SPOILERS, i suppose
hi there,
you guys might have noticed that the lore concerning the worgen origins has been retconned. They used to be some interdimensional wolfman from the space between spaces or whatever summoned by Arugal. However, now we know that the first worgen were from a group of druids, the druids of the scythe( originally Druids of the pack), who shape shifted into feral worgen and eventually lost their humanity (well, they were night elves actually...but you got the idea...) to the feral nature of the worgen. As we can read in the Faded Journal (loot from worgen mobs in gilneas), they departed from the night elf society seeking true freedom in the wild. They were unable to control the savage nature of the worgen though, and became increasingly savage. That is until that fellow Ralaar Fangfire appeared. He could control the form, and took over control of the original pack, supposedly teaching the others how to retain their sanity. Yet we know that they were locked away, and put into an eternal slumber deep beneath a tree in the emerald dream.
so i was wondering... what went wrong with the original druids and Ralaar?. As far as we know (by the end of the faded journal), they were able to control themselves. And more importantly, how come a druid ability become some infectious disease like curse, spreading among humans?
