True. Excitement might have gotten ahead of me just a little there

Definitely not the first worgen, though if thatâs what these beast were they would probably have been the first to appear on the Eastern Kingdoms.
Itâs an interesting tidbit. Iâm digging the idea that thereâs a âsecretâ history of worgen in the world. Itâs fun.

Iâm sorry but lol I really donât have the attention span for a Faerin story lol.
Multiple players actually, some of whom I donât particularly care for, but it is what it is. They still have a valid point about the overrepresentation of Elune.
Also this is pretty rent-free behavior.
Edit: Dreadmoore is subhuman filth.

It feels weird, that the Alliance characters like Anduin/Jaina/Dannath are all going home. It feels like âjobs done, Dornagal is safe, we can leave nowâ even though we still have one more major patch!

Another issue I just heard is⊠Craishae is a half-elf, but her story mentions Thoradinâs Wall right? Which means she was living in modern-day Arathi Highlands before the Arathi Empire went across the sea, and became mixed human and elf.

That doesnât sound like much of a retconned or a retcon at all. I assume human/elf couple were still a thing but not as common as what the Arathi turned out to be. Think Arathor.
Craishae being the âlost queen of Arathorâ, itâs safe to assume that Arathor still existed at that time.
But it also written that Thoradinâs Wall existed since generations so we can guess it happens between - 2,500 and - 1,200.

The ties to Anâshe definitely make sense, and I forgot about the Blue Child, which also fits. Maybe the corruption that overran ancient Arathor was the same shadow that Anâshe fought and was wounded by in the tauren legend. The fiery and light-infused water in the temple could be his blood. The temple could have been built by trolls who worshipped him as a loa before he disappeared. Left field theory, but maybe Anâshe will finally return in Midnight, wounds healed, to take up the fight again and turn the tide of battle against the darkness (and yes, hopefully with big involvement by the tauren!).

Is she not meant to be an ancestor of Anduin Lothar as well? Are we now supposed to assume that Anduin Lothar had elven blood in him, as well as the powers of the Sacred Flame?
An ancestor yes, but not a direct one. Like maybe she is his great great cousin or something. The only one who all the Lothar could theoretically say they all decended from is Thoradin.

If she wasnât a directe one, she wouldnât have been queen of Arathor in the first place.

which overrepresentation, elune does nothing for 99% of thetime in the story
Would be nice. One can dream!
Personally doubt it is Anâshe, but Iâve always felt that particular myth is a strangely ignored goldmine. The personified representation of the sun doesnât feature or matter to anything? Really? But one of the moons do? It is a dangling thread begging to be tugged at.

Did you turn your monitor off for Legion, BFA, Shadowlands, and DF?

She played a minor role in BfA, by saving Kaldorei souls and empowering Tyrande during the Warfront and had a bigger role in SL
Elune did nothing in Legion or DF as far I can recall. Unless you got some solid examples

Legion: Valâsharah, Ysera, Tear of Elune as one of the MacGuffins to save the world.
DF is Belâameth, where we are defending a new world tree grown from another Tear of Elune infused with Nelf souls
Even TWW has plot surrounding the World Tree seed she gifted Eonar.

So two minor roles in BfA and Legion and a slightly more major role in SL isnât really doing a whole lot. I wouldnât count BelâAmeth since itâs just a continuation of the SL Night Fae storyline
Relative to Anâshe? Or pretty much any other deific entity on that scale? Elune has her finger prints allover current, recent, and ancient events. Which is fine, honestly. The gripe (for me at least) is not that there is too much Elune, but that there isnât enough of the other stuff. It feeds into a recurring issue where history is always Human or Night Elf oriented.

Interesting, I am intrigue:
-
Scion means descendant of a notable family⊠So is the Light Scion the blue child or someone related to Elune or Anâshe? Her shifting from elf, to human, to troll⊠that was an interesting way to show this light being⊠was it symbolic as to represent the races that have wielded this Light or should we interpret it as humans not being entirely the products of the curse of flesh on the titan-forged iron vrykul?
-
The curse what could it be? It canât be undeath because people afflicted could turn them back to normal. A Void Corruption? It canât be a type of Vampire Infection as much as I love to see WoW version of that beyond the Dreadlords or Darkfallen, but it canât be Worgen Curse unless itâs much older than we know and that would mean a bit of change to the lore.
Consider my interest picked. I hope we donât have to wait long to atleas see some of this in game in some shape or form!
