Elune; Goddess or Mage Facade

I ask you now, who is Elune?

Is she a Goddess or a Divine entity as we are led to believe?

Or merely a powerful entity with a contractual price, bound to the Kaldorei race with a cost to exhume her “gifts”?

I say this now because while she claims we are her “favored children” according to those who saw her speak through the Night Warrior

I see in history that she has yet to do anything to aid if not provide for her beloved ones.

We are told of her divine nature to all, yet where was she when the Nightborne suffered and relied on nature and magic to heal?

She played no part in their salvation through the Arcan’dor. For the Dream and all-there within was forged by Eonar, not by Elune.

Even the touch of nature required to bring balance to the tree was in no way a result of Elune, yet any other time such power is used, it is by her blessing. So we have seen.

Where was she when her people were exiled for their use of magic and evolved into the Quel’dorei of Silvermoon? Although she was even less likely worshipped.

Is her love only limited to her people so long they do not change? Does she cast them aside when they change?

Where was she when the world was sundered during the first cataclysm? Where was she when Mount Hyjal almost fell to the Legion during the Third war.

Note the Horn of Cenarius is an extension of his power, made real not through mystery and faith.

Even Aessina’s power was made real. Please note that as a wilderness spirit and “Mother Wisp” there is no proven connection between her power and Elune. Her children were what was called by the Horn to save the World Tree.

Could it be that Elune’s power is no different than a mages? Her influence only effective at the cost of life itself?

Those who were at the temple of Elune saw her raise the spirit of Y’sera up from death.

Yet was it not likely because of her death or because the supposed “Tear of Elune” was used to make it possible behind an illusion of an Eclipse?

The Tear forged by Eonar not by Elune.

I question the truth of the supposed “Goddess” and her “Miracles”.

Oh don’t get the Pook started on gods and goddesses and all these cosmically powerful entities, like that guy who once stabbed our planet with a really big sword.

You got us mortal type beings, living on this rock trying to get through life. Some of us are nice and try to make our way through this world without hurting other and some of us are jerks who only think about our own selfish interests. What’s the difference between us and these so called gods? Just a matter of scale of power. All these cosmically powerful entities always seem to be scheming and trying to get more and more power but what do they ever do with it? Do they make our lives better? Nope power is the means and the ends for them.

They all seem to want to rule the universe for no other reason than to rule the universe.

They can call themselves gods but as far as the Pook is concerned, they’re just a bunch of cosmically powered bullies who don’t seem to care how many of us get squished in their cosmic drama. We got plenty of ordinary mortal jerks who live with that attitude. As far as the Pook is concerned, we’d all be better off without the jerks who call themselves gods. Maybe these gods can just make their own universe and then flick off there and have their petty power squabbles and leave us mortals alone.

And why do so many of them want to be worshipped, just because they’re powerful. The Pook could use a magnifying glass to wield the power of life and death over an ant colony but at the end of the day why would I care if the ants thought of me as a goddess?

The universe would be a better place without them.

You know i was half expecting to have the Wardens come after me for speaking heresy against their ‘goddess’ or the Sisters of Elune to come ‘cleanse me of the darkness within’ or other ways of purifying.

Its really come down to just mortal entities with vast amounts of power. Aluneth mentioned how there was a time when our people had the power to nearly rival the titans.
If that were true, then its just about consolidating power for glorified reasons.

Noticed how we saved the titans on Argus and all we got was a pat on the back? Even less.
Might as well did the same thing Sargeras did, and use them as batteries instead of saving them.

Recently we saw how in the marvel universe, Agatha Harkness takes the power of two celestials.

What’s is to stop a mortal from not doing the same thing with a titan, even such as Azeroth herself. We do still have the ‘Heart of Azeroth’ after all.

Queen Azshara’s plan was to use the Black Blade to steal N’zoths power. If it is truly this easy…
