    Hiya Folks! The cinematic was actually very beautiful, and I've grown to love everything the cinematic team does with Night Elves. The music, the aesthetic and the star tattoos are a lovely touch. Wish we could've seen Night Warrior Tyrande a bit more, since the aggressive, warglaive wielding former priestess was one of my favorite arcs since 2018, only to have it end so abrupt.

      Not only that but he left with his brother's blessing too after they made a truce
      Then we assumed he became this mad tyrant that abuses everyone? I mean what?
      And then what? "oohh it was actually Kaelthas did all this not Illidan he just framed him with all that shit"

      While Blizzard's writing is anything but stellar, jabs such as these is a clear indication people would not process it even if it was.
      Character. Perspective.
      Elune is a cosmic deity seeing the grand picture, night elves were going to die, death is way less relevant in the universe where existence of the afterlives is a known fact, unlike ours.
      So yes, from her perspective the solution was anything but stupid.

      in all fairness, I dont think any of the covenants, outside of the vampire ones(can remember the name atm), knew that the drought was caused by the arbitrator being broken and the souls going to the maw until after the shadowlands xpac started.
      And even if they did, we know so little about Elune, that there was a good chance that when Elune sacrificed the Night elves, that she had no idea the souls were all being channeled into the maw.
      Though I do wish Elune showed more emotion and sadness when she learned the fate of the souls being sent to the maw instead of her sister.

      Goblins? "Oh shit, they just happened to be here witnessing us violating a peace treaty and trying to assassinate Thrall. No witnesses, kill them all.

      According to something I read, Elune didn't want Tyrande to make the exchange of her life for Sylvanas' death, it's not that she denied her revenge, due to the night warriors actually embodying "Elune's Wrath". It was just that she didn't want to loose a powerful priestess and herald to a banal decision because of wrath, so in the wake of her anger whilst connected to Elune she accumulated power, thus being so discouraged and uncontrolled that the Winter Queen had to intervene, thus giving Tyrande a perspective from afar and allowing both of them a choice she didn't know she had until that moment. She was part of something bigger than she would've never known if she happened to kill Sylvanas, or just simply mourned her people.

      @@michaelbeleut6480 I don't think it's about how powerful, it's about how much she knew.
      Let's assume she knew about the shadow lands. I mean, that's a given, her sister is winter queen. So let's say they had some beef and elune says, eff it, I'm not letting my favored children to become batteries in Ardenweald but instead wisps that stay in Azeroth. But being family, that love won't go away, so things like the Sundering, the invasions... might have been her way of appeasing or saying sorry to her sister of stopping that flow of Anima. That amount of sudden surge of Anima surely would help Ardenweald.
      But with the Burning, it might have been Zovaal letting Elune know that there is a drought that is happening. And that might have been the bargain sylvanas was talking. Like, zovaal says to elune, your sister needs you, this banshee can help your sister. All I need from you is not to kill her. That's why she made the elves slumber rather than fight back or run away. I'm sure she knew about the maw, but not know why the drought happen. All she knew, she needed to help her sister. That's what I'm assuming here, given how treacherous Zovaal can be. Hell, it could have even been a plan by Denathrious. Elune might have been duped all these while.
      If this is true, the sheer arrogance of sylvanas knowing that tyrande would never be able to kill her would be... crushing for Tyrande. And for Elune... that bargain is no longer valid. But the Jailer would have already left sylvanas to her end which he did, because he EXPECTED sylvanas to betray him. You don't just betray a betrayer.

      @Aztonio 3 года назад +1

      @wowalinbie I think Blizzard should add a narrator in WoW, continuously explaining the story for every loremasters who don't even read quests, that would be expensive but maybe efficient...
      It's not false to say that the lore is in puzzle so hardly understandable, because of how enormous it is with all the elements spread among the contents. For example BfA novel was way too important to understand the expansion, but at least it's more okay with the last SL novel. So at this point it's legit to criticize Blizzard narration... Not the story itself.
      But that's also why we have RUclips videos from people who could study everything... Well, I think in English RUclips there are a lot more of clickbaiter than actual lorists but you should have actual passionates ones to recompose and explain everything Blizzard made before judging.
      So yes, WoW never had a really amazing lore, it's worse when we look at the old Warcraft games... but the lore we can get since some expansions is just *fine* and constantly improving (except with WoD maybe), and in the same time they create future elements, they try to correct all the shit they did in the firsts expansions when they didn't know were they were going...
      That's why I don't understand where you all do come from, if you don't like WoW lore nowadays... you should just have left it 17 years ago without looking behind you.

    okay at first I thought Elune meant she was responsible for killing the night elves, but re-watching it made me realise she just meant she sent the souls of the night elves to Ardenweald, but they went to the maw instead? okay but they were dead, their souls would of come before the arbiter, and they would of been sent to the appropriate afterlife, so did Elune just assume she could circumvent that process and send them all straight to Ardenweald? or is she just trying to take credit for something she had no control over.
    in saying this, night elves do have the innate ability to stay on Azeroth as wisps, so did Elune stop this process and instead send their souls to the shadowlands? not specifically to Ardenweald but the whole of the shadowlands? but if she heard their pleas, wouldn't their pleas be that they aren't getting any new souls and they all go to the maw? then why would she just send more souls to the maw.
    any way you look at it, it doesn't make sense, they wanted to bring Elune into the plot so people wouldn't lose interest in the story, but Elune remains as one of the most Elusive (get it) figures in Warcraft lore, but they're just taking away what makes her special.

      She never clarifies, but it's possible that "hearing their cries" and pleas didn't mean she actually heard their voices crying out with actual words, but rather that she felt their desperate need for anima and could hear and feel this great cry out. But I'm pretty sure she just prevented or convinced the nelfs to go to the Shadowlands in place of remaining on Azeroth as wisps. I think she was confident she could send them straight to Ardenweald, and continued to hear these cries, but assumed they were cries of those experiencing the anima drought (and not cries of souls going to the Maw). Idk, that's all my own conclusions for this spaghetti noodle timeline of lore this game has. 🤷🏽‍♀️

The direct inarguable modern English equivalent of her words is "A tragedy happened and I made the best of it.". The chief complaint is that if Elune can choose what happened to the souls of people who died there, she could have stopped the fire. That's too strong of an assumption and there was no indication that what happened was fine with her, even if it would turn out to be useful had it worked according to plan. Their articulation was way more exact on the particulars of their limitations than is being drawn from the scene by many people.

      Even if Elune didnt “killed” those night elves she interfered and damned their souls. If they stayed as Wisps they would have just spread around Kalimdor, instead she dragged them into the Shadowlands and the Maw.

    A line needs correcting: 1:06 "then i have condemned my favorite children FOR NOTHING"
    Because she condemned them to a burning death anyways, as they were crops to be harvested, or livestock that should die to feed souls to the shadowlands... in my opinion, elune betrayed the night elves...

      Without vengeance there can be no renewal. You will rot inside if you dont deal with your problems first before “retiring”.

    Wtf what kind of deity sends thousands of their worshippers to die just to feed their siblings??
    Edit: in retrospect idk why I said that this is definitely one of the things deities would do to their followers.

      Yeah Elune basically put a send to Ardenweild stamp on all the night elves dying, not aware the Archon was basically blue screening and nobody can figure out how to restart them.

If Nightborn count remove Paladin and add Warlock and probably Battle Mage (plate wearing melee spell Breakers, not the clothie ranged casters)
