The Winter Queen of the Death faction is said to be Elune's sister, and we don't know if that's really because they were created together by a single creator, a first one, or if it's more of a blood-sister thing, but it's definitely a close relationship.
And Elune and the Winter Queen made a deal of sorts, exchanging souls from their respective realms, creating a cycle of death and rebirth.
Eonar of the Order was also revealed to have a very close relationship with Elune, which clears up a long-standing mystery.
Emerald dream is not a realm "created" by the Titans or Freya, but rather an area that Eonar received from Elune.
Elune gave Eonar a portion of the Realm of Life that she was in charge of, and Eonar used her minions, Nymue, Freya, and others, to transform it into what it is today.
However, Elune is involved with other forces besides these two.
In fact, it was the Light's Heart that was mentioned before this in Legion.
It could be argued that Elune's tear was treated as the pillar of creation because of her dealings with Eonar, even though Elune herself is not a Titan, but we should also remember that Elune's tear reacted with Light's Heart to awaken Xe'ra.
This leads us to speculate that Elune was involved in the creation of Xe'ra through a deal with one of the Pantheon of Light.
The Void is more nuanced than this, with dark powers wielded by the Night Warriors, but can also be traced back to Xal'atath's quotes in the Legion.
Xal'atath referred to Elune then as an upstart goddess.
This is purely speculation, but I suspect that Elune also made a deal with the Void Lords and eventually realized that they were fundamentally incompatible and walked away.
That leaves the Disorder, but we don't even have a proper pantheon here to begin with, so this is the only thing we can really guess at right now.
In any case, this is how I suspect Elune, the Pantheon of Life, approached them, popping up here and there.
I don't know if the Nathrezim report's reference to the insidiousness of Life was meant to refer to Elune's behavior like this, but I think it's more likely that Elune genuinely wanted to be friends with everyone rather than have any nefarious intentions.
I think Elune is a character that embodies both the courage and naivety that are typical of Life.
It's also possible that another member of the pantheon of life, other than Elune, was actually up to something insidious in the first place.
