We know that races such as the Djaradin and the Dragons evolved into Life-based creatures from Elementals. This is similar to the ancestry of the Orcs on Dreanor as well.
We also know that the Old Gods were capable of creating forms of life, through both the Aqir and the Curse of Flesh.
That being said, I think this could explain Azeroth’s innate connection to the Dream and why it has such a high population of Wild Gods, Loa, and possibly even Trolls.
Thros was called the Nightmare so it is infact the same place as the Emerald Dream specifically the border to Death to contrast the border to Life that the Green Dragon discovered.
What we go to ingame is the border to the Great Dark Beyond.
I think the point in 2. may be the case of the tree being where the Well was. Mainly because that is where the dark trolls/elves believed Elune slept beneath the well and if the roots were still there then that would make sense. If that is the case then it calls into question a big part of Chronicles that Aman’thul ripping out Y’shaarj was a lie to cover up him killing an old god and the status of Y’shaarj.
Is this going to change Night Elves lore? Everything that was said in that book looks stangely similar to the origins of the Well of Eternity. Am I to believe now that the waters from the WoE were made out of Eonar Tears? So is she the one who inderectly made Trolls evolve into Night Elves? I don’t want to have a different origin story other than Elune reshaping Night Elves into her image. That’s what in a way connected Night Elves to Cenarius, Keepers of the Grove and Dryads because they all look the same which would be attributed as all being children of Elune.
This seems to be expanding Elune to not just the origin of Night elves but an indirect creator of life in Azeroth as a whole, maybe even of the dragons?
Of all the Titans, Eonar is the only one who has a tie to a force of change. I have to wonder if the Dream’s Ordered state was only permitted to begin with because Elune believed in Eonar and her cause.
It also explains where Elune got her knowledge of the Titans and Arcane power—The same way Eonar got her knowledge and love of life. It ultimately would mean Balance druids are an expression of that bond between Eonar and Elune, balancing the powers of Order and Life within themselves.
It also actually means the Sisterhood of Elune was right after all—Only a woman can understand the heart of the Goddess, indeed.
Honestly? I think this is ridiculous. If Titans created realm of Life and Realm of Death then how come they’re not understanding cycle of Life and Death?
I see what they’re about to do, but it looks like another forced contriviance.
I’ll take it as another unreliable narrator, besides dragons proved time and time again that they’re not that smart as they think they are.
Because the titans didn’t create either one. The titans represent the cosmic force of Order. It was the First Ones who had in the creation of what we see today
I know that they represent order, but the entire point of Well of Eternity, and Emerald dream that was created by Freya was to bring life to Azeroth. And now we have a dragon who was asking dryads of opinions to come up with Theory that Titans who represent order doesn’t understand life and death order. If there would be someone who doesn’t understand it, it would be night elves that were clinging so tightly to gift of immortality.
I honestly don’t like the idea either, hope great love means something else.
One of the images of OP is of a dragon questioning exactly that, Freya didn’t create the Emerald dream, she probably just learned about it and messed with it.
No, first off the book only says that new life emerged, which does not have to mean the first or only existing at that point in time.
Also keep in mind that the book is presented as a legend, and might not be the full truth.
However, it is interesting when taking in the context of old lore with there being life on Azeroth that’s not old gods and their minions before the fall of the black empire.
And with some more recent things like how as late as 2017 blizzard said that trolls predate the arrival of the titans, and the timerifts in df show alternative world lines that have life even on worlds not touched by the titans.
And this would make it the third time since shadowlands that it’s pointed out to us that the titans consider ordering the same as creating. pair that with chronicles being a titan perspective, it really shines a whole new light about the whole the titans created life on Azeroth after the imprisonment of the old gods.
Eonar being in love with Elune and Aman’thul being a patriarchal white male, how 2023
Them being lovers is dumb, but Blizzard ruining Elune even more is to be expected.
As others have pointed out though, this doesn’t 100% mean they are a romantic pairing. It could be the love one feels for a daughter or mother, for example. Additionally, it’s just a fairy tale book, and therefore doesn’t automatically mean anything/everything in it is canon.
So, that tree that Aman’thul ripped out was Illgynoth. There was once a World Tree rumored to exist in Ungoro Crater, in the cradle of Life created by the Titans. The Emerald Nightmare shows Illgynoth as a world tree in Ungoro Crater. This plot is getting more and more interesting. The Titans closed the waygate between Ungoro and Sholazar because The Nightmare attacked Loken’s seat of power in Storm Peaks.
(Lol and people are too distracted by Lesbian Eonar to see the plot threads being connected by these books.)
“The vassel of Life disguses treachery.” She (Eonar) hid something (prsumably about the Old Gods) in the Emerald Dream fom Aman’thul.
“Life is chaos.” It is not a coincidence the Everbloom on Draenor is “like an Old God.”
