If you ask the Zandalari trolls who is the evil god, most people's first reaction will be the blood god G'huun.
But if this problem is magnified to the entire troll community in Azeroth, the general answer of the three troll empires is likely to be different from Zandalari. They will all point to another person with the name of the Blood God. Evil Loa - Hakkar the Soultaker.
Hakkar, the god of wind serpents, all the wind serpents in Azeroth are his descendants, including even Quethrun and Saronya, who are also wind serpents Loa.
In the troll cultural circle, Hakkar is the undisputed evil god. Zandalar has repeatedly banned all trolls from believing in Hakkar.
However, this is of no use.
The followers of the Soul Reaver, known as Hakkarai, are spread all over the world. The well-known troll clans known to Sharlayan alone include Gurubashi, Evil Branch, Amani, Sandfury, etc.
Sarlayan even suspected that among the Dakkar trolls living in the far north, there would inevitably be followers of Hakkar, but they would not blatantly announce their identities.
The reason why this evil god recognized by the world has so many believers is actually very simple, because it is strong enough.
In its heyday, Haka was a supermodel Loa on the same level as the kings of Loa. Its strength was far above that of other Loa at all levels.
Quesluen and Salonya, who came to worship from Dhaka, were only descendants of Haka, and they had long since severed ties with Haka, the ancestor of the wind serpent who had been sealed for a long time.
Even so, if you don't count the "monster" Loa on Zandalari, Queslun and Salonya can still be ranked in the middle and upper reaches of many Loa.
Just a few years ago, Hakkar broke free from the seal and returned to Azeroth.
Yes, it was the jungle troll civil war that took place in Stranglethorn Valley. Jindu, the sorcerer of the Gurubashi clan, tried his best to summon Hakkar again.
However, due to Jindu's little thoughts, the strength of Haka who was summoned at that time was severely limited, and he was far from his peak.
With the help of the Zandalari envoys headed by Princess Talanji, the Darkspear Trolls successfully defeated and sealed Hakkar again.
But it is obviously impossible to say how strong this seal is.
After all, this is just a seal set by mortals. At most, Talanji can borrow part of the power of the kings Loa Lazan.
However, Laizan's body is far away from the Holy Mountain of Zuldazar, so the power of long-distance transmission will inevitably weaken.
Fortunately, Haka summoned by Jindu was not a complete body. Laizan's partial power and Haka, who was not at his peak, just happened to stage a scene of novices pecking each other. Finally, Haka was re-exiled to a specialized place. In the subplane that seals it.
After Stranglethorn Vale returned to peace under the new overlord of the Darkspear clan, Sharlayan heard important information from Vol'jin, the crown prince of the jungle trolls.
In the final battle of Zul'Gurub, the blood lord Mandokir and the sorcerer Jin'do did not fight to the end. They unanimously chose to escape after the battle situation fell into a disadvantage.
Not long ago, Sarlayan obtained another piece of information from Melinsela. The Temple of Atal'Hakkar, guarded by the Green Dragon Legion, had recently undergone changes.
In addition to supervising Lai Thorne during Melinsera's trip, there was also an investigation task that Yinserra secretly assigned to her.
Find out the whereabouts of Hakkar's Egg.
1,500 years ago, Hakkar the Soultaker was first summoned to Azeroth in his soul form by the Gurubashi clan who were trying to revitalize the empire.
Under the full attack of the frightened and angry Zandalari, which invested a large number of loa, Hakkar was defeated and exiled and sealed in the last step before materializing.
Atalai, Hakkar's priest, was driven out of Zul'Gurub like a street rat. He fled into the black swamp in the northeast of Stranglethorn Vale and built a temple dedicated to Hakkar in this inaccessible swamp area. ——Attakaha Temple.
After that, Atalai tried many times to bring Hakkar back to the material world. Before being discovered and suppressed by the Green Dragon Legion, they actually achieved some results, that is, Hakkar could host part of Hakkar's soul. of eggs.
Under the influence of the many evil spells of the Atalai priests, the animal and plant ecology near the Attakaha Temple was severely damaged. This abnormal situation attracted the attention of the Green Dragon Queen Yinseira who happened to be passing by.
The priests of Atalai were unaware of Yin Sera's concern, and their behavior was unrestrained.
Yin Sera, who was watching the whole process, quickly figured out their origin and purpose, and without hesitation sent severe punishment from the guardian dragon to the Atalhaka Temple.
Destroyed by Yin Sera's power, the outer walls of the majestic temple collapsed and its foundations were shaken. The entire huge temple sank into the earth, and the muddy swamp lake submerged most of the sunken temple.
Suffering another heavy blow, the Atalai priests fled the sunken temple in fear and hid in the depths of the swamp like headless flies.
Yin Sera was worried that Atalai would secretly return to the sunken temple in the future, so she arranged for some members of the Green Dragon Legion to be stationed in the Black Swamp for a long time.
After the destruction of the Orc invasion, the Black Swamp, which was largely polluted by fel energy, was divided into two parts. The southern part became the desolate wasteland now known as the Cursed Land, while the northern part was renamed the Swamp of Sorrows.
Sarlayan didn't know why Jindu was able to summon the sealed Hakkar, but he thought it must have something to do with the descendants of Atalai priests who are still hiding in the Swamp of Sorrows.
So the question is, who can guarantee that there is only one egg of Hakkar that can host Hakkar's soul?
According to the information provided by the barrage, the Evil Branch clan in the original history was inextricably linked to Haka, which was in line with their no-taboo behavior.
Sarlayan didn't expect people who could unscrupulously carry out living sacrifices to have a high moral bottom line.
According to the latest news from the Green Dragon, which has been monitoring the Atalhaka Temple for a long time, there are signs of troll activities near the long-sunken temple.
Not long ago, the elite green dragon Yinsarios made a special trip to the Swamp of Sorrows.
After some detailed investigation, he suspected that there were a large number of Atalai priests lurking in the temple with an underwater entrance.
To this end, Yinsarios transformed into a high elf and visited Stormwind Fortress, telling King Varian of the Stormwind Kingdom the news.
Thalayan heard about this after returning from Notheron, and Varian had assigned a special investigation team under the command of Mathias Shore to delve into the Swamp of Sorrows to learn about the situation.
If Jindu really brought more than one Hakkar Egg from the temple, this blitzkrieg attack on Zinzalo would inevitably require Sharlayan to personally take action.
For the mortal Evil Branch Troll, it is not easy to break through the seal infused with Lazan's power.
Chief Hex of the Evil Branch came up with a way to use blood sacrifice to satisfy Hakkar, the soul-reaper known as the Blood God.
This is one of the reasons why the Evil Branches resort to Shunchang's death-defying tactics against their fellow forest trolls.
If Sharlayan's speculation is correct, eighty percent of the poor Briarblade clan was sacrificed to Hakkar by the Evilbranch Trolls. Their flesh, flesh and souls were plundered, leaving only a very few remnants that became entrenched. Ooze in Hidestone.
Hex originally wanted to work slowly and carefully. As the overlord force of the Hinterlands, they did not need to rush to summon the uncontrollable Hakkar at that time.
The troll's tricking and using Loa was a skill passed down from his ancestors. Hex had no intention of summoning the moody Soul Reaver until he figured out a way to control Hakkar.
The invasion of the Deadwood Trolls once made Hex hesitate to overturn her previous decision. The stalemate in the battle gradually gave up Hex's idea of taking risks. She believed that the Deadwood Trolls would eventually be defeated by the Evil Branch clan fighting at home.
However... plans can't keep up with changes.
While the main army of Evilbranch was busy fighting with the Witherwood Trolls, their home base of Zin'saro was suddenly attacked by green dragons.
If that was all, that would be it. The green dragon's attack didn't last long, and it left with satisfaction in less than half an hour.
The house leaked but it rained all night. After the green dragons evacuated, the Wildhammer dwarves and the Maltooth clan, who were obviously well prepared, took advantage of the chaos and surrounded them.
In addition to these two local natives, there are also a group of high elves who appeared out of nowhere.
After Sinsaro, which had no defense, was surrounded by enemies, and faced with the desperate situation of imminent annihilation of the entire race, Hex could no longer help but hesitate.
She took out a Hakkar egg that was traded from Jindu last year, and decided to sacrifice those tribesmen who were seriously injured in the green dragon attack, using the last large-scale blood sacrifice to remove the evil that Hakkar had only imposed a few years ago. New seal.
