allways this complains from others about elune sucks…soo much, i mean, elune, one of the oldest standing deity in the entire franchise of warcraft, and you hear only complain, most of the time from hordealts…
“this is soo unfair”:…yeah, you were heared, blizz allready destroyed many things that elune was supposed to be because of that complains.

Imagine being upset that blizz realized having the only true goddess in the entire franchise that favors only one specific race needed to be toned down a bit so that the other races religions didn’t feel so meaningless

The issue is that the other religios were neither affected in power or in any other aspect, because this all powerfull being was a DISTANT relationship…the difference between the wild gods for examples, means loa, they were local and helped their follower directly…and elune did not intervened even ONCE if anything bad happen toward the night elves, she gave her power, much more like the light did or the rl religion did…but nah, this is to much for you, right?
I mean, bwonsamdi did in fact more in sl to help and save his followers as this powerfull deity many hordeplayer hate so much…because “it is unfair that the night elf have a true deity”:…without even knowing what true deity means, this has not only positive effects.
it was on the other hand interesting in how versatail this deity was and in how many domains and aspect´s of the mechanics of the unverse she was associated. tjis was one of the more interesting parts about elunes existent and religion, to expierience that.

it says a lot more, it even says that they had first visions about this create and then elune send them to do for what they pleed before.
before this event there were no wildkings, after that praying for a guardian, they appeared out of nowhere.
Not that “true deity” means anything (a deity is an entity that’s being worshipped by certain people ; its nature is irrelevant and doesn’t affect its divinity). However for some reason many Kaldorei fans had this idea that Elune was significantly higher in the cosmic hierarchy and ranked far above the other known deities (Wild Gods, Titans, Naaru, etc).
Well… their wish was granted. Elune is likely part of one of the great Pantheons appointed by the Ultimate Prime Gods to embody the various cosmic forces. As far as we know, that’d make her rank only second to the First Ones in the entire universe. That’s pretty darn good.
Now it just so happens that this implies being a robot.
I’d rather worship a regular Loa tbh. And I’m sure many other Kaldorei fans would rather the writers leave Elune veiled in mystery and stick to being the unreachable goddess of the Kaldorei instead of making her so all-powerful, universal and flavorless

Adding onto this, the titan keepers consider themselves as gods, too.

And plenty of people, especially the ironforge dwarves, still worship them as gods.
inb4 this is because of Bwonsamdi pulling the same moves and schemes he did to the Winter Queen and Eyir. Or maybe Elune’s dislike of trolls stems from Bwonsamdi hurting her sister so.
I can see Odyn thinking this way, but not the others.
Thorim flat out says that Odyn is a god in the warrior order hall quest.
Probably out of respect due to Odyn being the Prime Designate and his “father”. Thorim doesn’t refer to himself as a god though. Which was what I was getting at. Referring to themselves (as in the individual) as gods.
Speculation.
I mean…the Titans and Keepers ARE their creators technically. So they’d be spot on for calling them their gods.
But they aren’t actual gods. Nothing wrong with the dwarves thinking otherwise though.

Honestly it’s gotten to the point that the topic goes near anything Night Elf-related I just opt out of actually participating. Too much insanity.

By posting at all, you’ve participated so you might as well go all in.
Something that’s been irking me, and not just limited to this thread, but what really is a god in the Warcraft universe? Is there a specific criteria that separates a god from a loa, for example? A wild god, sure, that’s a thing, but what is your garden variety god? What does that word even mean in this mythos?

I think capital G gods don’t actually exist in WoW. Just godlike beings like elune and the titans

This is a problem.
Only the Alliance’s gods matter and are imperiously powerful. If this is true, they are Big G Gods.

Which you know, I’ve complained about recently. The horde desperately needs its own powerful pantheon of gods that answer to them only
