Hallo to all! Mein recent expedition to Harandar und exposure to the remnants uff Teldrassil’s still-smolderink roots led me back to mein schtudy und a review uff mein notes on za events surrounding Teldrassil und za subseqent conflict in Darkshore. Ziss invariably led me down za robot hole to mein observations uff za events in der Shadowlands, specifically in Ardenveald. I vas curious about za current state uff za relationship betveen za Night Elves und zere prime diety, Elune. Mein qvestion specifically iss ziss: under mein impression ist zat Elune sacrificed many, many Night Elves viss der burnink uff Teldrassil to send za anima to za Ardenveald, how are za survivors rectifyink zere worship uff vhat appears to be a cruel und capricious diety? Vhat iss your relationship viss Elune now, und how did you arrive to such a conclusion?
I ask ziss not just of akademic curiousity, but ziss iss very personal to meinself. I vass vunce za sort of goblin zat had laid mein own plans und machinations for za vurld dominance, ja? But…vunce I vitnessed vhat happened to Teldrassil und za conflict beyond, mein own self came to realize za horrible price uff unchecked ambition, und I came to realize zat I had so much more to offer to build sumsing grand for all instead uff trying to bend za vurld to my own designs. It vass a pivotal moment in za trajektory uff mein life, and in mein own head I vass vunderink if ziss hass changed mein own direktion zo drastikally, how are za viktims uff ziss tragedy managink za konflikt vissin zere own hearts?
Ziss iss an open invitation, even to uzza races zat might have more insight und access to za Night Elf gestalt zen I have, veilen dank!
(this sounded a lot better when I read it in Discord voice)

“Never been one to call myself a follower of the moon lady like my brethren and their benefactors do. Had more luck in the past answerin’ my prayers with steel rather than faith, ye dig? But I’ve been known to work with the odd cleric or believer here and there. The general consensus I’ve gathered from them that follow Elune after Teldrassil was burned down seems to be your typical ‘the gods work in mysterious ways, OoOooOooOooooOooOooOOOooooo~’ types. You know the sorts. Devotees will be devotees.
Still, while I don’t care much for worshippin’ any deity, I’d be lying if I said that ‘Night Warrior’ power wasn’t something to behold. Isn’t enough to make me a follower, but empowering your high priestess to take the head of the Banshee Queen’s boy toy certainly makes her better than most gods I know of, heh.
If there’s ever a new Night Warrior in town, I’d buy’em a beer. That’s about as reverent as I can be towards her. Now if you’ll excuse me, I gotta ask why my druid companion is lookin’ at me all aghast right now. “

“Regrets are typically beneath me, but if there’s one I do have, it’s that I wasn’t there to see it myself. I’m far from faithful, but maybe the sight of the High Priestess cutting the head of a smarmy idjit clean off would have made me a believer.
Decapitations are certainly an ethos I can get behind.

((Honestly, me too. It’s a VERY fun bit X3)

I have learned that free will is a gift not to be squandered. Though the hunger for blood and retribution still guides me, I am no longer ashamed of what I am. Elune be damned; Sylvanas be damned.
The Blightcaller’s head was not enough. I am happy to operate within the shadows of the moon, hidden from those responsible for Teldrassil until a time of MY choosing.

I thought old Nate was a breath of fresh, if putrid air. My whole career has been spent listening to generals this and captains that; all telling me I’m the Shadow’s gift to Azeroth. “Help us, save us, take us away!” they cry.
Meanwhile Blightcaller tells me to do the job or else, and for good measure he reminds me that the Banshee Queen has no time for my antics. It’s nice to be talked to like a real former person for once!
