So I get that the Titans are part of the domain of Order.
But how does Eonar fit into all of this. Eonar does all the Life domain stuff? Seems very related to druids and Elune. But is still a titan of Order right? How does that work with there being an entire Life Domain separate? It’d be like a Naaru thats all about Death magic and stuff. Seems weird.
Then the Life domain stuff itself is a bit confusing to me too. So obviously that’s all about the Emerald Dream and the Wild Gods/Loa and night elf druid stuff. Are wild gods supposed to be the apex of Life Domain like Void Lords are for Void Domain? The wild gods seem a bit weaker.
Then there’s Ysera and Alexstrasa which has always confused me. Both are essentially Life Domain aligned and were made aspects because of Eonar. But one is life magic and the other is nature magic? Which seems exactly the same but I guess not. In academy of algethar the NPCs tall about too much nature magic or too much life magic.
Alexstrasza was always about red fire that’s actually life giving fire but also about growing plants and stuff. But that seems very much naturey and should be Yseras thing? Green drakes Ive only ever seen do poison stuff and sleep a lot. Why isn’t Alexstrasza the one managing the world tree being grown?
If anyone has more in depth lore knowledge and wants to clarify on any of this please do lol.
It’s best to think of their “domain” as their portion of the universe they are tasked with ordering. Eonar isn’t a force of life, she just puts a leash on it. There’s a sequence in DF where you go to a future where the Titans failed to get life under control, and it kicked their butt.
There’s a lot of conflicting lore about wild gods and loa, so it’s dependant on which interpretation you pull from. The only solid thing (for now) is that most are original spirits of the planet.
The difference between Ysera and Alexstrasza is Ysera oversees the Emerald Dream, and Alexstrasza is the wakey wakey eggs and bakey life dragon.

I think of the “domains” as something doodled on a cocktail napkin and then he thought “hey i should put this in a book for some easy cash”.
And not take it any more seriously than that.

The entire idea of different cosmological domains came about like a decade after the Titans were, it’s all inconsistent
If I’m not wrong, they’re basically trying to make a Pantheon of all the cosmic forces and the Titans is one of them where they tried to impose Order on those forces. So I see Eonar is like an agent that specialized in ordering Life. Unordered Life would be similar to what we saw in WoD where theres Sporemound and the Evergrowth I think.

Eonar brings Order to Life and Nature.
Nature(Emerald Dream) can be of Life(Gardens of Life) or Death(Ardenweald).
Nature’s Realm is the Emerald Dream, Life’s Realm is the Gardens of Life, Death’s Realm is the Shadowlands and the Spirit Realm is the Veil/Rift.
Nature’s Realm is a Blueprint for all other Realms.
