Some claim the first worgen could not distinguish friend from foe. In truth, the first worgen decimated the Satyr army first, and it was only after Malfurion called them freaks of nature that they turned on him as well.
Some claim the same about the worgen summoned to defend Gilneas, that they could not distinguish friend from foe. Just as before, Alpha Prime and his pack decimated the undead scourge, then turned on the Gilneans who treated them as mere weapons.
The worgen attack on Gilneas was not an accident or an outbreak, it was intentional, planned, and organized by the Wolf Cult. Those that joined willingly helped systematically overthrow the kingdom, while the panicking Gilneans bitten in the process found much less control.
The Wolf Cult has a holy book called “Purity of Essence”, which includes rituals and philosophy on the worgen curse. This was written by Alpha Prime, and published in mass by Maxwell Higgens, a Gilnean journalist. The books were given to new aspirants. Different covers are used, including brown, green, and red.
Similar to the Wolfcult in Northrend, Gilnean Cultists were able to use human form to navigate Gilneas unseen, without using the Ritual of Balance.
Genn Greymane ordered Archmage Arugal to summon the worgen to defend the wall from the Scourge.
Archmage Argual did not go mad with grief, as is rumored. The Archmage spoke with Alpha Prime, who convinced the man to bend the knee and serve him instead.
While Archmage Arugal came to see his worgen servants as his “children”, Alpha Prime - even with his prideful title - considered even human-worgen as “brothers”.
At the behest of the Priestess Belysra Starbreeze, the Goddess Elune fuesed The Fang of Goldrinn and a staff imbued with Elune’s radiance into one artifact, creating the worgen curse. The Kaldorei know this relic as The Scythe of Elune, while the Wolf Cult refers to it as The Fang of the Father.
Alpha Prime, his Kaldorei-worgen, and his first human-worgen followers infiltrated Gilneas by digging tunnels under the wall. Tunnels then used by the Kaldorei.
