so....who worshops shiva?

[Dano]

she's just there like siren.

[Nero]

Gigas probably do.

[Volsung]

there are two choices that i could see

The first being the gigas/cyclops.

The second being an unreleased beastmen thats currently in the stuff that i can't talk about on
official forums, niqote mentioned what they look like.

[HeroSamson]

I bet the Elezen people worship shiva.

Makes sense.

mamool ja? the ishgard dragons?

Now that you mention that I'm starting to wonder what do the Mamool Ja, Qiqirn, and Goblins worship.

[Gilraen]

Shiva being connected to the 'elves' was XI's lore for her, she being a queen of an elvaan city in the north (details fail me). This Shiva, being a primal, is far less likely to be connected to the main races, as primals are very self-righteous to the point of blind arrogance. Each and every primal so far has acted like this. The gigas make the most sense barring that race hinted at by the bird'ja model.

Back in 1.23 (shortly before the cataclysm), one of the Reporter GMs leaked this info.

(paraphrasing)

"Shiva's followers are Huge Beastmen from the icy north, with cold dispositions. Rumored to have been seeking a treaty or alliance with the Garleans"

My money is on Cyclops or Gigas.

[Kyros]

Are Dragons intelligent? I mean the whole fight up there is against Dragons in an Icy area. Then again there is a lot of Voidsent up there as well.

I am not sure about Gigas. I mean right now sure, but in FFXI at least they where more closely associated with Thunder. There where a few distinctive Icey ones, but the ones in Mhor look more thunderish than icey as well.

the giants of Mor Dohma worship Shiva

In actual fact, the Gigas of Mor Dhona worship the Crystal Tower.
Whether or not this is due to an entity residing inside or not remains to be seen- but it is stated in the quests leading to Labyrinth of the Ancients.
Thus them also being found only near the tower.

Not that it won't be the Gigas that do worship Shiva, just that particular tribe already have their "deity", so to say.
If anything, I'm hoping to see a new zone in Coerthas open up- which will lead the way to the beast tribe worshipping her.
