So far, the night elves have been wrong about everything Elune is and could be, except in their name. SL also, by the way, made other things of their religions simply wrong, after all, Elune does not take them to the stars, from which they derive their entire name: “Children of Starlight” Kaldorei.
And honestly, Elune is a Darnassian name, Mu’Sha is a Tauren language name. Otherwise the Tauren are on the same boat, only that they called their being differently, what else is wrong about Mu’Sha.
And that Azeroth is not called Earthmother is now a problem? Honestly, I’d prefer it over them worshipping Terazhane, although Earthmother would be wrong there too.
- Elune is the white lady => Wrong
- Elune sleeps in the WOE => False
- Elune takes them to the stars after their death => False
- Elune granted them the Irrwish form=> Seemingly false
- Elune taught them the language of the Titans => As of now correct
- Elune showed them visions => Status now correct
- Elune granted them their shape based on their own => False
I don’t know where this always comes from that everything the night elves ever said about Elune is CORRECT. Whereas what we know about the myth is mostly wrong.
My point is that Tauren myths are no more often false than the myths of other races, but it is played up as if it were the case.
Honestly, if Tauren worship Azeroth as a Titan spirit, it could grant them the great shamanistic powers, that natural understanding of nature, of the world itself, that Tauren have.
An’She could mean a kind of embodiment in life and Mu’Sha in death, the Sun and Moon symbolizing life and death, and the duality around it, while the Earth Mother means the here and now, the path from life to death itself. It could represent a deep symbiotic connection in the world itself, just as the dark trolls btw once did, they were just that. A deeply connected race with the world itself
The Tauren could be that as well.
That would be, by the way, also what own, what what still no people has, and not simply an imitation would be from Elune.
It would be something of its own, but yes, of course, it would not be a First one, I get it (although we don’t even know if Elune is a First one, but hey, never mind, ne ;)).
