Practically the entire population of Gilneas was transformed into Worgens, but a combination of alchemy and help by night elven druids, the Worgen of Gilneas ended up retaining their sanity and has the ability to freely transform back and forth between worgen and human forms. During the events of Cataclysm, so wildly spread was the Worgen curse within the secluded nation of Gilneas that it crumbled under the combined forces of a Worgen assault as well as the forces of Sylvanas Winrunner's Forsaken fleet, intent on claiming Gilneas for the Horde.
During World of Warcraft, an archmage known as Arugal (more on him later) released the sleeping Druids of the Scythe into the wild, causing the Worgen curse to spread. One of the human nations that formed the Alliance, Gilneas, ended up seceding from the Alliance and building a gigantic wall to separate themselves from the outside world. However, the form proved to consume the druids with so much anger and rage that they became uncontrollable, and Malfurion ended up putting these Druids of the Scythe into deep slumber.įast-forward a couple thousand years into contemporary Azeroth, and the First and Second Wars happened.
In the distant past, a bunch of night elven druids end up unlocking a "Pack Form" with a powerful artifact known as the Scythe of Elune in order to battle the Satyrs during a war. For a primer on Worgens, click Episode Three of my Lore of Hearthstone series, in which I cover the backstory of the Worgen as a whole. The Witchwood itself takes place in Gilneas, the land of the worgen. The Lore of Hearthstone edition for the Witchwood expansion, released earlier this year!
