Starfire and MoonfireFollow

I remembered somewhere in the Sunwell trilogy that while most of the Night Elves are nocturnal because of their power being stronger at night, Malfurion became diurnal since his power is stronger when there is sunlight.

And seeing as to how Druids should be stronger in the day too...

Starfire? Moonfire? Wouldn't Sunfire and Rays of Light have made more lore-sense?

Edit: No one?

its a lore thing. the druids draw heavily from the moon for their power, and starfire/moonfire are her way of lending them her power.

Because druids are devotees of the moon goddess Elune. It's her power they're calling on, hence why they're stronger at night. Also, blood elves are the ones with the sun fascination, which is what they turned to after splintering off from the night elf race.

tauren are into the earth mother and elune in equal parts, only elune is known as mu'sha to them. night elves are into ysera about as much as the tauren are into the earth mother, so you could make an argument that perhaps the earth mother is an aspect of ysera, or just the taurens take on things.

its a pretty gray area.

as for the sun thing regarding blood elves (formerly known as the quel'dorei, or high elves, not sun elves) and druidism, thats something of a retcon. no blood elf druids exist in terms of how we know druids today. there might be druidicly-oriented blood elves, but for the most part blood elves in the current lore are too magic addicted to function in a druidic capacity, not to mention the bad blood between night elves and blood elves in general (which is extended to the cenarion circle).
