

    I couldn't add more truth to Taxania's post, a detailed description of some well fitting loa.

    Thank you for this!

    Shaman seem to be leaning towards Akunda the loa of storms and new beginnings.
    There is some questing with him in vol'dun

    The first guild of the fold is almost up and running! You can find the guild thread by following this link:

    Ahoy, Kreknitz pointed me towards this direction, and there is something that I was kinda hoping of discussing, in regards to Zandalari. More a case of "Discussing possibilities for a character" than anything.

    So as I have shared on the thread linked above, I have a character planned who's summary is more or less "Exile after killing Blood Trolls in his village", and I have now been pondering if the exile should be in Vol'dun, or he managed to leave Zandalar himself after the deed on a small boat, and ended up on the shores of Kalimdor through certain means.

    So I guess my question would be, is it at all possible that a Zandalari Troll could sail off from Zandalar? I imagine that it is possible if they are well aware that they may end up weathering nasty storms and possible pirates who see a lone Troll on a small boat sailing who knows where and decide to adopt him as a deck swabber, only for things to happen and then winds up in Kalimdor.

    Buuut, if that doesn't work, and it is a more likely situation that he got exiled because he showed himself as a threat to the arrival of G'huun, are there going to be any people playing the Exile role? If yes, then hopefully we shall meet and hunt down a vicious creature together. If no, then... I courteously invite you to join me in Exile.

    Either way, looking forward to when I will be able to play as a Zandalari.

    Bumping for the sake of keeping the idea relevant (And I am also hoping to hear if anyone has a suggestion to my idea above)

    I'd say that if the troll himself choose exile before anything "official" was done, then it would be possible to come back after everything went down with the Blood Trolls.

    However I'd say it's up in the air if he should share what he did with other trolls.
    On one hand he did the right thing, looking back.
    On the other hand he ran away and that could be seen as cowardly and Zandalari aren't about that.
    33
    I am not quite sure what you mean. Cowardly because he chose to self-exile himself to essentially avoid judgement? Well I guess you could argue it as that, but it is still him saying "Okay, I did something that the law frowns upon, so I will spare the pleasantries and go by myself", so it would be him taking responsibility over his action?

    It really is an interesting thing to ponder on, and I will put more considerstion on it once Zandalariy Trolls actually become a reality.
