Elune speculation rewrite

 * It may be that the White Lady isn't just symbolic of Elune, but rather is Elune. Its appearances in Legion and Battle for Azeroth show her power seemingly coming directly from it.
 * In the third round of Ask CDev, Blizzard remarked that "Velen has been a prophet of the naaru for many thousands of years, and it’s unlikely that he would propose such a theory without significant evidence and consideration." Community manager Kaivax fueled the mystery a bit further by tweeting "whether or not [Elune being a naaru] is anything other than talk is anyone's guess." Tyrande Whisperwind, Elune's chosen high priestess, has dismissed Velen's opinion on the matter out of hand. Tyrande's rejection of Velen's claim does not preclude connections between the naaru and Elune, but it suggests the moon goddess might not merely be one of them. However, she could in fact be some form of naaru not yet witnessed, perhaps an incredibly powerful one. Since then, it's been revealed that an object linked to Elune, the Tears of Elune, were capable of restoring the heart of Xe'ra. It was also speculated by Khadgar that Elune created the first naaru.
 * Elune has some sort of connection to the titans. This is supported by the name of the Tears of Elune, one of the Pillars of Creation, as all the other Pillars are named after members of the Pantheon, the ruling sect of the titans. The blue dragon Kalecgos became a new Aspect of Magic under the White Lady who is said to be Elune herself, and the rest of Aspects were empowered by the titans, giving credence to this theory. She also taught the dark trolls (before they became night elves) words in Titan such as "Kalimdor". Elunaria, the planet Eonar bears a variation of Elune's name. Elune's direct intervention in cleansing the Tears in Val'sharah, the druidic land where her only major surviving Temple has been based for 10,000 years, as well as the Image of Aegwynn's description of the Tears matching that of the Emerald Dream, also implies some possible connection between the two. If the Winter Queen is Elune's sister, it is possible she has other sisters, and Eonar could be one of them. The involvement of the Tear of Elune in the shaping of Azeroth, as well as Tauren beliefs that Elune/Mu'sha is the daughter of the Earthmother, who laid upon Azeroth to rest, also ties her with the Titan world-soul of Azeroth.
 * It is possible that Elune's power are on par with, if not rival, the Old Gods. Tyrande were able to call upon Elune's blessed power in the Emerald Dream at the other plane of existence to cleanse its corruption caused by N'Zoth, an Old God. This could indicate Elune's presence or involvement with a hypothetical Pantheon of Light, as a "Lightlord".
 * Elune could be the true identity of the Tidemother. See Tidemother speculation.
 * Elune could be, be related to, or have been elevated to the status of a First One on the basis of the amount of cosmic forces she is connected with. See First Ones speculation.
 * Given Elune has engaged with other races on other planets, and the Shadowmoon clan learned their magic from the earth and moon as well as the viability of a Lunar Rock from the Draenor Pale Lady to bless a moonwell, it is possible Elune also helped the origin orcish shamanism.
 * Given "Atal'ai" means "Devoted Ones", it is possible the Zandalari Lun'alai group means "Devoted to Lun'al" that Elune's name to them is Lun'al.
