Zandalari Paladin Voice Over - Patch 8.1.0

[Clozer]

It was clear from the beginning. Kul'tiras shamans meant Zandalari paladins. It's always fair and even.

[Khaza-R]

Aren't all priest and paladins in WoW generic light worshippers?

They shouldn't be.

But yeah, more or less. Its the problem with mechanics vs lore.

[MrKnubbles]

Would be awesome if they had like unique animations and spell names tho. Seeing a Zandalari in Judgement armor popping wings n shit is gonna be weird

Kind of like how super weird it is to see a Tauren in Paladin gear?

[RobertMugabe]

Ha ha yeah, maybe even as weird as a tauren!

Yes. Tauren Paladins are still stupid even after so many years, but Zandalari would look even more stupid

[Skulltaker]

Said it befor, I'd assume these are the voice lines of the devoted Loa worshippers the Alliance faces in the Council of Loas encounter.

So Mag'har can be Paladins, because Dark Iron can be Shaman?

No, the ratio between alliance shamans and horde paladins is even. Let's be real here dwarfs are dwarfs with dark skin or not.

With Bwonsamdi, I'd rather be a Zandalari Death Knight now.

I want

"The reckoning is at hand" is a direct copy of a quote Blood Elves use....VERY interesting.

Without the taint of fel-blood, there isn't any real reason why an orc couldn't be a paladin. :/

Can Zandalari be DKs? Can Dark Iron dwarves?

Both of those races were around long enough, and had exposure to the scourge, that there's no reason why they shouldn't be able, IMO.

With the proper training most creatures alive should be able to invoke the light, and become paladins. Or some form of Paladin, for that matter. Orcs tend to be very opposed to the paladin ideals of order, discipline and righteousness, and instead prefer honor and ferocity, and thus align closer to nature and elemental magic. An orc raised by a paladin, on the other hand, could easily become one, I'd assume. It is just so uncommon that Blizz hasn't made the option available, just like Pandaren Death Knights, which exist, but aren't playable either.

Dark Iron can't. I assume Allied races thus far cannot be Death Knights for the simple reason of heritage armour and the 'level it to max' requirement.

On the other hand you can argue that Dark Iron, until very recently, were rather secluded, and nowhere near where the scourge roamed, and the same goes for Zandalari. I assume that there are some of both, but in such a small number that they don't warrent mentioning, lorewise.

Oh for the love... how would that make any sense? Lich king was being controlled by Bwonsamdi or something? You do know that's where DK's start?

No. They could be DK's, just like Kul'tirans could canonically, but no Bwonsamdi. Though probably they won't cause the hero class and allied race systems don't do well together.



Aaanyways, these voice clips don't necessarely mean theres more than a paladin npc. So... let's not get ahead of ourselves.

[Vonazak]

She sounds very like a crusader to me.

LOA VULT INFIDEL!

As a proud Zandalari Paladin i would join Yrel's effort to cleanse all realities from the impure and the heretic <3

[Mezoteus]

Please, please, PLEASE let us be Zandalari Paladins!

[Shibito]

Damn fanatics us real zandalari paladins control the light WE COMMAND IT, we dont serve it.

[Baracuda]

And still no Forsaken paladin.

[Pebrocks The Warlock]

And still no Forsaken paladin.

And it should stay that way forever.

[Vonazak]

Damn fanatics us real zandalari paladins control the light WE COMMAND IT, we dont serve it.

Damn heretics, the real zandalari paladins ENFORCE THE LOA WILL into the heretics, ideally breaking their skulls with our weapons blessed by the Light, and with that power we will CLEANSE Azeroth from all these impure lifeforms. First Azeroth, then the universe and all realities!

Have them start at level 58 or 60 right in front of Bwonsamdi with a portal to Orgrimmar. No starting zone. Normal Zandalari will also start at level 20 on Zandalar and then take a portal to Orgrimmar, with no starting zone of their own, just like other Allied Races.

According to the wiki, the Zandalari have been pretty widespread throughout the history of Azeroth. But the most relevant info is from the wiki, where Zandalari trolls would have had direct exposure to the scourge and Arthas in northrend:

"The Zandalari trolls traveled to Zul'Drak in Northrend to record the fall of the Drakkari to the Scourge. They established bases at Zim'Torga and Dubra'Jin. In doing so, they discovered that the Drakkari were killing their loa to obtain their powers. This was something new; in the recent conflicts at Zul'Aman and Zul'Gurub the loa had been imprisoned, not outright killed. The Zandalari opposed the Drakkari in their efforts to slay their gods, but still did not help them against the Scourge."

But I think you have a point about the seclusion of the Dark Irons. They're pretty common in the eastern kingdoms down around badlands and Blackrock Mountain. But I can't think of any real scourge presence in the same areas Dark Irons occupy in numbers that would allow for DKs to be anything other than a rare exception, similar to the Panda DKs you mentioned.

Overall, however, I think the point about DKs circumventing the heritage armor process is a problem Blizzard just doesn't want to tackle. :/

[Jetstream]

Aren't all priest and paladins in WoW generic light worshippers?

No. Night Elf Priests worship Elune. Tauren Priests worship An'she. Troll Priests worship the Loa. And that Paladin voice over still talked about the Loa.

[Nerevar]

But it's all essentially "the light". Just under different names.
