The Story of/ What is Elune [Lore] 

Let's not forget that Elune is so powerful, she can create ten stars in the blink of an eye. She literally created solar systems to honor a dragon.

As someone on a forum pointed out, considering how stars work, Elune turning Ysera into a constellation is a probably her greatest show of power we've seen so far.

I bet not even Blizzard knows what Elune is.

Can moons have intercourse with stags? Nobble is asking the REAL questions of Azeroth right here!

The Ysera feels :'-(

Seemed to me like Elune is a Titan inside the moon or something, but she made a star constellation out of yseras spirit, So she must be something more. Something a lot bigger. Maybe the moon is a tool of sort, for her to observe azeroth.

You see Nobbel,when a Moom and moose love eachother very much they do the M&M's you see?

Fuck that cinematic at 12:58 is sooo good, I cry evertim ;_;

Tyrande kissed Broxigar FIVE TIMES..... Poor Illidan lol

My theory was that Elune is both light and shadow, think of the cycle of the moon, light and dark. She has something to do with naaru, how they have a light and a dark form. What ever elune is it's some entity that sits between light and dark.

What if elune was amazed by azeroths world souls power and watches since then over Azeroth as the moon

What if Elune is a titan soul inside a Moon is that possible ?

I believe Elune is like the counterpart of the Void Lords, that she's responsible for not only the Naaru but perhaps aswell the Titans? Like she's the pure light out in the universe and with the creation of Azeroth, she perhaps put some of herself into the Titan Soul, rendering it the strongest one out there, which would fit with the Well of Eternity being 'the Blood of Azeroth' itself and having these magical, properties about Elune and communing to her. Aswell is it shown that Elune is much more compassionate and not as fierce as the Naaru are, which might tell that she's above those too. Either thing'd be very interesting to see in the coming addons.

In the end we must travle down into the well and fight the final secret old god hiding below it. After its done the game shuts down and removes itself from your computer. All warcraftdiscs will stop working. When you try to install it you get the message "There is no more. Azeroth (Elune) has awoken"

Elune is a void lord turned to the light.

Elune is nothing we have ever heard of or encountered a true deity perhaps the only one. She cant be a Titan soul, Old God, Narru, or Void Lord for none has the power to create stars millions of miles away just to make a constellation to honor Ysera.

I swear to god, Ysera' s death and rebirth makes me tear up time I see it. Blessed be Elune's sacred moonlight!

Maybe the moon has like a very small titan soul. Only powerful enough to do moderate god stuff.

Elune is a dreadlord

nobbel it was amazing to meet you at preachcon! really cool of you to give out autographs and just talk lore with the fans! im the dutch guy that lives in ibiza! cheers

I think Elune may be the consciousness of the Light. The light may be the embodiment, and Elune may be the consciousness. Titan spirit in Azoroth is so strong that Elune herself is guiding her. The turren worship the Earth Mother. The Earth Mother is the Elune mothering Azoroth. I really don't think Elune is a Naru, but the Naru the Light condensed. Valen is wrong about Elune because not even the Naru understand what Elune is. The Naru are just manifestations of the light, and such are cut off from the consciousness of the night. The Titans don't even understand Elune, or Sargeras would have turned to Elune rather then chaos to stop the voidlords. The Titans understood the light, but never communed with the consciousness. The Titans awoke from there slumber to find what they thought was an empty universe. They knew where they came from, but never asked where the light came from. The Naru know they came from Elune, but Naru also come from older Naru, so they assume Elune is a Naru. Nozdormu Witnessed both the Oldgods and Elune in the Well of Eternity. Nozdormu was not consumed by the madness at the time because Elune showed a vision of the Oldgod's grasp and was then able to escape before hearing the whispers. The dark trolls/nightelfs were able to commune with Elune because of the added power of the Well of Eternity, AND they overheard Elune teaching and guiding Azoroth. The night elfs, Void Lords, The Void itself (if it has consciousness) and maybe Oldgods are the only ones in the Warcraft Universe that know about Elune. The Oldgods may know just so they don't make any mistakes to give hope in the power of Elune. The Oldgods don't talk about Elune in hopes that others will forget. Sargeras does not know about Elune, but is the closest to knowing outside of the night elfs since he understands the Void. Just a quick note. The Titans were really stupid. Sargeras is fighting a losing war with Azoroth, but is counting on his power to win. This is why he recruited the Eradar and Nathrezim. They were the most cunning. Also the Void (if it has consciousness) and Elune can never really defeat each other. They are stuck in an eternal war fueled by the offensiveness of the other's creations. Each are racing for the ultimate weapon that can invade, and destroy the other's creations. The Oldgods are the Void's weapon that can reach to the light side. The Titans were just a proof on concept for the creation of Azoroth. Azoroth is Elune's weapon to destroy The Void's creations. IT IS REALLY UP TO THE HEROES OF ELUNE'S CREATION TO SET UP A LASTING WALL BETWEEN THE VOID AND ELUNE

I personally want her to be the titan inside Azeroth, explaining her connection to the Well and why a titan relic was named after her, but I think it's (unfortunately, in my opinion) more likely for her to be a "Light Lord".

Hey nobbel, this is actually a Lord Argument I have had with many people, and what I've eventually boiled it down to is, Elune is all 3, that the Night Elves believe is a single entity. The being that made Cenarius, with Malonre, as well as the other connections to nature, was likely Freya, the Titan Watcher. The being that gives the Night Elves their power over Light is likely a Narru, hidden away somewhere in the stars. And finally, there is the Titan, who lives in the well. She is the one who taught the Night Elves how to use Arcane, and all that junk. And though these are 3 separate entities, the Night Elves see all these actions as having been done by one being, Elune. At least, that's what makes the most sense to me.

Well let me tell you this. As far as I know about the relation between Elune and Goldriin my theory is that the wild god did not wanted to be tamed or befriended by anyone and Elune was disappointed with him for his savagery but during the war of the ancient's Goldriin did fight bravely to save as many lives as he could and that particular self act elevated him to the eyes of Elune realizing that she can at least sooth his rage so that he can not be all that bloodlust all the time. That's what I think it goes with that relationship. Almost the same thing happens with the worgen on their trial of balance to be both man and beast. At any rate great video Nobbel. Keep up the good work!!!!!!

I think Elune isnt a Naaru, since her powers seem to be far beyond them, and that she is actually the creator of the Naaru to spread her light across the universe. In fact, I see the Void Lords to be equal with the Naaru and there is probably an Elune level being that is the master of them. I like to think there was once a single being in an endless void of nothingness and in their lonliness, split itself, a being of light and shadow, into two so that it would have a companion, which is the real origination of the universe. The Naaru were created when the Void Master created minions to corrupt the universe, so instead of having a companion to share their time with, they became adversaries. Elune created the Naaru to combat the Void Lords who in turn created what we call the old gods, the Naaru created the Pantheon to spread the light of elune and bring life to the universe. Keeping things in order. The old gods being there to corrupt and destroy the light, bringing it into shadow. Beings of light can be corrupted and brought into shadow, while beings of shadow can be purified and brought into light. Unfortunately, Sargeras took his role too seriously, and slaughtered the Pantheon, and created the Burning Legion to kill all life and the source of all life, which is Elune, thinking she will eventually be corrupted. Which would plunge the universe into shadow. Elune knows there must be balance, where there is light, there will always be shadow, and shadow can not exist with out light to create it. Which would explain the child of light and shadow prophecy. There is one who tows the line between both sides, that will bring balance to the whole thing once again because of Sargeras' actions causing an imbalance. Of course this is my own thoughts on it, and who knows what Blizzard does.

It's possible that the communications the early trolls had were a case of mistaken identity, maybe they were talking to Azeroth but thought she was Elune. Chronicles mentions the realm of light and void and the constant struggle in that realm that caused the big bang and the Naruu were created then, so too were the titans. So I believe that Elune comes from the universe of light and void, so I think she is the counter part to the voidlords. In the old Warcraft RPGs they mentioned that Elune was the only true goddess in Warcraft.

Humm, interesting, so, in the War of the Ancients book, it says that Nozdormu's mind "plied a different realm" and when he tried to get close to the core, "the truth", tendrils of inky water stretched up (obvious reference to the old gods) and seized him. Could this mean that this "different realm" that Nozdormu visited was, perhaps, the realm of Nya'lotha ?

Doesn't matter how many times I see the scene. Scene with Ysera and Elune always tears me up.

So Cenarius looked like a night elf even before they "evolved" from the trolls?

The Ysera scene after being reminded that Elune conceived Cenarius: Those aren't tentacles, they're Gentacles!!!

So Nelfs are Trolls? Wow. Trolls are such an old race! "We was here before anyone!?"

"Not an Old God, not a Naaru, not a spirit inside of Azeroth; the FRICKIN' MOON itself....!" Nobbel, you made me immediately laugh after one of the saddest cinematics in WoW.

2020: Elune is a First One, the one who controls life and order at least, seeking to maintain the balance of the universe. The first Ones being a higher hierarchy than all we have saw until now(titans, void lords, sargeras and so on). She still a mystery even today with those bits of info from the shadowlands expansion.

Thx for doing what you do, you are the reason that I got in to the lore!

finally some ore on the best diety in wow!

Elune is a being of balance between Light and Shadow.

Totally thought you were going to talk about the history of /

Why must you make me relive that painful heart wrenching video

Next expo we go to the moon.

I still like to think Elune is the only actual god(ess) in the warcraft cosmology, like she was in the d20 RPG. An all powerful, but also very far removed from the struggles of mortals and immortals alike, force of creation and light.

Sometimes I wonder if Elune is the sun, and uses the moon as means to focus/reduce the power she uses on Azeroth. If titans are born of planets, whats to stop a much more powerful being being born or form into a star.

Finally, a video that goes back to detail the lore of WoW instead of talking about mount quests and weapon quests.

Or Elune is the God(dess) of the warcraft universe. No Light Lord, Void Lord turned into good or titan essence drunk Loa.

You have the most amazing "Hello everyone" I've heard, honestly :v

Elune is the titan I've been trying to kill for 10000 years now.

Hey @Nobbel87 . Really love your videos, so thank you so much for all the awesome content that you give us. I am also really happy that you finally made a video on Elune, since I've had some speculation for a long time. "My" theory is, could Elune possibly be a Loa? Since the Loa is connected with trolls, and Night Elves are descendants of the dark trolls. We have also seen Loa's manifest into the physical world before (Hakkar and the Gurubashi trolls), which could in turn explain how Elune could have gotten Cenarius with Malorne. I know it's a stretch, but this is something I've thought could be the case for a long time.

Is it a possibility that Elune is the one that creates world souls?

Finally video what i have waited for :) Thank u dear nobbel

I think Jaina is an Elune

Listen to the singing when Ysera dies! It's singing "Queen Azsharaaaa" - at like 13:00

A fucking robot. Fucking Steve Danuser. God damn.

I've always liked the idea of Elune being the light counterpart to the void lords, but like the void lords she can't physically manifest in this world so created the Naaru. Not sure how to explain Cenarius but quite possibly she could have found a way to enter the world that the void lords haven't.

Ah...Elune i voted for you...

I love learning the lore about the Warcraft franchise. Dragon aspects, Elune, and few others interest me the most.

Elune is a Light Lord (counterpart to the Void Lords) that created the Naaru. Her might turned Ysera into a star pattern in the sky or maybe even into a Naaru. I speculate that will get to see her in the far future when we will have to fight the Void. And that's typical for Warcraft: She's getting corrupted and we have to kill her with the help of A'dal.

This one was just fantastic. Well done, Nobbel.

Does Elune talk to us in the Ashenvale? I remember a mission to purify a Satiryr ... This quest: wow.gamepedia.com/Quest:He_Who_Would_Be_Forgiven

I LOVE that thumbnail of Elune, gorgeous!

heres something that has been bothering me and i have been wanting to discuss, maybe even have nobbel to share his opinion, in the image given to us by the wow chronicles book we see that the opposite of light is shadow or void and that lifes opposite is death but we also see that the opposite to fel is... arcane? i dont know about you guys but i havent seen no arcane mage cleansing corruption from the demons... unless... what if the light of elune is not light but arcane? what if the priesthood of elune's secret is not that they use holy light but something im calling right now "arcane light", arcane light used by the moonkin created by elune, it would explain the color difference of white/silver instead of yellow/gold of the holy light, it would explain why elune can cleanse the satyr form like in the enchanter's quest in azuna when i havent seen it happening with holy light and would fit the theory that elune is a titan as they do come from arcane!... just fuel for theorys, let me know what you guys think.

Another amazing video Mr. Nobbel... A simple thank you from me!

What if Elune is another titan spirit that is in the moon ?

The song in the Ysera cutscene always gives me goosebumps. It's just so great.

Does the eastern kingdoms continent have a real name? Because before wc3 they weren't really east of anything known, so how can they be the eastern kingdoms?

Ooh la la. I am very interested in mythical origion stories. The night elves are my favorite race. So a story of Night Elf origin is just the kind of thing for me. I am surprized they evolved from trolls. I like to have a whole video about the moon goddess of Elune. She has links to both nature and the light. Maybe this is why night elves can be both druids and priests. Elune gives night elves good stealth and shadowmeld ability. Mybe this is why nightelves can be rogues. Night elves can train warriors like other races. They are also good with archery and nature, so they become hunters. That accounts for all classes night elves can be in vanilla. They did add mage in cataclism. I found it wierd. I thought night elves hated the arcane, and even banished those practicing that. Blood elves on the other hand had access to the mage class since thier debut in burning crusade. It makes sense as blood elves are attached obsessivly to arcane magic. I like the idea of Elune being the titan inside Azeroth. Maybe this same titan is called the Earthmother by the tauren. It is deity inside the earth. So having some kind of mother earth aspect would make sense. It is cool that the moon goddess is linked to werewolves. Both have a strong affinity for the moon. I am very fond of worgen as well. Thier starting zone is my favorite questing area in the whole game. I am familiar with the story. The first worgan were renegade night elf druids, which developed the form of the wolf. Later the worgen bit the humans of Gilnaus. Then the humans become the kind of worgen that is playable. The worgen connect with the night elves, regain humanity and fight forsaken zombies. The story is so touching and so awesome. Now that I think of it, there are wargin in Gilnaus and Silverpine in northern part of Eastern Kingdoms. That is close to where the blood elves live. Maybe the night elf wargan went with the night elf mages in the exile. There are also Forsaken there too. THey are based on another human kingdom called Lorderon. Then the Scourge turned them into zombies. Sylvanas was a blood elf turned to a zombie. She revolted against the Scourge with zombies and formed the forsaken. I have just thought more about the worgen of Ginaus. They are wolf people. They live in the north. They put a wall on thier northern border to keep zombies out. They prefer to stay out of the politics of the mighty Stromwind Empire of the south. So in way, the worgen are a lot like the Starks, which is my favorite house in Game of Thrones. When I play a worgen in the starking zone, I like to think of jokes. The worgen silly emotes are hillarious. I like to add the joke "Let's build the wall and make the Forsaken pay for it". Now I can think of another joke for the first signs of Forsaken invasion. I can say "Winter is coming". Genn Greymane was good friends with Anduin Wyrnn. Maybe they are like Ned Stark and Robert Baratheon respectively. The story of Elune falling in love with a beautiful white stag to form dryads is odd. That does remind me of a Greek myth. It really does not make the Minoan people look good. The Minoans had a magnificent white bull. The king was supposed to sacrifice the bull to the deities. However he decided to keep him for himself. The deities gave a strange punishment. The king had a female relative. She fell in love with the white bull. She eventually bred with him. Then they had a horrible monster, called the Minotaur. After this origin story, the Minotaur was involved by the labrynth and Thesius. I wonder if there can be similar humanoid on cattle affairs and breeding. That could explain the origin of the Tauren. These kinds of shenanningans seem strange, but they happen all the time in folklore. The are called animal bridegroom stories or beauty and the beast stories. The minotaur origion story isn't even the only one in Greek mythology. There is also Europa and the Bull, and Leda and the Swan. What can I say? Zeus got around. The most touching in my opinion was Eros and Psyche. Apollo goes even further and messes with plants. The most famous is the Daphne affair which explains his fondness for laurel trees. I like to imagine animal bridegroom stories. My favorite scenario is hot woman on stallion action. I just have a wierd fondness for horses. Now that it think of it, it could explain the origin of centaurs. It could work for Greek mythology or WoW. Humans can't breed at all with other species in real life. The only possible exception I know of is neandrathals. Mixing is fantasy is odd. It could lead to some interesting designs for hybrid creatures.

Elune is probably something much more. Than light. To me it seems that Elune is the balance one of the few grey beings so to speak. Both light and shadow. Benevolent yet judgmental. Elune is probably the creator of the Naaru but also the void. Our one omnipotent being yet unable to act perhaps if she did the balance would break and so the universe.

I'm quite certain Elune is both light and shadow, the master creator of the universe. I think the Night Elves have it pretty wrong on what she truly is. The Moon is a perfect representation of her however, the moon casts light unto the world, and where there is light there is shadow. Plus, the Moon has a dark side as well, and she gave Night Elves "Shadowmeld" take a hint there. Elune seems highly likely to be the supreme creator of the universe, to have the ability to create a constellation merely to honor a dragon seems leaps and bounds above what we've seen from any other entities calling themselves deities. There's a great duality between light and dark, and you have to figure. When Ysera was blessed by Elune during that cinematic, there was an Eclipse. A literal amalgam of light and shadow, black as the darkest night and blinding as the brightest days.

Elune is a Dreadlord (kek)

What if Elune was this perfect being that was responsible for the clash between light and shadow? I've always wondered why we think that light = good and void = bad. One can not exist without the other and our ways (the light) aren't necessarily better than theirs (the shadow), the Void Lords and all their minions just see things differently. My guess would be that Elune is not only responsible for the creation of the Naaru but also the Void Lords. In that case she would be the perfect balance of light and shadow. In Ysera's cinematic we can see presumably Elune take her spirit. But here, she doesn't just appear as a glowing moon but rather as an Eclipse. And what forms an eclipse? The sun and the moon together - light and shadow. This could potentialy explain several void aspects related to elune, like why some priests have such a strong connection to the void. Maybe Elune's blessing "empowers the side you're on based on the way you see things. Maybe what Elune wants is peace between both "factions", but all the Naaru and the Void Lords want is defeating each other, not realizing it might destroy them too. All that's going on on Azeroth now is due to those two fighting each other, and all the races picking sides and waging war. Even Sargeras and his Burning Legion are a result of a Titan being afraid that the Void Lords might win this war and thus decided to wipe the universe. Which explains why Elune is helping us defeat the Legion, but might also suggest that she's helping the void defeat them too. I would really love it if she was this Hybrid entity, showing us the way of balance and peace. Because right now we have a "you're wrong, I'm right and there's nothing you can say to convince me" attitude and it's really bugging me tbh. Light and shadow are supposed to be equals, we need both order and chaos, what gives us the right to think our ways is superior?

notification squad!!!!

The whole thing with Ysera makes me cry every time. I also suspect Elune may be the titan within Azeroth.

Lore on gladiators longbow please

Finally! I've been looking forward to this! :D

Elune is nothing more than a night elf loa

ive been waiting for this for so long

Considering that Elune's power is greater at night would imply that she dont like sunlight. If thats the case, it would seem like the mother moon is some sort of dark beeing that embraced the light (like a reverse sargaras) but can't really hold the power directly like Naru.... can but she can reflect light just like the moon does. The only way Elune could "clense" Ysera druing her death is through a eqlipse for example. So, for me Elune seems like a sister of Azeroth, the shadow/caretaker while she lies dorment inside the earth. Elune will look after anyone that protects her (azeroth). And trough the well of eternity ages ago Elune could finally contact and trust some of the younger races. Elune might even have influenced the Darktrolls to become nightelves in order for them to grant an affinity for the night, when her pressence and power is the strongest. But yeah, all this is just a shoot in the dark.... Great videos as always Nobbel : ]

Dude! You should make a video comparing what the classes can do on the lore and what they do ingame. Seeing how divergent the game is or not from what the World of Warcraft really is would be really cool! Ex.: can characters on the lore cast heals as quickly and as effectively as we do ingame?

WOW WAIT! Nobbel did you turn to the Horde? If you did join the Horde then.. WELCOME, BROTHER!

@Nobbel87 I think Elune is more than a Titan or a Naaru, from what we know she's pretty much Sehanine Moonbow from the forgotten realms' setting of D&D. Quoting Chris Metzen himself : "My only real training before joining Blizzard was the long-running D&D campaign I had with my closest friends-Sam, Mike P., Daniel, and Mikey C. (you know who you are, boys…HAMRO!). Building ideas-vast worldscapes, characters, and plotlines with my friends was my first great love. I lived for it. It was a safe space amid the tension and change of some rough teenage years. The grand refuge of D&D was a glorious meeting of minds and imaginations where I felt I truly belonged." Sooo, Sehanine/Elune what makes me say they're the same ? They are both good elven deity. They are both goddess of the moon. They are both known to give visions and omens to their worshippers. Sehanine is mainly worshipped by the "Moon Elves". Elune is mainly worshipped by the "Night Elves". Sehanine's Tears is said to have given life to the elves when mixed with the blood of Corellon. Elune's Tears is one of the pillars of creation. Sehanine watches over the passage of elven spirits from the world and is the protectress of the deads. Elune might have protected Ysera's spirit with the magical show when she died (maybe a bit far fetched but we do know of plenty of elvens spirits who can still call upon her powers) Lastly, Sehanine's power is supposed to waxes and wanes in tune with the phases of the moon, a theme we can see too in the sister's of the moon bossfight in ToS. Now with that in mind giving us a clue of where the man who wrote the lore came from and those similarities, i think Elune is the light's equivalent of the void lord, some kind of godlike entity made of light living in another dimension strongly limiting her ability to interact with the world. Maybe the only one "alive" maybe not (we do know there's multiple void lords so why not multiple light lords ?)

I just had this idea come to me while watching your video. What if Elune is Azeroth's subconscious or dreamlike state?

One thing I noticed about the Ordering of the Cosmos diagram is on the Void it shows Voidlords and Old Gods. Where Voidlords are between the Void and the physical plane, there's nothing shown between the physical plane and the Light. It seems reasonable to assume Elune is the embodiment of Light as Voidlords embody darkness. She can grant power to others along with letting others draw power and potentially created the Naaru as speculated, like how Shadow Priests draw power from the Void and the Voidlords created the Old Gods. However, like Naaru and Void gods, Elune may have a dark side. Maybe her Light form is Elune but her Void side is a creature like Dimensius.

Elune (or Mu'sha, as she is called by the tauren) is the primary goddess of the night elf pantheon. She is associated with the larger of Azeroth's two moons, the White Lady, and is widely considered to be the mother of Cenarius, the forest lord and patron god of all druids. Elune is one of the few true deities of Azeroth.

Nobbels impresination of Tyrande makes my skin crawl :)

I think Elune is a "primordial" one. A manifestation of the consciousness of the energy into the first matters that took form. I suspect elune as being one of the first consciouss being that formed from the chaos of the "Universe".

so much lore I didnt know, I love your videos. I had no idea that Night Elfs were actually once Trolls. Now I want to know how the other races came to be on the world, we already know about the dwarfs and gnomes but what about everyone else?

Following Nobbels idea about Elune being the Titan spirit inside Azeroth I got a idea, yes Elune is the Titan spirit and she has at least partially awoken but cannot use her powers to her full extent......yet. She uses the moon as a sort of focus or gate to allow her to use her powers to aid the mortals in fighting all powers that would corrupt or harm them whilst also helping her priestesses whom with this theory are basically a TITAN'S workers. Think of it like a wand or staff that most wizards/mages use to channel and focus. This would explain at least to a degree why all her powers are in some way linked to the moon.

Elune was not pregnant like a human with Cenarius. We are talking about an omnipotent God who could bring things into being because she wanted to. It was her love for Malorne that caused Cenarius's birth to occur. Maybe she had an earthly stag carry the child, think of Mary carrying Jesus. Elvin Mysticism :) As a NE Druid, I absolutely LOVE the story of Elune and the entire connection to the moon. And yea, Ysera.......real feels there....but the cinematic is gorgeous!!!! Well done on the video! LOVED IT!!!!

i like the idea of Elune being the titan inside azeroth too but i think its more likely that elune is just a vague notion of light that is going to be pivotal in fighting the void lords (if we go that far)

I think Elune is the closest think we'll get to "God" in this game. I know there have been multiple beings that have been seen as gods, but I mean there are a few tiers between shadow and the old gods on that map. When it comes to light, It just goes to from light to Naruu. Now we learn that she has made Naruu in the past? If she isn't a light lord, then she is at least the light's champion. Don't know how the other races of Azeroth will take this, knowing their gods/idols are nothing but her soldiers or henchmen. Religion might be the next big reason for infighting between factions and maybe inside the factions themselves.

Elune is most likely Eonar the life binding titan. She gave freya the keeper her nature powers, created the emerald dream and was the titan that cared for the well of eternity before sargeras destroyed her physical form. Her soul has been hiding on the planet Elunaria. Now that’s a hint if I ever seen one from the writers.

I was about to go to bed... suddenly a wild nobbel video appears!

I'ma guess that they are the light version of void lords and they made everything in that circle. the talking through the well either means the spirit inside is a minion of her, elune talks to it, or elune used the well as a portal to talk through. I can see them doing a thing where elune was healing the spirit of azeroth. Maybe couldn't do it fully but enough and the old gods being a virus trying to get it sick again.

I got thinking about Elune as well the other day, great video answering my curious mind Nobbel. If you or anyone else would be interested, I posted a video from the Ashenvale questline that involves cleansing Avrus with a Moon Stone where a voice from the well talks to players, and I have no other person to assume but it being Elunes voice. Is it really players only real encounter with Elune? I believe so.

Perhaps Elune is a Titan of sorts sent to watch over Azeroth from the sky.

Elune is the light counterpart (either the only one or one of) to the void lords, likely unable to be able to manifest into the physical world like the void lords, she created the naaru (x'era explicitly states this) which are the closest counterparts to the old golds. This is the retconned lore and since its from legion it would supersede any evidence to elune being a titan or wild god or anything else the game implies throughout previous expansions.

what if elune is the mother of the light and shadow, she has the powers to make creatures slip into shadows, maybe she has a dark side too but keeps it balanced, and helps us face the old goods and the legion , maybe thats why sargeras can't come and destroy us with one swing of the sword

Nobbel’s one of a kind intonation is a given at this point :D

It seems like what Elune is, has not been really consistent or definitive throughout Warcraft. Maybe the nightelves mistook the slumbering titan as Elune and their faith and reverence gave them a connection to the light.

dangit... Almost a year later and the Ysera cinematic still brings a tear to my eye.

Elune is a Loa, she's the ancester of Thyranda that's why they have such connection :D oh and Elune was a troll obviously ! Greetings from a troll druid ;)

I got chills watching the Ysera cutscene again.
