I will never understand why people expect Game of Thrones writing on a game that is more akin to a Saturday Morning cartoon.

I read one of his books.
And by read I mean âpicked it up off the shelf from a local bookstore and read the first 3 pagesâ
It was gross.
Doesnât have to be game of thrones writing.
Just be logically consistent and give characters flaws and limitations, and stick to those flaws and limitations.

As a Life Goddess, itâs not in Eluneâs station to deny her sister, the Winter Queen, souls. They are two parts of a whole. She didnât step in at Teldrassil because she is likely aware of the situation in Shadowlands, and hoped that maybe those souls could find their way to her sister to keep Ardenweald afloat. Obviously, that didnât happen.
Is Game of Thrones really the benchmark for good writing now?

Night Elves should switch to worshiping Neptune. She is a much better goddess.

Haha Knaak is one of my favorite fantasy authors! I read his book âLegend of Humaâ in the Dragonlance series when I was in middle school, and all of his Dragonlance books were great. As was his Dragonrealm series!
I was pretty stoked when I saw he was going to be the author of Day of the Dragon, when that came out. I love that book too.
Bellular and Pyro called it once again
Books, not the TV show after season 5 lol
Iâunno - I think of Rhonin and I think cringe, not edge. Edge is more Illidanâs department.
âŚThen again, it isnât like Iâve been willing to touch anything with his name on it since the Sin War trilogy, so what do I know?
Elune ainât the only one 
Burn baby burn!

At best she was ambivalent to teldrassil burning. She isnât really a deity. She is a more powerful version(my interpretation for the more powerful part) of the shadowlands eternal ones.
And therein lies the problem learning she isnt something âotherâ. She CAN intervene. There ARENT some mystical rules preventing it from happening.
She was powerful enough to save yseras soul from being destroyed by fel. In This case you can argue she couldnt directly save ysera because she was being opposed by entities of equal or near-equal power(the burning legion, sargares, kil jaeden etcâŚ)
In the case of Teldrassil while we know sylvanas was in league with the jailer, there is no indication the jailers power itself was being used during the war of the thorns, or that the jailers power was strong enough on Azeroth to oppose her. The LKâs power was all based on artifacts invested with power. The jailers actual reach was whispers at most. Not untilSylvanas fought Bolvar do we see real actual manifest jailer powers on azeroth.
So there is no doubt Elune could have protected Teldrassil. If she wanted too.
She either didnt care or didnt want too.
There is zero indication she âcouldntâ. It would be rampant speculation not based in fact to suggest âoh she was busyâ sorry tree.
We all wanted those stuck up Night Elves to burn.
Canât blame her.
He let his guard down, thatâs on him.

You are basically asking why omnipotent gods do not interfere in wars? You might as well ask any world religion the same thing.
The answer is they probably have their own mysterious plan and we are stuck trying to understand it. Luckily in WoWâs case we will probably end up dealing with Elune herself someday.
Until we know more, sheâs specifically called one of the true deities in the universe that we know of.
Itâs not a deityâs place to interfere with such things.
Youâre assuming much.
Sylvanas has been powered by him since Wrath.
Again, you assume much.
We literally know nothing about her, save for hints and small quests.
Exactly.
Blizzard removed that ability.
Eluneâs lore said she was powerless to stop the Burning Legion.
Right. So much we donât know about what she can and cannot do. The day to day workings of the universe may not be something she can intervene with in order to let the universe play out as it must.
Elune let everyone in Teldrassil die to Sylvanas so they could power up Zovaal and Sylvanas before going to Ardenweald to save it from Zovaal and Sylvanas. Eluneâs the real one playing 12D chess.
