Here is where you can interact with some of the Wild Gods in WoW:

Although Freya is imprisoned in Ulduar at the start of Wrath of the Lich King, her Avatar is guarding Sholazar Basin against the Scourge. You can aid her avatar in the El pacto de Freya quest series. This will send you to Un’Goro crater, open a Waygate portal and fight the Scourge while riding a giant.
In the Artifact Game Guide, Freya and the Wild Gods are tied to several artifact weapons: Scythe of Elune (Balance Druid, Gold’rinn), Fangs of Ashamane (Feral Druid, Ashamane), Claws of Ursoc (Guardian Druid, given by Freya to Ursoc), G'Hanir, the Mother Tree (Restoration Druid, Aviana), Fu'Zan, the Wanderer’s Companion (Brewmaster Monk, Freya’s walking stick given to Yu’lon).
Agamaggan was killed during War of the Ancients and created the Quillboar race. In Agamaggan, the player learns that the distinctive roots all around Horado Rajacieno and Zahúrda Rajacieno were created by Agamaggan’s blood when he sacrificed himself. In La carga de Agamaggan, you learn that Charlga Razorflank is corrupting the noble Quillboar race and the Spirit of Agamaggan asks you to kill her.
Aviana is best known from Pluma de Aviana, an item from Draenor that allowed you to temporarily fly before flying was implemented. She also has a significant role to players questing in Mount Hyjal (full questline in this comment, it starts with Una ofrenda para Aviana). Killed during the War of the Ancients, she is revived during the events in Cataclysm.
Ursoc and Ursol were twin bear brothers who fell in the War of the Ancients. They are worshiped by the furbolgs, and you can gain reputation with the furbolgs with Bastión Fauces de Madera. In Wrath of the Lich King, it is revealed that the fallen world tree Vordrassil is corrupting the furbolgs in Colinas Pardas, who have resurrected and corrupted Ursoc using the magic of the tree (Ursoc, el dios oso). In Legion, the Guardian Druid questline sends you to rescue Ursoc’s spirit, which is surrounded by satyr corruption in the Emerald Dream. This is set up to be a trap; Xavius then captures Ursoc, who later becomes a boss in the Emerald Nightmare raid.
Tortolla is a large ancient turtle in Hyjal. In Cataclysm, Tortolla is held captive by the Twilight Hammer, and you can rescue her in Tortolla habla.
Goldrinn, known as Lo’Gosh to the Horde, was worshipped by the Druids of the Scythe who led to the rise of the Worgen. In Monte Hyjal, players can purify the Shrine of Goldrinn (Lycanthoth el corruptor) and speak to Takrik Iraullido to learn more about Goldrinn.
The August Celestials were originally Wild Gods: Yu’lon, Niuzao, Xuen, and Chi-Ji. Read about their role in Pandaria in World of Warcraft: Chronicle.

Here is where you can interact with some of the Troll Loa in WoW:

Original Zul'Gurub housed the mortal champions of several Gurubashi loa. Suma sacerdotisa Jeklik for the Bat Hir'eek, Sumo sacerdote Venoxis for the Snake Hethiss, Suma sacerdotisa Mar'li for the Spider Shadra, Sumo sacerdote Thekal for the Tiger Shirvllah, and Suma sacerdotisa Arlokk for the Panther Bethekk. Unfortunately, these trolls became corrupted while they tried to contain Hakkar, the Blood God.
The Amani Loa are encountered in Zul'Aman: Akil'zon (Eagle), Nalorakk (Bear), Jan'alai (Dragonhawk), Halazzi (Lynx). You'll later find disciplines of these loa in Terrace of the Tribes in Zuldazar.
Battle for Azeroth adds many loa such as the Frog Loa Krag'wa el Enorme which comes with a matching mount, Rezan the devilsaur, Bwonsamdi the Loa of Death, Pa'ku Lord of the Winds, Gonk Lord of the Hunt, and Jani Loa of Garbage. You can read about their upcoming stories in our Nazmir and Zuldazar playthroughs.

Zandalari Society

In the Battle for Azeroth alpha, we get to visit Zuldazar and witness society first-hand.

The Royal Chambers of Dazar'Alor are home to King Rastakhan. This is an elite area just for the chosen Zandalari - even the Horde are given a cool reception. If you'd like to learn more about King Rastakhan in BFA, check out our article on the Prelates of Rezan (Spoilers). You'll also find the dungeon Atal'Dazar the resting place of the Zandalari kings.
Exploring further in Zuldazar, you'll find the bustling harbor. Here you'll also find the darker side of Zandalari society--homeless vagrants who had no connection to the loa. Sacerdotisa Vulja is also testing children for their connections to the loa, and even comments that "Those that fail both tests are of no use to us. They'll probably end up thieving in the docks or begging in the Zocalo."
The Zocalo is a lively meeting-place in Zuldazar with merchants, an Inn filled with drums, and Jani the Loa of Garbage. Nearby you'll find the Terrace of the Chosen where the followers of Gonk and Pa'ku, engaged in a friendly rivalry, reside.

Aqir and Troll War

We first meet Kith'ix when Tyr came up with a plan to thwart Loken; Los Discos de Norgannon were stolen and taken to Uldaman, guarded by Archaedas. Loken retaliated by sending C’Thraxxi generals after Tyr—Zakazj and Kith’ix. Tyr sacrificed himself to kill Zakazj and Kith'ix narrowly survived. You can learn about the corruption in Tirisfal Glades via the Shadow Priest, Arms Warriors, and Holy Paladin artifact quests.
We later learn through the Xal'atath Artifact Book that the Shadow Priest artifact essentially started the war. It whispered and encouraged the witch doctor Zan'do to disturb Kith'ix's resting place.
The location of Kith'ix death later became the location for the WoW dungeon Zul'Aman.

Mogu

The Mogu played a large role in Mists of Pandaria. Their culture is reflected in archaeology solves like Brazo de terracota and Látigo de huesos petrificado. The dungeon Palacio Mogu'shan and raid Cámaras Mogu'shan added at Mists of Pandaria's launch provide a closer look at this culture.
Lei Shen and Ra Den are encounters in Solio del Trueno. Ra Den opened as a special heroic-only, limited-attempt boss.
Legado del Trueno reveals more lore about Lei Shen’s rule - these scrolls are scattered about the isle of Thunder. Several archaeology items also relate to Lei Shen: Edictos del Rey del Trueno and Insignia del Rey del Trueno.
Lei Shen died of old age, but was resurrected in Mists of Pandaria. Isla del Trueno and Solio del Trueno were added in Patch 5.2.
Many archaeology solves reference the slavery of the Mogu: Libro mayor de monumentos desgastado, Hierro de marcar de Señor de la Guerra, Brazo de terracota, Esposas de rebelión, Juego de té pandaren
The objects needed for El corazón oscuro de los mogu give more details on the Mogu’s slavery practices.
Puño de Ra Den is Highkeeper Ra's weapon, gifted to him by Aman'Thul in the War against the Black Empire.

Defeat by Tolvir

Uldum was initially a verdant zone, but players find it primarily a desert. Several areas can be restored to a jungle after completing Harrison Jones y el Templo de Uldum. Uldum was sealed off from the rest of Azeroth from classic WoW through Wrath of the Lich King, and was finally open for questing in Cataclysm, intended for level 80-90 players.
Cámaras de los Orígenes is a dungeon in Uldum. Originally intended to research new races, in Cataclysm it is the source of energy that could wipe out Azeroth. The four constructs are Isiset, Ammunae, Setesh, and Rajh.
The Ramkahen is one of the three clans/tribes of the Tol'vir race living in Uldum - the Orsis and the Neferset being the other two. You can earn reputation with this faction! At Exalted, players can purchase Riendas del camello de montar marrón or Riendas del camello de montar canela, as well as obtain Ramkahen.

Pandaren Revolution

The Pandaren were added as a playable race in the Mists of Pandaria expansion.They can be Cazador, Mago, Monje, Sacerdote, Pícaro, Chamán, Guerrero. Their faction mounts include Riendas de la tortuga dragón morada and Riendas de la gran tortuga dragón morada.
The unique “dancing” style can be seen in the martial arts animations of the Monk class in combat. Preview all of these animations in the Wowhead Dressing Room.
andaren begin on La Isla Errante--a unique experience as they quest while neutral with both factions. Life on the Wandering Isle is pacific and enlightening until the day the Wandering Isle travels through the seas near Azeroth’s Maelstrom. The ground becomes unstable, crops wilt, and Shen-zin Su seems to wobble in the ocean, drifting in an unsteady pattern that may be a death spiral. The entire continent of Pandaria is also dedicated to the culture of the Pandaren: Cima Kun-Lai, Estepas de Tong Long, El Bosque de Jade, Espesura Krasarang, Valle de los Cuatro Vientos, Valle de la Flor Eterna, Isla Intemporal. If you need help leveling in these zones or want an overview of fun quests or rewards, check out our Leveling from 80-90: Cataclysm and Mists of Pandaria guide.
There are five lore shrines scattered around Pandaria which tell of Kang’s story, the Pandaren who helped start the slave revolution. Reading these shrines grants the achievement Por qué merece la pena luchar. You can learn more about the lore of Pandaria by finding scrolls for the Los Eremitas faction. Instead of completing dailies or zone quests like most other Pandaren factions, players gain reputation by visiting monuments, completing achievements, and hearing folktales
Cloud serpents are a unique style of mount added in Pandaria. Notable mounts include Riendas del dragón nimbo astral and Riendas del dragón nimbo rubí tronador.
Players can gain reputation with Orden del Dragón Nimbo to learn how to ride cloud serpents like Riendas del dragón nimbo dorado. For this reputation grind, you help raise a hatchling to maturity and compete in races with other cloud serpent riders. This faction rewards jewelcrafting panther patterns, capturable wild serpent battle pets, pet toys, and cloud serpent mounts. You can learn full details in the Order of the Cloud Serpent guide.

Night Elves and Azshara

We have an entire article dedicated to the history of the Night Elves in World of Warcraft Chronicle Volume 1.
In Pozo de la Eternidad, players go back in time to experience the events of the War of the Ancients. In this dungeon, players face Reina Azshara and fight her loyal Highborne as she tries to mind control you. This boss has a unique elven robe and character model - it's the first time players saw Azshara in a non-naga form in game.
At BlizzCon 2017 we learned that Azshara will be a raid boss in Battle for Azeroth. Her ties to the Old God N'Zoth led to speculation that Battle for Azeroth would secretly be an Old Gods expansion. While she is not in the first raid Uldir, that raid has a Titan Disc Encounter with spells themed after the Old Gods. We also made an overview of Old God references found at BlizzCon 2017.
During the Battle for Azeroth alpha, Azshara is referenced in several storylines (spoilers). Check out her references in the Horde questline and Alliance questline.

Blood Elves and Amani

The Elfo de sangre is a playable Horde race added in Burning Crusade, which starts questing in Quel'Thalas - Bosque Canción Eterna and Tierras Fantasma. The capital city of the Blood Elves is Ciudad de Lunargenta and you can see many screenshots on the database page. You can also learn more about the later history of the elves in La fundación de Quel'Thalas, La Fuente del Sol: la caída de Quel'Thalas, El levantamiento de los elfos de sangre.
Jintha is the namesake of Jintha'Alor, a Vilebranch Troll city in Tierras del Interior. In this level 30-60 questing zone, you will explore the conflict between the Wildhammer Dwarves and the Trolls. In Vasijas oscuras we learn that the Vilebranch used to drink the blood of Hakkar, but now drink the blood of the spider loa.
Zul'Aman was first added as a 10-player raid in Burning Crusade and then re-released as a 5-player dungeon in Cataclysm. Both versions of Zul'Aman were notable for having a time trial. Killing each of the first four bosses (Nalorakk, Akil'zon, Jan'alai, Halazzi) and rescuing their hostage added one piece of bonus loot and extra time onto the timer. Completing the run in time awarded Oso de guerra Amani in TBC (now removed) and Oso de batalla Amani which players can still obtain.
The bosses of Zul'Aman dropped armor with unique troll appearances. You can check these out in the Transmog Database or on the ZA Loot Page.
The trash of Zul'Aman can drop Vara de brujería Amani. Use these on Forest Frogs to summon a variety of NPCs that sell potions, reagents, and Tubo de pergamino lacrado which can contain old Darkmoon Cards and enchants. They can also place down Caja de talismán de los Amani which grants buffs to use in the instance. However the most interesting use by far of the the Vara de brujería Amani is getting the battle pet Mojo.

Kezan

Goblin is a playable Horde race added in Cataclysm. They can be Death Knight, Hunter, Mage, Priest, Rogue, Shaman, Warlock, Warrior and their racial mount is a Llave de turbo triciclo goblin. Their special racial abilities are El tiempo es oro, Los mejores precios del mercado, Es cuestión de química, Hobgoblin de bolsillo, Tromba de cohetes, Salto con cohete.
Goblins have green skin and stand around 4' tall. They have 8 fingers and toes as opposed to the usual 10 and 10. They tend to have long arms and wear their hair in wild styles like mohawks. Create your appearance in Wowhead's Dressing Room.
Kezan is the starting zone for the Goblin race. Here you can find their bustling shady Bilgewater Port and engage in shady goblin business practices...until the volcano Mount Kajaro erupted. You can then continue questing in Las Islas Perdidas as the Goblins rebuild and ultimately decide to join the Horde.
You can purchase Kaja'Cola, which gives you ideas, from the Cataclysm Timewalking vendor. Check out this comment for some of the ideas your character has! Kaja’mite also plays a large role Kezan as your player character starts out owning a Kaja'mite mine with Troll slaves.
Undermine was originally the capital city of Kezan, which was abandoned when Mount Kajaro erupted. We will be going back to this zone as a dungeon Battle for Azeroth with the bosses Coin-Operated Crowd Pummeler, Tik'ali, Rixxa Fluxflame, and Mogul Razzdunk. The goblins here are focused on mining Azerite and becoming Azerite barons.

Zul'Gurub and Atal'Hakkar

Templo Sumergido is a dungeon located in the Swamp of Sorrows. The bosses are Sombra de Eranikus, Segasueños, Jammal'an el Profeta, and Avatar de Hakkar and you can find many screenshots of the instance on our zone page.
Before the Cataclysm revamp, Sunken Temple was related to the Green Scepter Shard storyline. There was also a quest series introducing the Zandalari Trolls, attempt to resurrect Hakkar, and dangers of Zul’Gurub: Los espíritus de los estridadores, Los espíritus de los estridadores, El huevo antiguo, El dios Hakkar, Las tablillas perdidas Mosh'aru, Las últimas tablillas, La confrontación con Yeh'kinya, La mano de Rastakhan, El corazón de Hakkar
Some of the interesting transmog loot from Sunken Temple includes Llamada del dragón, Abrazo de la serpiente alada, Sarong de escamas de viento, and Vestimentas del profeta Atal'ai. There are also several Green Dragonscale recipes - Patrón: leotardos de dragontina verde and Patrón: coraza de dragontina verde - as Sunken temple is a good source of Dragontina verde for skinners.
Zul'Gurub was originally a 20-player raid until Cataclysm. The original bosses were Suma sacerdotisa Jeklik for the Bat Hir'eek, Sumo sacerdote Venoxis for the Snake Hethiss, Suma sacerdotisa Mar'li for the Spider Shadra, Sumo sacerdote Thekal for the Tiger Shirvllah, and Suma sacerdotisa Arlokk for the Panther Bethekk, and Hakkar. There are also some optional encounters: Señor sangriento Mandokir, Jin'do el Aojador, Gahz'ranka, and Edge of Madness.
The final boss, Hakkar the Soulflayer, had a special Sangre corrupta mechanic which spread a deadly plague to players and pets. Players decided they could leave the instance and continue spreading the plague via pets, which led to a massive disease outbreak throughout Warcraft. The Corrupted Blood Incident was later used as a model for epidemic research.
Señor sangriento Mandokir and Jin'do el Aojador had a fun interaction - Señor sangriento Mandokir would yell "Ding!" after killing players and leveling up, while Jin'do el Aojador would yell "Grats!"
Gahz'ranka was also notable as a boss that needed to be spawned by fishing. This boss dropped some fishing-themed loot like Ejecutor de pescado de Nat Pagle as well as the coveted Escrito sobre Polimorfia: tortuga.
Original Zul’Gurub also had an complicated loot system. Bosses dropped various tokens which could be turned in for specific tier pieces, if you had the correct amount of reputation, on Yojamba isle. Collecting all these items created 5 piece tier sets. The trinket in the set, however, was more complicated to acquire. Players had to collect the class-specific voodoo doll, summon an Edge of Madness boss with the Locura de mojo Gurubashi created by Alchemists, and then collect all four animal pelts from the different bosses.
To earn reputation with the Tribu Zandalar, players could also turn in repeatable Coins and Bijous like Purple Hakkari Bijou. Besides the set tokens, reputation with the Zandalar tribe was useful for recipes and other items. Players could upgrade their set neck when reaching a new reputation level. Many recipes such as Esquema: lente vid de sangre and Receta: elixir de sangre de trol poderoso required reputation. Being Friendly with the Tribe was required to acquire class-specific helm and leg enchants, which required a class-specific voodoo doll and Ídolo Hakkari primigenio to purchase. Revered with the Tribe allowed you to purchase elixirs (Espíritu de Zanza, Presteza de Zanza, Brillo de Zanza) and Shoulder enchants (Sello de Zandalar de poderío, Sello de Zandalar de serenidad, Sello de Zandalar de mojo)
Zul’Gurub was also known for two rare mounts! Tigre Zulian presto from High Priest Thekal and Raptor Razzashi presto from Bloodlord Mandokir.
The revamped Zul'Gurub was introduced in Patch 4.1. This retained the flavor of the original instance but streamlined a lot of the systems. There are still several rare mounts - Raptor Razzashi acorazado and Pantera Zulian presta - as well as the music roll Rollo de música: Zul'Gurub Voodoo. Patch 4.1 also added a quest series explaining our return to Zul’Gurub.

Prophet Zul

Lorewalker Cho: It is said the God King Rastakhan, ruler of the Zandalari, lords over his mighty kingdom from a throne carved of solid gold. Years ago, as he sat on this opulent seat of power, he was visited by his most trusted prophet: Zul.
Zul warned King Rastakhan of a terrible Cataclysm. For Zul had seen a vision of a great armored dragon clenching the world in his ferocious jaws. King Rastakhan did nothing.
Months later Zul returned, bearing more grim news from his visions. He saw a legion of serpents pouring forth from a gaping fissure that tore open the floor of the ocean. Still, King Rastakhan did nothing. Finally, mere months before the Cataclysm, Zul returned. Tearing his clothes and throwing down his staff to the ground, Zul spoke of earthquakes and tidal waves. He described the golden capital of Zandalar slowly sinking beneath the waves in the aftermath of the Cataclysm, its once-great people drowning as their mighty works slipped forever beneath the sea.
King Rastakhan grew tired of Zul and his troubling nightmares. To be rid of the prophet, he granted Zul the use of his largest ships, so that he and his followers could seek a new land if his visions came to pass. And his visions DID come to pass.

When Deathwing rose from the Maelstrom, dark, angry waves crashed into the Zandalari capital. The spine of the land broke in two, and soon, the city and all its riches began to slide into the hungry sea. The Zandalari people turned to their King for help, but there was only one Zandalari equipped to help them: the prophet Zul. The prophet, and the mighty warfleet he had assembled while his King sat idle.
You see, the TRUE power of kings and emperors stems from the power to aid their people. The moment they fail, they cede their power to one who can.

Zul: Our kind faces extinction. Trolls once ruled the mightiest empire this world has ever seen. Yet look at you now. Zul'drak has already fallen to the Scourge. Its gods consumed as death descended on its people. Zul'Farrak! Once the shining jewel of Tanaris is now nothing but a wasteland. Divided you are weak, but we Zandalari can offer you a future undreamed of. Jin'do of the Gurubashi, would you see the greatness of Zul'Gurub restored? Join us and the Zandalari will make it so. Daakara of the Amani, summon your followers to Zul'Aman. Together, we will make Zul'jin's murderers weep for mercy. Brothers, hear us now! We Zandalari have returned to reclaim the former glory of our people. To see trolls retake the lands that are rightfully ours! And to crush any foolish enough to stand in our way. From the wreckage of the Cataclysm, the troll empire will rise again!
Trolls cheer, Vol'jin walks away.
Zul: Vol'jin of the Darkspear, you would turn your back on your own people?
Vol'jin: Da Horde is my people. If it be war you bring, then I stand against you.
Vol'jin leaves.
Zul: So be it, Darkspear! But against the powers we will soon unleash, none shall stand for long.
An image of Hakkar appears and roars.

The Drakkari capital is located in Gundrak, a playable dungeon added in Wrath of the Lich King. The Drakkari played a large part during the Wrath of the Lich King, as the minions of the Lich King began to attack their lands after their stronghold of Fortaleza de Drak'Tharon fell, and the only way that they were able to fight back was to spill the blood of their Loa Gods which was extremely potent. Perhaps these acts are also what drove their prophets to madness. You can learn more about the Drakkari through questing in Colinas Pardas and Zul'Drak.
The Zandalari play a large role in the Isle of Thunder, uniting the Mogu and resurrecting the Thunder King Lei Shen. This zone kicked off a server-wide war effort with new factions, dailies, and unlockable parts of the zone every few days.
Some interesting rewards on the Isle of Thunder include for completing Rompetormentas, Riendas del cuernoatroz primigenio dorado, Riendas del cuernoatroz primigenio carmesí, Confalón glorioso del Embate de los Atracasol, and Confalón glorioso de la Ofensiva del Kirin Tor. There is also a way to acquire Blacksmithing patterns for famous TBC legacy weapons.
As the Zandalari have a large presence on the Isle of Thunder, the troll mobs can drop special transmog gear resembling ZA and ZG items.
Three achievements on the Isle of Thunder cover finding monuments and learning more about the Mogu and Zandalari: Dioses y monstruos, Legado del Trueno, La profecía Zandalari. You can check out the Isle of Thunder Guide to read the monuments and find their locations.
In Battle for Azeroth, we learn through Zuldazar Questing how Zul's past actions fit into his current plan for power. Spoilers in the link.
