Elune didn't commit genocide.
I don't know why people are suddenly thinking Elune had the power to save tens of thousands of night elves, something she's never had the power to do before at any point in night elf history. And something we already knew she didn't do, because she... didn't do it.
It's not like we're only finding out about Teldrassil now.
She gave night elves the comfort of slumber as they died, and let the souls pass on to the Shadowlands instead of tethering them to Azeroth as wisps. That's the extent of her role in Teldrassil.
I mean, Christ, guys. Criticize the story all you want, Blizzard are terrible at telling overarching narratives. But at least criticize the story as it's presented, not some completely made up shit in your head.
Listen to the dialogue properly: "in the wake of a tragedy, I send forth the cascade of souls of my chosen people."
She did not orchestrate the genocide of Night elves. And it seems like they were never meant to go to Shadowlands, she sent them to her sister willingly. She did not know that they would end up in maw.
Warcraft 3 Reign of Chaos was the game that brought me into gaming. I was 17 years old then, I abhorred gaming before this game. From then on, I became a fan of Warcraft and Blizzard. To see it all go down the drain like this is truly sad for me. No king rules forever but at least some of them went down in history as real badasses. I hoped Blizzard and Warcraft would be one of them but it is no longer possible.
i don't like that video in general, but i'm actually feeling good we finally get Elune officially in warcraft universe
sadly that debunks the naruu theory that i was big supporter of it, but i like that part is finally clear, hopefully NO FUCKING SHITCONS EVER on this
The beginning of wisdom is the statement 'I do not know.' The person who cannot make that statement is one who will never learn anything. And I have prided myself on my ability to learn

It still leads to the massive genocide of the Night Elves though. Like I know, it actually fits. But the problem is that this didn't have to happen in the first place. They didn't have to go this way. And every single patch and cinematic reminds of that.
So basically the Horde was the instrument of Elune's will in the burning of Teldrassil.
Steven needs his wife to come out of this looking well, she is the protagonist after all.
Well, no. I mean I'm a Horde main but that's not what she said. Elune didn't intervene because her sister needed souls to help. I think the real takeaway is that "the cycle" is all the same to Elune, life or death, for her 'favored children', that they are no worse off being renewed in Ardenweald than on the mortal plane. Which is a helluva lot to swallow seeing as she had at least something to do with them being literally immortal for a good long while, but it's also a much different thing than actually her (or the writers) excusing burning Teldrassil, which they did not do.
Commenters here are as slow/inept as they on wowhead.
Wow lore is the poop but no excuse for being unable to repeat dialogue/understand what’s going on.
FOMO: "Fear Of Missing Out", also commonly known as people with a mental issue of managing time and activities, many expecting others to fit into their schedule so they don't miss out on things to come. If FOMO becomes a problem for you, do seek help, it can be a very unhealthy lifestyle..
Blizz should just pull a lore ripcord and we wake up right after SOO with all 4 olg gods active and alive with Black Empire expansion... and everything up to SL was just a bad dream
I’m not defending the story. I am insulting the people who can’t understand information as it was told to them seconds prior, who can’t remember what they did in quests, who can’t understand that actors in a story are not omniscient, and that omniscience for a reader makes the story as boring as an encyclopedia.
Cope.
Elune didn't start the fire, nor the entire war. She could step in, but she didn't. Teldrassil is still on Horde and Sylvi. Calm your pitchfork.
Sometimes, the light of the moon is a key to other spaces. I've found a place where, for a night or two, the streets curve in unfamiliar ways. If I walk here, I might find insight, or I might be touched by madness.
Not just absolved of Teldrassil. Absolved of Gilneas too. Since Sylvanas had her soul split, who knows how many other Forsaken were personally slain by Frostmourne and thus had their soul split too? So remember Jim, the butcher who killed Gilnean kids? He's absolved too because he had his soul split. Remember Bob the mad apothecary who created a blight nuke that launched on Gilneas? He's absolved too because he had his soul split. Remember General Whats-His-Name who enslaved the people of the Gilnean village and forced them to work in a mine? He's absolved too because he had his soul split.
This expansion can essentially be renamed to "WhitewashLands".
The Void. A force of infinite hunger. Its whispers have broken the will of dragons... and lured even the titans' own children into madness. Sages and scholars fear the Void. But we understand a truth they do not. That the Void is a power to be harnessed... to be bent by a will strong enough to command it. The Void has shaped us... changed us. But you will become its master. Wield the shadows as a weapon to save our world... and defend the Alliance!
