indeed a Druid form. Going on
hearsay from a couple of very
old and surprisingly cooperative
Elves, it would seem that the
Worgen form was too dangerous
to continue practising it, and
those who did ended up corrupted
by some obscure artifact known
as ‘The Scythe of Elune’. These
Druids were soon after banished
to some Emerald Dream
equivalent of Gilneas, and the
Scythe was lost. Quite a long
time later, the Scythe was found
again in a ditch somewhere
in Felwood. The Scythe was
used by the Elves once more
to summon more Worgen for
the purpose of warfare.
Now though, as what I can only
speculate was a cruel lesson from
one or more gods, the Worgen
had the ability to spread the
curse to Humans through bite.
Quickly realising their mistake,
one Elf confined these Worgen to
King to turn into Undead warriors.
