The Moonspray is a night elven transport vessel that serves as part of the kaldorei fleet in Kalimdor. It historically ran between Rut'theran Village, at the foot of Teldrassil, and the port of Auberdine in Darkshore, before the latter's destruction at the time of the Cataclysm.
During the Fourth War, the Moonspray was called into service once more. The ship transported Maiev Shadowsong, Shandris Feathermoon, and Sira Moonwarden from Stormwind City to Zoram Strand in Ashenvale as they followed the tracks of High Priestess Tyrande Whisperwind heading to Darkshore.[1] The vessel remained under the command of its original crew, and was used during the Battle for Darkshore proper to land the first Alliance troops to assault the Ruins of Auberdine.

Trivia[]
- Originally, the boat between Teldrassil and Auberdine was of human design, but in patch 2.3.0 it was changed to a night elven vessel (like the boat between Auberdine and Valaar's Berth in Azuremyst Isle) and had a crew placed aboard.
- In Burning Crusade Classic, the ship is night elven but the crew isn't present, likely because in retail, boat crews were removed not long after patch 2.3 and didn't return until Wrath of the Lich King.
- With the Cataclysm and the ensuing destruction of Auberdine, the Moonspray was retired from active service; it was presumably thought to be the unmanned ship berthed at the east dock of Rut'theran village in subsequent years.
- When the Alliance controls Darkshore, the Moonspray is present in Auberdine Coast twice, located near each other.
