Look, dis has gone on long enough, <name>. I am not one to hold a grudge, but I will be damned if I let you double dip with Raal's loa and my own.
Time has come to pick a loa. De loa are not de sharing type.

If you choose
- Gonk, Lord of the Pack you will get access to [npc=131184] all over the Zuldazar -> Raptari Rider
[npc=131184] - 40% move speed and half fall damage for 30sec- Pa'ku, Master of Winds you will get access to [npc=131154] all over the Zuldazar -> Paku'ai
[npc=131154] - small windriders, use it and fly to some defined location, fast, but you have to find their locations and learn the navigation systemSpeak with Chronicler Ash'tari to switch loa later in Dazar'alor if you want to.

[npc=137510] location: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t9u1SdUw-cWhat should you choose:
If you don't have any gathering profession and will use windriders most of the time, then choose Pa'ku. Utill mini widriders in Dazar'alor are cool.
If you want to mine/gather something in Zuldazar, then probably you can choose Gonk, because his totems are all over the zone. Also helps with faster questing in the zone.Picking a Side quest video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuZm1d2cliQ

The Throne of Zuldazar <= for more info about orderYou can switch sides later, but right now i can't turn in quest after switch (phasing bug)
If like me, you really want to change from a quick run (Gonk) to being able to use the flight loa, go to /way Dazar'alor:Zuldazar 50.68, 35.41 and talk to Chronicler Ashtari. She can switch your loa choice for you.
If you play a troll druid and want some immersion, then I advise picking Gonk. According to Zen'tabra way back in the troll starting zone, Gonk is the one who taught them to be druids.
