Notes

Architecturally, the temples share certain characteristics with the palace of Queen Azshara, of ancient Zin-Azshari.
- The Palace's model is a "repaired" version of the Temple of the Moon building model, though with a different entry ramp and no flanking pavilions.
Though several night elven religious buildings could be considered a "temple of the moon", the term now refers almost exclusively to the temple in Darnassus.
