I'm currently looking at the tauren mythology page on wowwiki. I stumbled upon this text:
Sorrow of the Earthmother
The next myth of the Shu'halo, chronologically, speaks of the falling away of the tauren from their initial state of grace. Whispers rose up from far beneath the world, where the Titans had chained the Old Gods. The tauren fell under the sway of these whispers, and learned of malice and deceit. The Earthmother felt a great sorrow at this, and in her grief, tore out her eyes, the sun and moon, and sent them chasing one another across the stars. The Earthmother, now sightless, remained to listen to and guide her children.
So, apparently, she tore out her eyes, one was the sun, and one was the moon. So what about the second moon, the Blue Child?

Well, it is mythology... That's really the best answer I can give for this...

The Blue Moon was already there.
Oh, I know it was already there. What I'm wondering is why a mythology would purposefully leave out one of the existing moons from their mythology. It seems kind of weird to me.

Well, we need to take into account that Azeroth is over 65,000 years old, and considering that it doesn't take very long for planetary mass objects to form in the Warcraft Universe, it may not have been there when the Tauren's mythology about the Earthmother sprang up.

That's true. And considering it's recent disappearance, it might not even be a natural moon.

Or it could be that it has a highly elliptical orbit, and moves very slowly in that orbit.
Also, that's no moon!

Though, in the true death of Azeroth, I see Sargeras playing pool with the moons and using the planet as the 8 ball.

Bad Idea, the moons would get stuck in the maelstrom.

I think the Moons are bigger then the Maelstorm lol.. and if you've ever read/seen any science fiction where they drop a moon into a planet's gravity well.... not a pretty sight... Thought Chewie went one on one against a moon and lost... but he still roared at it as it crashed into him.
