Seeking to bring hope and healing, our patron titan, Eonar, carried a gift given to her by Elune–a branch of G’Hanir, the mother world tree.
The titan believed that the influence of Life would drive the darkness away.
So she reached down her hand and shaped the soil of Azeroth, planting the branch where it could be fed by river and sky.
The branch swiftly grew into a tree, its roots extending deep, deep below the surface. Eonar smiled, for everywhere the roots stretched, new life emerged.
She called the tree Elun’Ahir, in honor of her great love.
Eonar also hid her soul in a planet called Elunaria.
Elune’s sister has 4 Soulbinds! Lady Moonberry, Droman Aliothe, Zayhad and the Lord Herne.
Soulbinds are usually a Soul’s Spouse from what I’ve seen so the Winter Queen has 4 Consorts so Elune having Eonar and Malorne as a consort is not hard to imagine.
Of course that’s assuming Elune and Mu’sha are the same person as that might not be the case considering Xal’atath has a Moon Symbol on her face and calls Elune a great enemy and an upstart “goddess” suggesting that Xal’atath is Mu’sha in which case her husband Malorne pawned an Acorn of Elune that Xal’atath whispered to to Ysera who promptly started her own whisperings including whisperings of the Centaur nearby which combined with whispers of Malorne turned the Acorn into Cenarius.
Cenarius in that case is the child of Eonar’s wife Elune, Elune’s rival Xal’atath, Xal’atath’s husband Malorne and Malorne’s secret lover Ysera.
It’s an in-universe legend. There are many books like this in WOW, not all of which are historically accurate. The Warcraft universe has its own in-universe legends, some of which are rooted in fact, some of which aren’t. The term for it is “flavor lore”.
“Flavor lore is lore that is written ‘in-universe’ and doesn’t necessarily agree with what actually happened, but exists in the Warcraft universe to add realism and make the worlds seem more alive. Flavor lore often includes beliefs, legends, and myths kept by various cultures in the worlds, and historical accounts written by in-universe authors.”
I’m not saying it’s not true…just that we have no way to know if it’s true or not without more info from either Elune or Eonar.
To be fair, I think it’s significantly less weird for Elune to date a fellow goddess than for her to date a really big stag lol
It’s still a bit weird though as one is a Titan and the other is a… I don’t know what the Life Gods are called. But I don’t think they live in the same reality as the Titans lol
Mu’sha had a brother first and if we take Xal’atath as Mu’sha due to her moon symbol on her face along with her references to Elune being a great enemy & upstart “goddess” then An’she is Xal’atath’s brother not Elune’s.
Well, we haven’t seen Elune. Maybe she’s a really big doe
Ok, but seriously, it makes me wonder if the writers forgot Malorne or if there’s more going on. Are they sharing her? Did they break up? Are they poly? If they are it’d be kinda sad if Eonar only refers to Elune as her great love but not Malorne, lmao.
In fairness it’s not like any of them are exactly biological beings. They ain’t out here bumping cosmological uglies lol
Elune and Malorne was probably more of a “like minds came together and created an idea that turned into a stag centaur demigod thing” a la Athena popping out of Zeus’s scalp like an angry warrior pimple.
So for Elune and Eonar it may be more of a “strong appreciation for each other” rather than any real relationship. Eonar is the “life” Titan after all, so she’s undoubtedly closest to that other domain.
It’s likely a mother daughter relationship with Eonar being the mother. I’d recommend delving into the Tauren lore, but essentially ‘the Earth Mother’ gives birth to the sun and the moon. While all of this thread is speculative, it’s very likely Eonar is the Earth Mother.
This post feels like teenagers watching a show where two of the characters on-screen are remotely kind to one another and the teenagers immediately think, “THEY’D MAKE A GREAT COUPLE!”
It’s also one of the reasons LGBTQ+ themes feel so… forced… when they’re introduced in literature.
Yep, the way the book was written implies that in the legend, the love wasn’t reciprocated, or at least wasn’t acted on. But it’s a legend, so who knows.
We still don’t have the full story behind Cenarius either.
Cenarius is the child of Ysera and Malorne, according to trilogy ‘War of the Ancients’, and even in the Emerald Dream, Cenarius calls Merithra ‘sister’.
Ysera is quite . . … put out when Malorne falls in battle in the novel.
