Loas

Powerful beings that the Trolls worship for blessings and boons.

Loa
Loas are powerful spirits who have been a part of the world predating even the titans. Countless Loa exist, most weak, but some very powerful. Most are shapeless, whereas others have animal or creature forms.[1] Loas can grant wondrous boons or inflict terrible punishments to Trolls, and all Trolls are blessed with some regeneration by them.[2] Zandalari families often worship their own family Loas, cities usually have their own civic deities, and the greatest Loa are worshiped by the nation as a whole. Powerful, enlightened Zandalari can become Loas upon their death - or so it is believed.

The trolls draw power for their voodoo magics by performing rituals and invoking the Primal Gods, Old Gods,[12] forest spirits, and ancestral spirits: their Loa spirits and gods.

Loa spirits are more powerful than the elementals, but not as powerful as gods.[13] Supposedly, these spirits are mighty entities that grant the faithful extraordinary powers. By calling upon these Voodoo spirits, the shadow hunter gains special blessings with which he can combat darkness and help those in need. The abilities granted vary according to the Loa the shadow hunter calls upon.[14] Almost any being who has died and transcended death can be worshiped as a Loa, including Forsaken shadow ascendants.

The shadow hunters' faith and communion with the Loa Gods grants them Shadow and Healing magic, and other abilities. Shadow Hunters learn magic that hinders enemies and aids allies, gaining a unique mix of spells that delve into the more occult aspects of the Loa.

The Trolls of Zul'Aman worship primal beings they call the Forest Gods.
