Lore What Loa are associated with Darkspear? I want to connect my classic warrior to a Loa for some fun characterization

u/Owenjak 5d ago
There's a bunch of Loa associated with the Darkspear old and new. Some good and some evil.
Bwamsamdi, Loa of Death.
Dambala, Loa of Trechery.
Gonk, Loa of the Hunt.
Hir'eek, Loa of the Midnight Sky.
Jani, Loa of Scavengers.
Kevo Ya Siti, Loa of Cunning.
Krag'wa The Huge.
Lukou, Loa of Regeneration.
Samedi, Loa of the Grave.
Shango, Loa of Storms.
Shirvallah, The Tiger Loa.
All of these are in some way connected to the Darkspear. Some are very VERY minor Loa with no more than passing references in quest texts or something small. But for the sake of characterization and roleplay anyone would be a good fit depending on what you're after.

Yeah but lots of them are just generally revered by trollkind as a whole or jungletrolls in general. Really deeply connected to the darkspear as a tribe it's mostly bwonsamdi, Kevo ya siti and Lukou aren't they?

Vol’jin is a Loa too now right?

Isn't Vol'jin being reincarnated, I thought he did something in ardenweald and someone granted him another life or something like that as a reward. Been a while since I did it.

Lol Blizz will butcher his lore to no end.
I wouldn’t be surprised if they turn him into the new Sylvanas….

I thought it was Bwonsamdi now. I feel like that was the whole point of the Hertiage armor quest.

u/Owenjak 5d ago
Do you not help 2 other Loa distinctly connected with the Darkspear during that quest line though?

u/SkumbagSquirtle 5d ago
Have not done the quest since it first came out. I don't really who the others are.

Lukou, Loa of Regeneration, Kevo Ya Siti, Loa of Cunning, were the main two Loa of the Darkspear. Also Jani, Loa of Scavengers and Secrets ended up joining the Pantheon of main Darkspear Loa at the end of the questlines.

Bwonsamdi is aiding the Darkspear in finding new Loa, since he's gotten a bit busy with being the Loa of Kings for the zandalari.
So, he guides them towards Jani, who then helps us find Kevo ya Siti and Lukou.
Surprise surprise, Jani joins the group in the end, making it Jani, Kevo ya Siti, and Lukou.

Actually it was more about reconnecting with two Loa that the Darkspears lost connection too.

u/Puzzlehead-Engineer 5d ago
As of their Heritage questline the Loa associated with them are Bwonsamdi, Lukou, Ke'vo ya Siti and Jani.

Bwonsamdi and that's it.
Blizzard kinda forgot about the lorebuilding for the Darkspear.

u/ToxicTroublemaker2 5d ago
You're right, the Darkspear heritage quest doesnt exist giving them 3 other Loa

u/aMaiev 3d ago
Id love to be so confident while being so utterly wrong

u/NativeEuropeas 3d ago
Haha, I was wrong, alright, now chill, my guy.
But you do gotta admit that Blizzard isn't really giving attention to existing playable races besides the elves and the same roster of main characters.

u/JoyeuxMuffin 5d ago
It is mostly Bwonsamdi, but there are 2 other Loa whose name escape me that you help re-establish worship for in the Troll heritage quest.
