No emotional connection, you're saying, just a one-night stand?

Well, yes, more-or-less.

I'm still stuck thinking how this all happened if Elune is a naaru like people are thinking nowadays. Can naarus breed?

It's usually impossible to ultimately know anyone's true intentions in any circumstance, no? The best we can do usually is say that all signs point to someone's intentions being as represented.

Cannot source it, but the blizz have established that Elune is NOT a Naaru.

Though I think Naaru are groovy.

vincekunk: They made a nice story about Velen telling the Nelves how to talk to Naaru and being told to shut his ancient trap.

No where do they actually openly state "Because Elune ISN'T a Naaru." The story is pretty much a complete non-answer and was put there to answer a question without actually answering it.

In my mind, it is pretty much established that Elune IS a Naaru. Just look at all the points of similarity between the Night Elven description of their Goddess and the Draenei's description of their equivalent. If if was fingerprint matching, no analyst could tell them apart. If it was a DNA sample, even the blindest of lab techs would be screaming at the perfection of the match.

My question is though, does it really matter if Elune is a Naaru?

I think it's really important to know if Elune is really a Naaru, they are completely mysterious beings and we know almost nothing about them. We don't even know if they have genders. It would be a great deal if they do or if they can give birth. If you read the wowpedia article, this would be revolutionary, considering that Naarus are thought to have been born at the dawn of creation and have no means of reproducing. I hope Blizzard never confirms that Elune is in fact a Naaru, I like to believe she is the only true, almighty goddess and that she is something else.. putting her in the group of Naarus takes away all her mystique and makes her plain :(

Boom chicken brown cow

The whole allegory where Malorne "leapt into the sky", tangled his antlers in the stars and was freed by Elune seems to support the theory that she is in fact a Naaru (or at least capable of space travel).

What probably happened is this: he went into space somehow, then either he got captured by someone, or his spaceship had a technical failure, or something else I haven't thought of, but the point is that he needed help on an interstellar scale, and Elune was able - and willing, which I think is important - to provide it.
