True, but he had good ground to do that regardless of any influence affecting him. Again, it’s speculation on my part, but if that influence was a result of willingly following the Light, then it still would’ve been in Turalyon’s character to try and slay one whom killed a Naaru.
Thank you. I typically like to bring sources, or specify something as either my opinion or just speculation where I can to avoid confusion.
That having been said, there does seem to be two predominant philosophies among the Naaru. We’ve seen this zealous side with Xe’ra, with questionable methods and single-minded purpose. It’s very militant, it has a very narrow view, and it’s very exclusionary (us vs. them, with them being anyone who doesn’t follow the Light).
The flip side to this coin is best embodied by A’dal. A’dal welcomes anyone to Shattrath, even demons or void-corrupted races like the Arrakoa. Not once had A’dal ever tried to change the views of faiths of others, but leaves it to them to decide for themselves. You had Warlocks in Shattrath assisting the forces therein. Through this, we see that A’dal embodies this general benevolent ideology of the Light, one where other forces aren’t aberrations, but which provide diversity which enriches all.
By applying these observations to new lore from the Shadowlands and using their pantheon as something of a template, A’dal very much seems to be the sort of Naaru that lives in his lane, and is fulfilling his purpose as the First Ones would have willed. He doesn’t go out of his way to conquer other cosmic powers, but focuses on aiding those in need, creating safe havens and sanctuaries.
Where Xe’ra contrasts, however, provides a certain grey line. Anyone whom can read the writing on the wall knows that if Illidan didn’t kill her, we likely would have at some point in a raid. Does this mean she’s acting much like Zovaal, and operating outside of the First One’s design? Considering we’ve no hint of other Naaru opposing her, that doesn’t seem right. If that’s the case, is her purpose more in line with, say, that of the Primus and Maldraxxus, more militant in nature?
Even then, however, the Primus is the one accredited with the creation of domination magic in the first place. It certainly seems like the sort of tool that’d fit into a militant faction’s arsenal. So, if Xe’ra is the Prime Naaru of a militant, ‘Covenant,’ (for lack of a better word), it stands to reason her arsenal would have similar weapons.
Again, that’s speculation, and we do not have enough information about what happened on Draenor with another, ‘Light Mother,’ let alone what the significance of Turalyon’s lost eye glow means. Suggesting it is a reflection is as much speculation as it is to suggest it is a mark of some kind of influence.
