This is definitely on the list of Top 10 anime betrayals.

b/c literally noone other than fringe parts of the Kirin'tor (like Kel'Thuzad), The Legion, Arthas and Bolvar would have even known the shadowlands existed.
Maybe Cenarius, the Wild Gods or Loa would know, but they would have only spoken of it as part of their renewal and themselves not known all aspects of their rebirth.
At least now, given the huge deck stacked in favor of the Night Elves, Elune being at the very top (of demigods, giants, ancients, dragons, chimera, legions of sentinels, the druids, greater cenarion circle, etc) how the burning of Teldrassil was essentially the will of their god(s).
The Alliance gets the Horde's most popular race. The Horde should get the Alliance's most popular race in return. Alteraci Humans for the Horde!

Lol. First time Elune speaks and we just learn that she's a sociopath.
It ignores such insignificant forces as time, entropy, and death
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!
Lets review it:
- Ardenweald needed help.
- Elune took advantage of the war and Sylvanas, and sent the elf souls.
- Elune didn't know about the Maw problem.
- Elune brings the Night Warrior power (that can destroy the world) to Tyrande. Elune intervened to bring the chance of revenge.
- Why? actually Sylvanas helped Elune to send souls to Shadowlands (Elune did not know about the Maw).
I wonder why Tyrande is not mad, Elune brought her powers that was sending her into a suicide path.
Well, revenge and justice are not the same thing. In my opinion, retribution isn't morally justifiable, and while a bit cliche, I don't think there's anything wrong with putting that message into the story.
I personally think the best outcome would be both for Tyrande to take the moral high ground and for Sylvanas to face justice. Sylvanas deserves whatever is coming to her, but Tyrande doesn't need to be the one to deliver it. My ideal ending of their conflict would actually be for Tyrande to simply leave Sylvanas to her fate.
Obviously my concern, and I think everyone's concern, is that Blizzard will attempt to excuse or whitewash Sylvanas's actions somehow, and things like her sundered soul are contributing to that concern. Personally, I think the reasoning for Sylvanas's actions make sense in terms of her overall character arc, and are consistent with everything she has done since Arthas died. That doesn't mean I think that what she did was right, just that I think the motivation makes sense from her point of view. That also doesn't mean she gets off the hook; what she did was unforgivable.
I absolutely don't want Sylvanas to have some sort of "redemptive" moment, either. If she's come this far, and done such horrible things, I want her to go down with the conviction that what she did was right, from her perspective. Which is to say, I think the closest she can be allowed to redemption in this story is accepting the consequences of her actions.
I really don't know if that's the case. Wild Gods and others like them definitely have the option to be reborn into the mortal realm, so I don't know why that couldn't be extended to others, perhaps via Elune's own blessing, especially if she's part of the Pantheon of Life.Secondly, there's no saving the Night Elves. They can save them from the Maw yes, but they will still be stuck in the Shadowlands. So that ship sailed 4 years ago.
More importantly, I still really have no idea what the endgame for the Shadowlands, as a realm of Death, will even be. There are many, many souls that were wronged by the Jailer and his minions, and part of restoring balance would be doing right by them. There has also been too much talk of the injustice of Death to end with things just returning to the status quo, so I expect there to be some sweeping change to the mechanism of death before everything is over.
Perhaps that will mean that the souls stolen by the Jailer will have the option of renewal and rebirth, or reincarnation. I don't know if that means returning to life as they were before they died, or being born anew, but let me just say that I can 100% imagine a cutscene at the end of this expansion where a cascade of night elf souls stream down from the skies of Azeroth like shooting stars.

It would be as easy as Elune asking to her sister "Why?"
Instead, she sent the influx of fresh anima, aka "her favorite children", without a simple fuck given.
If any believes this is good writing... hey, at least explains the nelf dark ranger.
