Are you sure you have to be a feral worgen to bite someone and turn them into a worgen?
CHOMP!
Good point. It was theorized that Gilnean worgen cannot spread the curse by bite, but this was debunked in BfA when Genn refused to bite Tess.
So yeah, for one, Gilnean worgen can spread the curse if they want to.
And for two, thereâs plenty of feral worgen around.

Gilnean worgen can curse others with blood. Itâll simply be a choice.
With what we see in the heritage Armor lore, being a worgen is shameful and undesirable.
Of course, if Blizzard had done a better job, would they have made the curse, inherited and manifested itself more commonly in adolescence? This would eliminate doubts about the continuity of the race.
But like much of the worgen and others made for the cataclysm, they must have been considered something to be overlooked.
At the moment, Gilneas worgen cannot reproduce (just like the forsaken), unless we start to bite people out there, contrary to âthe beautiful lore of our heritage armorâ that we donât want to do that in, or start to recruit worgens that donât are from Gilneas, which is even more dirty from the point of view of lore, because Gilneas would be something unrelated to these new worgen. Our culture? Our architecture? Our feud with the forsaken?
No value for non-Gilneas worgen.
They are not from Gilneas.
The time skip could be 4-5 years, or 500 years.
Frankly, a world with chaotic time just feels like a scapegoat for âwe need an excuse to do a reset of things.â
A world with a different time dilation is fine, but chaotic time ⌠that just feels like a scapegoat.
Oh, and since magic is involved, we have no clue how things will work. We donât know for a fact theyâre sterile. Same thing with Void Elves, magic is involved, normal rules often donât apply.
Genn does not condone this 
He refused to let Tess be cursed in the heritage questline.
That seems to make sense, right? after all, the fetus is inside the mother.
She does everything for the future baby, as she breathes and eats for him, through her own blood.
But âour werewolves are differentâ is another way of saying incomplete.
Orcs are born green even if they havenât drunk pitt lord blood?
They work differently.
Also, quite often curses ARE hereditary. IE âyour bloodline is cursed, until the time when this impossible contradiction happens, then youâll be free!â
Itâs been done in stories. And someone finds a way to break the curse after numerous generations.

If you are a child Vulpera, and you eat all your veggies and meat, you will become strong and big like a Worgen.
Shouldnât the Forsaken worry more about a time skip then anything else then the Worgen? Without the Banshee and her powers, the Forsaken canât make more of their kind?
A for the Worgen, I could see the curse ingrained as part of their culture down the road, maybe a coming of age test which would be purely optional to the child. They could train in steps. At age 10 they can choose to train, to be one with the wolf. At age 14, they have to survive the wilds for a month with nothing on them but their bare hands. At age 16, the final test they have to kill a powerful monster alone, survive and the Blood Curse is offered as their right of passage to be part of the pack, the defenders of their culture.

Given that the undead have been reconned to slowly decompose, the protective properties of the curse wonât be useful. If the timeskip is say, a century, or more, I expect there wonât be any more than a handful of really decrepit Forsaken and some really grizzled old worgen.
Curious when they retconned the curse. Not sarcasm, genuine curiosity. From what I remember of the Curse of Undeath that Forsaken live with, the decayed parts of their body was due to damage done before they came back. That or probably excessive damage that the Curse couldnât fix. So while their bodies werenât perfect condition, neither would they further decay. Now thatâs just My memory, which may be wrong.
Do you have a link that details the retcon in that matter?
I think it was something in a Golden book, Nathanos musing about how his body would fail his queen eventually.
Could be the method she used to move his soul to a new body and not the standard âCurse of Undeathâ thing.
Or he could have meant it in ways outside of the literal jaw falling off thing. Ie more figurative than literal.

The amount of times lore is changed in this game I wouldnât be surprised if Worgen x Worgen actually made goblins.
Humans can be Monks and Paladins⌠Well Class problems solved⌠Time for a little bite.
Your body request upkeep but replacements are easy to acquire.
Tbh it is kind of messy cause death knights get boasted that theyâre wearing sarong armor giving them immense resistance to magic while them being undead is pointed out they donât need to sleep, eat or feel physical pain.
Pretty much if a death knight wants to kill you, any damage you attempt will be shrugged off and ignored.
ALSO
Weâre going to Maldraxxus, the source of death magic⌠so like death knights can pull ghouls and gargoyle from Maldraxxus, perhaps the Forsaken will be able to summon repairs from Maldraxxus)
Why do you think there are no more Feral Worgen? Theyâre all over Duskwood and Silverpine. (Silverpine just has an Alpha with his mind also Gilneans trying to retake their land)
Plus itâs not like they canât spread it still.

To be fair Genn is like 80 right now and still fighting as if he is at his peak⌠I wouldnât be surprised if the curse has extended their lifespan so a mere 10-20year time skip wouldnât be enough for them to go extinct.
