Changes: Ula-Tek

Revision as of 21:37, 13 August 2007

Ula-tek is a goddess serpent, who is widely worshipped among Forest Trolls in Zul'Aman. Lands of Conflict contends that she may be an Old God and connected to the Old Gods and Zul'aman's equivalent to Hakkar.Template:Cite She is apparently worshiped as a loa, although she isn't confirmed to be one. The Amani capital of Zul'Aman contains the Shrine of Ula-tek (which may predate the Amani Empire to Old Gods or Titan times).

She is not to be confused with the other two serpent gods, Hethiss (revered by Venoxis) and Damballa worshiped in Zul'Gurub and by Shadow Hunters respectively.

Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

The RPG contends that there may be a connection between Loas and Old Gods (including the possibility that Loas may be the offspring of the Old gods).

It is unclear if her shrine will be seen in the upcoming Zul'aman raid, or serve any importance.

The name "Ula-tek" could be a reversal of the name Cthulhu (oo-lah-tek/uh-luh-tc). Note that in the movie Heavy Metal the god-creature the cultists summon is called Ullatec, with a similar reverse-pronunciation.
