[edit] Atal´Loa
((This Whole Wiki is Being Re-Written, sorry for inconvenience))
This cannot be our destiny... to succumb to savage ignorance while the young races flourish?
Deep within the dark mystic jungles of stranglethorn Vale live the Atal´Loa. -A gathering of individual trolls from all tribes who seek to unite the trolls of Azeroth under one banner and guide the race off the path to damnation into a new era of glory.
The Loa have not and will never abandon those faithful to them, only the power of the spirits who enabled our kin to dominate Azeroth in the past may allow us to do so again!
These spiritual folk named themselves ´Atal´Loa´ for a reason, the words mean "Devoted To The Loa" in Zandali, the langue of all trolls.
...A society ruled by the strong, the cunning and the bloodthirsty.

[edit] Loa
What are the Loa? (from wowwiki)
-The trolls’ religion takes a decidedly different dark bent than the shamanistic beliefs of the orcs and tauren, though. Trolls have a complex belief system involving malign spirits and their effect on the world, but no scholar has established what is truth and what is simply long-held belief. All trolls come from a dark and bloodthirsty history of sacrifice, cannibalism and black magic. They consider spirits to be individuals much like living creatures. Spirits are greedy, hostile and dangerous. Trolls also believe their ancestors linger on as jealous spirits who miss the land of the living and require blood sacrifices to appease them. Trolls sacrifice and eat their enemies. They conduct these practices for two reasons. First, they believe the sacrifice of sentient creatures appeases malicious spirits. Second, they believe that after death, an enemy’s spirit can visit misfortune on its killer. By consuming the flesh of their enemies, trolls believe they can also consume their enemy’s spirit, or at least damage it enough to render it impotent. [1]
[edit] Loa information (basic):
Here is a 'basic' (more to come) list of some of the Loa we plan to follow, those who choose to follow and pay homage to a certain Loa will be pointed assignments which may please their Loa, for example; The trolls who follow Samedi will properly be sent to the Plaguelands to kill the undead trolls. (there are epic tasks like that for everyone! - we just have to figure more out).
Please note: the following Loa are considered Shadow Hunter Loa.
- Mueh'zala the Loa of death and terror towards the enemy.
"Mueh'zala blesses the Berserkers who ruthlessly give themselves in the battle, striking terror into the hearts of the most disciplined soldiers."
- The Loa Legba: a master of swift motion and stamina.
"The body is a temple", Legba guides those who need to trust in their psycical strength and speed."
- Lukou: the Loa of healing and respite.
"Lukou gives the discipline a healer needs"
- Ogoun: the Loa of war, battle and hexxing.
Ogoun guides those who practise the ways of war and destructive magic"
- Dambala: is the Loa of serpents and treachery, a cunning hunter and a merciless foe.
- Samedi: the Loa of cemeteries and the restful sleep of the dead. Samedi also gives strength to the living who mourn.
In Samedi’s eyes, the undead are abominations that should be destroyed
- Shango: controls the realm of storms the balance of nature.
Shango is a peaceful Loa who cares for the land but when angered, he will call down the wrath of the storm upon the defilers.
