The White Lady is not visible at Bwonsamdi's Necropolis in Nazmir, where it is instead replaced by a permanent red moon. The two loa Bwonsamdi and Hakkar the Soulflayer have repeatedly been associated with a red moon. Red moonĪccording to "The Embrace", the White Lady turns a dark crimson color when she is angry. It returned to the skies in-game with the release of patch 5.0.4, prior to World of Warcraft: Mists of Pandaria. Though it was missing from the game, it still existed in the lore as seen in Twilight of the Aspects and the quest chain. With the addition of weather effects to the game in patch 1.10.0, the Blue Child vanished from the game, likely due to graphical errors. However, she always returns to her mother's side, causing what mortals call the Embrace. According to the latter story, the Child is curious and adventurous, much like Azeroth's inhabitants, and sometimes leaves Azeroth to explore other worlds in the universe. The tauren refer to it as Lo'sho and believe that they were born from one of the Earth Mother's tears to be raised by Mu'sha and An'she, while "The Embrace" claims that it is the daughter of the White Lady and that she was born out of the Lady's love for Azeroth and her people. The smaller, blue-green moon is known as the Blue Child or the Child.

One Azerothian legend titled " The Embrace" claims that the White Lady has existed since the dawn of time and is responsible for watching over Azeroth's slumbering world-soul and her inhabitants during the night, while the Sun holds the same duty during the day. The night elves know and worship it as Elune while the tauren refer to it as Mu'sha, the left eye of the Earth Mother. The larger, bright and silver moon is known as the White Lady or the Mother. Once every four hundred and thirty years, the two moons come into perfect alignment in an event called the Embrace.īoth moons are invoked in the Lost Sailors' Memorial in Drustvar, which includes a prayer to the White Lady for protection at sea and to the Blue Child for comfort to the writer's family should they die. Various cultures may have different names for them, but usually they play on a mother-and-child theme, as the white moon is much larger than the blue one. ![]()
