In the Zul'Drak quests, the troll gods are dying right and left, whereas it took considerable force just to kill a tiny corner of C''thun. How powerful are the troll animal gods compared to Old Gods, Elune, and Titans, and where do they get their powers from?

And what's the difference between the gods in Zul'Drak, and the gods of Zul'Aman? They overlap in species, but the ZA gods seem to be more ethereal than the ZD gods.

I would assume that the Troll gods are eternals, similar to Ursoc and Ursol or Malorne. From what I understand, the Old Gods are the ultimate powers on Azeroth, inferior in power to the titans alone.

And as far as differences between different Troll gods, I would guess that they just happen to be whatever animal spirits they make contact with, as all three of the major Troll Empires seem to have their own animal gods, which may or may not overlap.

The Loa (the troll gods) are most likely similar to the Ancients and Eternals: powerful demi-gods that owe their "godhood" mainly to the fact that they are strong, long-lived, and have come to be worshipped by lesser beings.
