Elune speculation rewrite

  • In the Grimoire of the Shadowlands and Beyond, the Broker author speculates that Elune is a member of the pantheon of Life,[1] paralleling her sister the Winter Queen being a member of the pantheon of Death. Additionally, the Primus states "The Winter Queen is bound to her counterpart in the realms of Life."[2]
    • The Winter Queen considers Ysera a pet of Elune[3] and is said to treat Cenarius like family,[4] whose birth sent a ripple in the Emerald Dream.
    • The broker Ta'lora states that the First Ones enabled their agents of Life to create vibrant realms that reflected seasons of Life.[5]
    • The same broker also speculates that wisps are a soulshape produced from the interference of Elune on souls with an intrinsic bond with the magical nature of their forests.[6]
  • In the Folk & Fairy Tales of Azeroth story "The Embrace" the White Lady is a character that is possibly Elune. In the story the White Lady and the Sun were charged with keeping watch over Azeroth as it dreamed and the Blue Child was born of the love of the White Lady for Azeroth and its denizens.
  • In the same book, "Eyes of the Earth Mother" has Mu'sha, who the tauren consider to be Elune, being the sister of An'she and the daughter of the Earth Mother, and is charged with both taking care of Lo'sho (the Blue Child for the tauren) and sustaining An'she after he was wounded after her mother falls asleep upon the world.
  • It may be that the White Lady isn't just symbolic of Elune, but rather is Elune. Its appearances in Legion and Battle for Azeroth show her power seemingly coming directly from it.
  • Elune has some sort of connection to the Light.
    • In the third round of Ask CDev, Blizzard remarked that "Velen has been a prophet of the naaru for many thousands of years, and it’s unlikely that he would propose such a theory without significant evidence and consideration."[7] Tyrande Whisperwind, Elune's chosen high priestess, has dismissed Velen's opinion on the matter out of hand.[8] Tyrande's rejection of Velen's claim does not preclude connections between the naaru and Elune, but it suggests the moon goddess might not merely be one of them.
    • Community manager Kaivax fueled the mystery a bit further by tweeting "whether or not [Elune being a naaru] is anything other than talk is anyone's guess."
    • The Tears of Elune, were capable of restoring the heart of Xe'ra. It was also speculated by Khadgar that Elune created the first naaru.[9]
  • Elune has some sort of connection to the titans.
  • As the Winter Queen is Elune's sister, it is possible she has other sisters, and Eonar could be one of them.
  • Elune could be the true identity of the Tidemother. See Tidemother speculation.
  • Elune could be, be related to, or have been elevated to the status of a First One on the basis of the amount of cosmic forces she is connected with or can affect and her very complex in-game mythos.
  • Given Elune has engaged with other races on other planets, and the Shadowmoon clan learned their magic from the earth and moon[10] as well as the viability of a Lunar Rock from the Draenor Pale Lady to bless a moonwell,[11] it is possible Elune also helped the origin orcish shamanism.
  • Given "Atal'ai" means "Devoted Ones", it is possible the Zandalari Lun'alai group means "Devoted to Lun'al" that Elune's name to them is Lun'al.
