That was the best post of that whole thread imo.
From my POV making her officially mother of the Naaru beyond mere, misguided, speculation effectively makes her a pantheon overgoddess for the church of the light and the draenei, which effectively imo invites more justifications to reduce her importance to elven history.
If anything I’d expect it to have a similar effect on lore descriptions of kaldorei religion as the way Legion turned the blood knights into wannabe human paladins in every single way. I very much do not trust the devs to handle a situation that places Elune in a position of relevance to humans without attempting to push human potential even harder.

From my POV it doesn’t at all. And this is coming from a Catholic girl.

I just don’t trust the devs or the writers with much of anything at all these days.
If Grom can kill Cenarius then Broxxigar can kill Elune.
They were not. And Blizzard specifically pointed this out.
Rhielle, our zippy fact checker is back! I know you have been for a wee bit, but nice

Post of the century.
We are talking about the same ‘Elune’ that watched all of her supposed children get bbq’ed. The same ‘Elune’ that cried about her pet dragon more than the only people that bothered praying to the sun light stealing entity in the first place.
Yea, the 9.1 patch revealed that she’s actually not a goddess, but the sister of the Winter Queen instead and part of some pantheon of life.
that doesnt make her not a goddess.
That means that Elune is nothing more than an eternal one in terms of power and position… you know an eternal one similar to the Archon that just nearly died to Anduin.
eternal ones are not all equal in power the winterqueen for example is the one whos power made the maw inescapable she said so her self at the end of the ardenweald leveling quests. and the jailer is said to be an eternal one and be titan plus plus in power and thats now in his weakend state.
I wish Blizzard’s writers would stop retconning old lore just to make it worse.
I get that this is so that they can laugh about Night Elves and say that their religion was wrong all the time, but I don’t see why writers are allowed to do that without anyone at Blizzard caring about it.
Retconning pre established lore just because of a personal vendetta against a playable race?
their adding to the lore im sorry you dont like change but it is inevidable
The rest of that post goes as follows. (gold)
Also, Yogg isn’t even the daughter of Cenarius. Garrosh created the eternal Tauren when Mankrik destroyed the seed of the everlasting dream wardens. If Alleria really wanted Elune to turn to Arthas as Gamon did in MoP, I think we’d have seen Thrall defect from the Alliance already.

HIRE THAT POSTER NOW.

Elune is a support type character, similar to Xe’ra, yes Xe’ra is strong, but put Illidan in front of her face and see what happen.
elune is worshiped all over the cosmos. also quick note about some of the gods and loa in the warcraft universe for instance the loa mue’zala and bwonsamdi and the other loa get more powerful the more worship they get. its likely something similar with elune .
What did you expect, the current writers destroyed everything from the original lore. There is NO LORE anymore, its al retcon and the new lore is just mush up of some weird stuff they come up combined with current cultural psyche and forced social media hypocrisies.

Well, no fantasy gods are perfect… lol…I mean take a look at Zeus and Hera!
oh and Tyrande is also not the Night Warrior anymore so she actually did lose the powers without achieving anything at all in the end, who would’ve guessed.
It’s like Game of Thrones Season 8 all over again lol.

When have we ever known true deities to get that directly involved with such things? Even in our own religions, they don’t. It simply follows the pattern of “there’s more to the universe that we can comprehend and gods will do as they please with a different knowledge of the universe.”

She never cried? What? She freed Ysera of the Old God corruption and tossed her up to the Shadowlands. Eonar is the one who created Ysera, just fyi.

… fair point. LOL
Eonar created Ysera.
Huh? Do you mean when Eonar give a power to Ysera? I don’t recall giving birth to her…
<.<

Whoa! That was a plethora of words regurgitated so fast I missed the point. /joking…I feel ya
