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 弗蕾亚的契约 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 阿迦玛甘, the player learns that the distinctive roots all around 剃刀沼泽 and 剃刀高地 were created by Agamaggan’s blood when he sacrificed himself. In 阿迦玛甘的授意, 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 艾维娜之羽, 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 献给艾维娜的祭品). 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 木喉要塞. In Wrath of the Lich King, it is revealed that the fallen world tree Vordrassil is corrupting the furbolgs in 灰熊丘陵, who have resurrected and corrupted Ursoc using the magic of the tree (乌索克，巨熊之神). 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 托尔托拉有话说.
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 海加尔山, players can purify the Shrine of Goldrinn (腐蚀者莱坎索斯) and speak to 塔科里克·怒哮 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 祖尔格拉布 housed the mortal champions of several Gurubashi loa. 高阶祭司耶克里克 for the Bat Hir'eek, 高阶祭司温诺希斯 for the Snake Hethiss, 高阶祭司玛尔里 for the Spider Shadra, 高阶祭司塞卡尔 for the Tiger Shirvllah, and 高阶祭司娅尔罗 for the Panther Bethekk. Unfortunately, these trolls became corrupted while they tried to contain 哈卡, the Blood God.
The Amani Loa are encountered in 祖阿曼: 埃基尔松 (Eagle), 纳洛拉克 (Bear), 加亚莱 (Dragonhawk), 哈尔拉兹 (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 巨蛙卡格瓦 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. 女祭司乌尔佳 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; 诺甘农圆盘 were stolen and taken to 奥达曼, guarded by 阿扎达斯. 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 祖阿曼.

Mogu

The Mogu played a large role in Mists of Pandaria. Their culture is reflected in archaeology solves like 陶俑手臂 and 石化的骨鞭. The dungeon 魔古山宫殿 and raid 魔古山宝库 added at Mists of Pandaria's launch provide a closer look at this culture.
雷神 and 莱登 are encounters in 雷电王座. 莱登 opened as a special heroic-only, limited-attempt boss.
雷电轰鸣 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: 雷电之王的法典 and 雷电之王勋章.
Lei Shen died of old age, but was resurrected in Mists of Pandaria. 雷神岛 and 雷电王座 were added in Patch 5.2.
Many archaeology solves reference the slavery of the Mogu: 破损的石碑底座, 军阀的烙铁, 陶俑手臂, 叛军的镣铐, 熊猫人茶具
The objects needed for 魔古的黑心 give more details on the Mogu’s slavery practices.
莱登之拳 is Highkeeper Ra's weapon, gifted to him by Aman'Thul in the War against the Black Empire.

Defeat by Tolvir

奥丹姆 was initially a verdant zone, but players find it primarily a desert. Several areas can be restored to a jungle after completing 哈里森·琼斯与奥丹姆神殿. 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.
起源大厅 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 伊希斯特, 阿穆纳伊, 塞特斯, and 拉夏.
The 拉穆卡恒 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 棕色骑乘骆驼缰绳 or 褐色骑乘骆驼缰绳, as well as obtain 拉穆卡恒.

Pandaren Revolution

The 熊猫人 were added as a playable race in the Mists of Pandaria expansion.They can be 猎人, 法师, 武僧, 牧师, 潜行者, 萨满祭司, 战士. Their faction mounts include 紫色龙龟缰绳 and 巨型紫色龙龟缰绳.
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 迷踪岛--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: 昆莱山, 螳螂高原, 翡翠林, 卡桑琅丛林, 四风谷, 锦绣谷, 永恒岛. 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 为何而战. You can learn more about the lore of Pandaria by finding scrolls for the 游学者 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 星光云端翔龙缰绳 and 雷霆红玉云端翔龙缰绳.
Players can gain reputation with 云端翔龙骑士团 to learn how to ride cloud serpents like 金色云端翔龙缰绳. 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 永恒之井, players go back in time to experience the events of the War of the Ancients. In this dungeon, players face 艾萨拉女王 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 血精灵 is a playable Horde race added in Burning Crusade, which starts questing in Quel'Thalas - 永歌森林 and 幽魂之地. The capital city of the Blood Elves is 银月城 and you can see many screenshots on the database page. You can also learn more about the later history of the elves in 奎尔萨拉斯的建立, 太阳之井 - 奎尔萨拉斯的陷落, 血精灵的崛起.
Jintha is the namesake of Jintha'Alor, a Vilebranch Troll city in 辛特兰. In this level 30-60 questing zone, you will explore the conflict between the Wildhammer Dwarves and the Trolls. In 黑暗容器 we learn that the Vilebranch used to drink the blood of Hakkar, but now drink the blood of the spider loa.
祖阿曼 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 (纳洛拉克, 埃基尔松, 加亚莱, 哈尔拉兹) and rescuing their hostage added one piece of bonus loot and extra time onto the timer. Completing the run in time awarded 阿曼尼战熊 in TBC (now removed) and 阿曼尼斗熊 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 阿曼尼妖术之杖. Use these on Forest Frogs to summon a variety of NPCs that sell potions, reagents, and 密封的卷轴盒 which can contain old Darkmoon Cards and enchants. They can also place down which grants buffs to use in the instance. However the most interesting use by far of the the 阿曼尼妖术之杖 is getting the battle pet 魔汁.

Kezan

地精 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 地精三轮摩托涡轮增压型. Their special racial abilities are 时间就是金钱, 哪里都有好买卖, 化学让生活更美好, 呼叫大胖, 火箭弹幕, 火箭跳.
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.
科赞 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 失落群岛 as the Goblins rebuild and ultimately decide to join the Horde.
You can purchase 卡亚可乐, 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 科赞 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

沉没的神庙 is a dungeon located in the Swamp of Sorrows. The bosses are 伊兰尼库斯的阴影, 德姆塞卡尔, 预言者迦玛兰, and 哈卡的化身 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: 尖啸者的灵魂, 尖啸者的灵魂, 远古之卵, 神灵哈卡, 失落的摩沙鲁石板, 最后的石板, 面对叶基亚, 拉斯塔哈之手, 哈卡之心
Some of the interesting transmog loot from Sunken Temple includes 龙之召唤, 风蛇的拥抱, 风鳞布裙, and 阿塔莱预言者法衣. There are also several Green Dragonscale recipes - 图样：绿龙鳞片护腿 and 图样：绿龙鳞片胸甲 - as Sunken temple is a good source of 绿龙鳞片 for skinners.
Zul'Gurub was originally a 20-player raid until Cataclysm. The original bosses were 高阶祭司耶克里克 for the Bat Hir'eek, 高阶祭司温诺希斯 for the Snake Hethiss, 高阶祭司玛尔里 for the Spider Shadra, 高阶祭司塞卡尔 for the Tiger Shirvllah, and 高阶祭司娅尔罗 for the Panther Bethekk, and 哈卡. There are also some optional encounters: 血领主曼多基尔, 妖术师金度, 加兹兰卡, and Edge of Madness.
The final boss, Hakkar the Soulflayer, had a special 堕落之血 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.
血领主曼多基尔 and 妖术师金度 had a fun interaction - 血领主曼多基尔 would yell "Ding!" after killing players and leveling up, while 妖术师金度 would yell "Grats!"
加兹兰卡 was also notable as a boss that needed to be spawned by fishing. This boss dropped some fishing-themed loot like 纳特·帕格的鱼类终结者 as well as the coveted 秘典：变形术：龟.
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 古拉巴什疯狂魔精 created by Alchemists, and then collect all four animal pelts from the different bosses.
To earn reputation with the 赞达拉部族, 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 结构图：血藤透镜 and 配方：特效巨魔之血药剂 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 原始哈卡莱神像 to purchase. Revered with the Tribe allowed you to purchase elixirs (赞扎之魂, 赞扎之速, 赞扎之光) and Shoulder enchants (赞达拉力量徽记, 赞达拉宁静徽记, 赞达拉魔精徽记)
Zul’Gurub was also known for two rare mounts! 迅捷祖利安猛虎 from High Priest Thekal and 拉扎什迅猛龙 from Bloodlord Mandokir.
The revamped 祖尔格拉布 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 - 装甲拉扎什迅猛龙 and 迅捷祖利安黑豹 - as well as the music roll 乐谱：祖尔格拉布的巫术. 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 古达克, 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 达克萨隆要塞 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 灰熊丘陵 and 祖达克.
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 风暴克星, 黄金原始恐角龙, 深红原始恐角龙, 夺日者先锋军的辉煌战旗, and 肯瑞托远征军的辉煌战旗. 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: 神祇与妖魔, 雷电轰鸣, 赞达拉预言书. 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.
