SO. . . Server of Wyrmrest Accord-US. . . Me and a couple of friends are tryin' to make a "cult" of sorts.
Not the stereo-typical Burning Legion cult, nor the Cult of Shadow (or whatever it's called). We wanted to do a cult surrounding one of the old Troll-ish Loas.
Then the argument began. Which god/goddess? WHAT god/goddess? Does lore even support that? Do we go with one of the gods already implemented in-game? Do we search through WoWWiki tryin' to find somethin'? And SO ON and SO FORTH!
We're at a standoff between what sorta guild we should do. I think we should do some sort of Snake Loa, and the other two are torn between Wolf (Mary-Sueish animal in the entire frickin' world) and a Shark Loa.
SO. . . WOWHeaders. . . Which animal should we do? And if so. . . What -should- we do, event-wise and all that other crap?

Look up stuff on the Loa's themselves, before you try to set something up. There is a massive difference between a Loa and an Animal Spirit/God and you dont want to get those mixed up, trust me heh.

Go with Hakkar. Be an Atal'ai or Hakkari. It's too awesome for words.
FEAR THE SERVANTS OF THE BLOOD GOD!

Some scholars view voodoo as a type of animism, and to an extent that theory is true. The trolls' religion of voodoo takes a decidedly different bent than the shamanistic beliefs of the orcs and tauren, though.
Animism is different from voodoo, animism focus on the spirit of the world, a Loa is a spirit creature that takes a form; be it animal human or godlike being.

Hakkar could present some interesting PVP and RP options. No real need to look into WOWwiki, as far as I understand it's common place for trolls to make up their own Loas and rituals. I suppose the who to follow and what to do would depend on your group. Would you consider yourselves bad nasty trolls or just mildly unpleasant? Jungle, forest, or nomad? Personally I wouldn't pick wolf, way overused. Snake is groovy and fairly versatile; fits for almost any environment (Northrend not so much) and disposition. Shark would be good for a group that spends alot of time on the coast and considers themselves pretty brutal. Activities can include defending the place of worship, cermonies, sacrifices through pvp, and must include party party party. Have fun!

OKAY!
Thanks for the good answers, people! Think we have it figured out now. And as for Calilac's questions:
I'd say the cult's going to be more of a mixture of various troll clans come together to worship a certain animal god. My friend dropped his suggestion about the wolf. . . But now he's going for raptor.
Oh, and as for that brutal/slightly unpleasant question. . . Let's just say, my troll warrior named Bornaii, who's going to be the Warcaller of the cult. . . Will sooner splice you open from forehead to crotch than talk to you.
