Druidic Connection
So I don't know if anyone else has made this connection but it only just recently occurred to me. Forewarning I will be discussing Cataclysm lore her so if you wish to maintain your expansion innocence stop reading and come back at a later date for more thought provoking rants from yours truly. Back to the topic at had. In cataclysm we learn the origins of the Worgen Curse. Druids of the Claw paid their respect to Ursoc and Ursol, while Druids of the Talon paid theirs to Aviana, and so on and so forth, well there was a sec of druid who follow the wolf ancient Goldrinn. By using his power they were able to take on a half-elf half-wolf form, but it was extremely feral and wild and much more difficult to control when compared to the forms of other druids. Thus they lost control and became trapped in this feral form. Now what we see here is a group of people channeling the power of more powerful animal-like beings and taking on their forms. I repeat we see night elves channeling the power of ancients and taking on their form. Once more we see troll channeling the power of loa and taking on their form. See what I did there. Basically what we consider feral druidism, or rather the basic principles of it, have been par of troll lore since Zul'Gurub All of the high priests prophets and high prophets have essentially been doing the same thing as the night elves for the entire existince of WoW just with Loa instead of Ancients. Troll cat for could draw from Shirvallah or Kimbul, both Tiger Loa, bear form from Rhunok or Nalorakk, and flight form (and moonkin form?) from Akil'zon or possibly even hir'eek (still praying for a bat form for troll flight form) more importantly it would differentiate them from other druids the same way Tauren paladins differ from all other paladins.

I generally enjoy reading your posts.
ReplyDeleteHowever, I'd really like you to use paragraphs. Your wall of text crits me for 10k each time I read them.
Sorry about that. A lot of the time i just sort of blaze through an idea and post it. When it's a one topic piece like this one i forget about to hit the enter button. I'll try to work on it for future posts.
