What magic to Shadowweavers use?
This one has a simple answer, and a more complex explanation. The Nightbane pack’s Shadow Weavers are using Shadow magic.[1] They use the abilities “Shadow Bolt” and “Shadow Word: Pain”, are called Shadow Weavers, and summon Woven Shadows. Calor says these worgen “conjure foul shadows to tear their enemies apart from a distance”.[2] Shadow Magic is a type of magic using the energies of darkness and void.[3]

Why do worgen use Shadowmagic?
It’s easy to see that these wild worgen are using shadowmagic. The question next is, why? We know the original worgen were Kaldorei druids, so why isn’t their society founded more on druidic magic?

In short, the first worgen were druids, but were banished to the shadow afflicted Emerald Dream, where they did battle with Nightmare Satyr. The worgen that were let out by various means began packs in Silverpine, Felwood, and Duskwood, all three of which are seen using shadowmagic. For the full story, see Shadowmagic in Worgen History below.

Shadowmagic in Worgen History

The first worgen were originally Druids of the Pack, who used the (four legged) wolf form, among other druidic magic. When they became worgen (two legs), they no longer seemed to use druidic magic. After Malfurion Stormrage found them and called them abominations, he banished them to the Emerald Dream. Unbeknownst to him, the Emerald Dream was being attacked by Shadow magic, turning pockets of it into Emerald Nightmare ruled by Satyr, known as Lords of the Emerald Flame.

The archmage “Ur” studied shadowmagic, and even wrote a bestiary on his findings called “The Book of Ur”. In it, he described the shadowy nightmarish dimension he’d found, where the worgen lived in constant battle with Lords of the Emerald Flame. It was with his research that Archmage Arugal, under orders from Genn Greymane, used to summon those worgen. Not knowing that the shadowrealm was in fact the corrupt Emerald Dream, the worgen were banished wolf-elves, and the Lords of the Emerald Flame were evil demon-elves. The shadowmage Arugal betrayed Genn Greymane and swore loyalty to Alpha Prime, the first worgen and one of the many he summoned.

The Book of Ur
The worgen’s home is a dark place, a place of nightmare. If that world fosters locations safe from the cursed Worgen, then my research has revealed no such bastions. And if one considers the ferocity and wickedness of the Worgen, it is likely that no such bastions exist. It is surmised that the Worgen are content to remain on their world, for although some Worgen possess powerful magic, they have made no attempts to reach Azeroth of their own accord. And for this, we are fortunate. As mentioned above, some Worgen are skilled in the mystic arts, and their magic is of darkness and corruption. Curses and supernatural poisons are common, so be forewarned–those who face the worgen should arm themselves with wards against shadow.

At the same time, we have Velinde Starsong using the Scythe of Elune to summon worgen in Felwood, then dying with the Scythe in Roland’s Doom, leading to their accidental release in Duskwood at the hands of the Defias Brotherhood. All three packs (Bloodfang, Terrowulf, and Nightbane) originated from worgen summoned from the corrupted Emerald Dream, where they had been in conflict with Nightmare (shadow) Satyr. And thus, all three have their own shadow-users in their ranks.

The question of worgen sanity and culture is a tricky one, especially when it comes to the word “feral”. I could - and should - write a separate article on “feral-vs-mindless”, and the popular misconception. So many think “feral packs” are dumber than dogs, and that only “cured worgen” can be sane.


:face_with_monocle: Feral Worgen Culture

Feral packs include the Nightbane and Bloodfang, the former which has hierarchy and architecture, and the latter which can use human form at will and planned and orchestrated the fall of Gilneas. Feral worgen are sentient and live in the wild in a pack culture by choice, and many of the members of the Bloodfang and Nightbane have been initiated and given the bite of their free will, as we see in the comics Curse of the Worgen and Dark Riders respectively.

There is no cure needed and, in fact no cure exists; as stated by Belysra Starbreeze in Curse of the Worgen issue 5 concerning the Ritual of Balance, it is no cure. The Ritual of Balance is only helpful in helping you make peace with past grievances, as exemplified in both Curse of the Worgen and in the novel Wolfheart. In the latter, we are actually shown how Genn Greymane and his royal followers are -not- living as humans as if cured, but rather have adopted a pack culture themselves, living in the forest and hunting deer and boar with their claws and teeth. Hunting on all fours isn’t just a feral pack thing, it’s a worgen thing. Feral worgen are sentient, just live outside more.


:crazy_face: The Mindless State

So there’s the feral packs, which are cultures of people. Then there’s The Mindless State, which is the rabies-like fight-or-flight state. We’ve seen this occur in at least four examples, being the Gilnean player character, bitten Gilnean civilians, Mardigan, and Sven Yorgen. In these cases, this occurs when a human is bitten, and does not take it well, completely losing control. On the other hand, we’ve seen plenty of other cases where people become worgen, and remain in control - Alpha Prime, Genn Greymane, Halford Ramsey, Wolf Cultists in Gilneas/Northrend/Duskwood etc - meaning that the mindless state is not the default outcome.

This is where emotion comes into play, and where that therapeutic Ritual of Balance becomes so important for some worgen. The Worgen Curse is pumped full of raw emotion. It draws on the power of Goldrinn, who is the god of not just rage, but survival, meaning any of the character’s fears trigger instincts of survival, which present themselves as a fight-or-flight response, thus the Mindless State. If a character falls into a depression or a panic, they run the risk of going Mindless, as the wolf side takes over in an effort of survival.

Bitten and Mindless: You, Gilneans, Mardigan, Sven, etc

The player character, the attacked Gilnean civilians, Mardigan and Sven Yorgen were all attacked and bitten without consent and during or after traumatic events. You and the rest of the Gilneans were fighting off the werewolf apocalypse. Mardigan had been kidnapped by Duskwood’s Wolf Cultists, hated his father, and was a pretty dumb kid besides. Sven Yorgen came home to his farmstead in Duskwood to find his wife and children had been brutally murdered by at the hands of the Dark Riders, which you can read about in Jitters’ journal. In each example, there’s no one that would come out of that emotionally unscathed. Now throw a lycanthropic curse on top of that and boom, you’ve got yourself a Mindless Worgen.

Bitten and Not Mindless: Alpha Prime, Genn, Halford, etc

But let’s look at the other examples. Alpha Prime wanted to become worgen, and while he was fighting tragically blood a war at the time, he turned out to be one of the most cunning worgen of all time, even becoming a cult leader. Genn Greymane used to hunt worgen on horseback with his noble friends as one would a fox, until he was bitten. But even then, by the skin of his teeth, he managed to keep his worgen form at bay, even all through the fall of Gilneas and the whole Forsaken attack, managing not only to -not- go Mindless, but also keep human form
 until his noble friends figure it out. Halford Ramsey was bitten when investigating the Wolf Cult, and lasted three whole days in pain until he finally turned, at which point he was still capable of holding long complex conversation with Alpha Prime, the cult’s leader. He was unable to take human form until he had taken the Ritual of Balance, which helped him let go of his anger against his sister for her suicide, thus allowing him to unlock human form. Unlike the Wolf Cultists that already knew human form, such as those he chased and that literally turned and bit him.

:face_with_thermometer: Curing the Mindless

Now back to your real question


Can feral worgen become civilized? Well, yeah, I suppose. Considering Nightbane hunt and howl and live in the woods, and Gilnean worgen hunt howl and live in the city, it’s a difference of culture and ideals. Given the Wolf Cult, you do not need the elf ritual to learn to use human form, and many feral worgen likely already walk through Stormwind as they did Gilneas, hunting for new aspirants for the Wolf Cult of Duskwood.

Now if you meant a mindless worgen becoming sane, that’s a different story. We see calming chemicals used on Mardigan, the Player, and Sven Yorgen. A rage-suppressant is used on Mardigan, allowing his human side to resurface, albeit with boiling rage just beneath the skin. A potion with Mandrake root and Moonopetal is used on the player in Gilneas to similar effect. That Gilnean potion was the same that Genn used to remain human all through the fall of Gilneas, but he never went Mindless before.

  • Can feral worgen sort of
 “choose” to become not [mindless]?
    I have yet to find a mindless worgen who has made their way back to sanity on their own. However, I would say it is possible, depending on what drove them to mindlessness. For instance, if a soldier with PTSD went mindless under gunfire, he may return to sanity sometime later if given time away from gunfire to recover. But there are some mental illnesses people just can’t return from on their own, much like the real world. I also like to think that feral packs are a good place for mindless worgen to live and recover, since they both contribute to a pack and they aren’t risking hurting anyone like living in a human city.

  • Do [mindless worgen] need to be given the ritual/alchemical potion to become mentally “there” enough to integrate into society?
    If we’re talking about getting a mindless worgen to a state where they can attend Mrs Nesbitt’s tea party, I’d say there’d be three key points involved. Firstly, for there to be a human part in them that wants to get better. Second, the sedating medication as used on Sven and the player. And third, the Ritual of Balance to help them move past whatever it is weighing on their mind, as used on the player, Halford Ramsey, and Varian Wrynn. And lastly, time. You’re not going to go from Kujo to Doug in a day. But again, if we’re talking about just feral not-mindless worgen integrating into society, the dark truth is that they already do.

  • Is there a downside to becoming non-[mindless] through alchemy?
    I suppose if we’re considering a mindless worgen such as the PTSD soldier example, we have the two options. Let him possibly find his way back to sanity over time, or provide medication and ritual. I believe the former is possible, but we haven’t seen it, and most mindless remain in the local feral pack, being lead by the sane feral worgen. We have seen the latter occur, after which the medicated eventually rejoin human society. I would wager that is the major difference between the two options, being the time it takes and who they end up staying with.

Can you roleplay as a bloodfang worgen?

1 Like

Sorry for the delay here. This question in particular has been asked and debated on the forums since the worgen were first introduced over a decade ago, and continues to be a subject of debate. The community developer “Lore” included an answer in a forum post, but his answer is vague and nonsensical not because of his answer, but the reason behind it.

The Chadster @killermonkey78: Can worgen reproduce naturally or only through a bite or blood? Would their child be a worgen or normal?

CDev Response: The worgen curse is exactly that: a curse. Its origins are rooted in the druidic “pack form” that was later altered by the Scythe of Elune. The end result is the worgen we see today, beings that can transmit their affliction to others via a single bite.

In theory, if two worgen were to mate and produce an offspring, that offspring would not be a worgen. The child would merely possess the genetic material of his or her parents, like any other child sans the curse.

On the Origin of Races: Worgen Reproduction :couple:


The heretical or genetic nature of the curse comes up on the lore forums every several months, and it’s always the same. Some people say it should, others say it shouldn’t. Some accept the CDev response, others - like myself - have lore to refute it.

  1. Curses Make Races
    “It is not hereditary, because it is just a curse” is the reason provided. That reason is not only unsuitable, but counter productive. In fact, many of the races we see in World of Warcraft originated from curses. A few prime examples include the Curse of Flesh, Curse of the Sporemounds, and the Curse of Sethe. Each afflicted select races, turning them into the races of today which produce offspring of their kind. I provide a much longer and detailed list in the post below from 2017.
    https://us.battle.net/forums/en/wow/topic/20754416049?page=1#post-6
Races born from Curses Magical Change

The Tauren, turning to Highmountain Tauren.
These Tauren were given magical change (Blessing or Curse, that is up to you to decide) by the Wild God Cenarius. This is a Magical Change, yet it can be passed to the offspring, and their spirits possess this trait as well. These Highmountain Tauren do not birth Mulgore Tauren, nor do Mulgore Tauren birth Yaungol.
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Highmountain_tauren
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Horns_of_Eche%27ro

The Titanforged Races (Earthen, Vrykul, Mechagnome, Tol’vir, Mogu, etc)
These Seeded Races were magically afflicted by what we call “The Curse/Blessing of Flesh”, being Shadow in Origin. The Humans etc, although cursed with this, do no birth non-“afflicted” offspring such as Stone Vrykul. The Dwarves do not birth Earthen, and the Gnomes do not birth Mechagnomes. Each of these races, when they die, have the souls of their race, not the souls of the race that came before them. The Curse of Flesh is exactly that; a curse.
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Curse_of_Flesh

From Azeroth Elementals, to Drakes, to Dragonflights.
It is known that before the dragons, there were the Proto-Drakes. These beasts are Elemental in origin, becoming as fleshy creatures. Ysera, for example, was once a Fire Drake. When she was a fire drake, she did not birth fire elementals. She birthed Fire Drakes. When she was Blessed (or cursed) by the Arcane effects of the Titans, she became as a Green Dragon. As such, her clutches were not Fire Drakes: they were Green Dragons. When dead, these Green Dragons are shown as the spirits of Green Dragons (as seen in the Nightmare raid), not Fire Drakes.
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Proto-dragon
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Dragon

The Draenor Breakers, turning into the Ogre and Orcs.
In Chronicle 2, we are shown the origin of the Ogres and the Orcs. Just like the Dragons, they were elemental in origin. However, they did not stay as such. Essentially, a curse (or blessing) was placed on them from the sporemounds (the Plantlife they fought) and they became as flesh. Obviously, the Orcs do not birth Ogre, the Ogre do not birth Ogron, and the Ogron do not birth elementals. Quite the opposite, in fact. Again, the souls of these dead races (as seen in Warlords of Draenor) are of their race.
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Orc
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Breakers

The Brown Orcs, turning into Fel (Green) Orcs.
Before the arrival of the Burning Legion on Draenor, the Orcs were not green. Instead, they were earthy tones such as greys, tans, and browns. When the curse (or blessing) provided by Mannoroth’s Blood was introduced to the race, they became green (among other side effects). This is not only passed on from a pair of Green Orcs to their children, but also otherwise effected Orcs to their children (as seen with Thrall and his parents). Green Orcs do not birth Tan Orcs and, again, these Green Orcs we see today have - you guessed it - the souls of Green Orcs. The Fel Curse is exactly that: A Curse.
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Mag%27har_orc
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Blood-curse

The Trolls, turning into Elves.
It was confirmed in Chronicle 1 that Kaldorei did indeed come from Trolls, who lived near to the Well of Eternity. With the effects of its Arcane power radiating to them, they eventually came to be the Kaldorei (and Queldorei) we see today, much different than their ancestors. Again, Kaldorei do not birth Troll children, nor do they have the souls of Trolls.
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Night_elf
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Troll
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Dark_troll

Elves turning into Naga.
The family tree doesn’t stop at Trolls, Kaldorei, and Queldorei. It continues even further, especially when the Highborn were cursed (or blessed) to become something else entirely: The Naga. These creatures were once elves, with elven souls and offspring. Now, as shown in Azshara, they lay Naga eggs, rather than birthing Elven offspring. The Naga Curse is exactly that: A Curse.
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Naga
http://www.wowhead.com/npc=38412/naga-hatchling

Elves turning into Fal’dorei.
Much like the Naga, some Nightborn (as an unexpected outcome of the Arcandor Tree) came to find themselves as Fal’dorei: Half spider, half elf. As seen in Falanaar, these creatures - even though they were once Nightborn - do not birth Nightborn Children. Instead, they lay eggs much like the Naga or Dragons, which hatch to become Fal’dorei.
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Fal%27dorei
http://wow.gamepedia.com/Fal%27dorei_Egg

In “Conclusion”, the Worgen

Worgen were once Human (or Kaldorei), but are now Worgen. Neither Man nor Beast. This occurred through a magical curse, turning them into something else than they were originally, much like all the examples above. This is described as a magical affliction (A Curse or a Blessing, depending on who you ask), just as all those above are. The fact of the matter is that “The Worgen Curse is exactly that: A Curse” means that, based on how such Curses work in the World of Warcraft, the Worgen Curse IS able to be passed to one’s young.
We have multiple sources referring to the Worgen Body as a Worgen’s True Form. This is supported in the Novel and both comics. The change is permanent, and cannot be removed. This is further supported by the fact that - just as the races above - dead Worgen do not appear with Human Souls: They appear with Worgen souls.

  1. Not just a druid form
    The worgen curse may have originated from druidic magics, but it is no longer a druid form. Cenarius himself says this in Curse of the Worgen issue 4. “This new form Malfurion
 Ralaar has perverted our ways. This form is beyond druidism. I do not believe that which has been done can be undone.”

  1. Worgen form is their new body
    Believe it or not, a worgen’s body is physically and genetically worgen, not a human in a druid form. In the game, Curse of the Worgen, and Dark Riders, worgen remain worgen when slain, whereas druids when slain return to elf form. This isn’t just a mechanic either; Jarod Shadowsong sees a worgen cut in half in the novel Wolfheart, and finds it curious that it did not return to human form when slain. In addition, we see several worgen spirits in both events like Day of the Dead and in instances such as Shadowfang Keep, meaning the worgen curse has turned even their soul into a worgen.

  1. Lil Bad Wolf

“The oft-forgotten offspring of the Big Bad Wolf, found gorged and asleep in a basket of sweets.”

My unpopular opinion is that World of Warcraft lore supports that worgen would produce worgen offspring. When it came to my character and his wife, we decided they would have human children, then give them the curse through bite or blood. But after months of thought and study, we decided to have them born as worgen children. One of the kids has survived the roleplay campaigns to this day, and I use the child worgen battlepet present in the game to this day. Ultimately it is your decision, though the bulk of the community believes the CDev response is the diehard truth.

Hi there! Thanks for your questions, here’s some bacon to enjoy while I answer. :bacon:

The Bloodfang Pack :paw_prints:

Yes, you can indeed roleplay as a worgen that is currently or formerly part of the Bloodfang Pack. The Bloodfang Pack began when Archmage Arugal summoned Alpha Prime and other Kaldorei-worgen into Silverpine forest. It grew in number in the shadows of Gilneas by initiating willing Gilneans, many of them criminals and former Northgate Rebels. The Bloodfang Pack now consists of both human-worgen and kaldorei-worgen, and while they were responsible for orchestrating the worgen attack on Gilneas, they have worked with the Alliance both in the Silverpine Forest questline and in recent days in Darkshore and Silverpine.

You could roleplay a Bloodfang Worgen in several different ways. You could play a Bloodfang Berserker type character, a primal fighter and powerful force against the Forsaken that has taken part in the conflict in Darkshore. Second, you could play the stealthier type Bloodfang, the likes of which used human form in Gilneas (see Curse of the Worgen issue 1) to sneak about the city unseen. In either cases, if you’re serious about the character and want to learn more, you can read Curse of the Worgen, do the horde Silverpine Forest questline, and examine the Shadowfang Keep dungeon.

The Moonrage Pack :crescent_moon:

In addition to the modern Bloodfang Pack, you could indeed roleplay as a former member of the Moonrage Pack you find in Pyrewood Village. They have been exterminated by the Forsaken, but even in exterminations there are some surviving stragglers (see Apothecary Berard / Berard the Moon-Crazed, and Lost Son of Arugal). However, a Moonrage Worgen would be played differently than a normal worgen, since they get their curse from the cursed “Pyrewood Shackles” they wear in their servitude to Archmage Arugal, which cause them to all become worgen at night, and human by day.

I also have to ask concerning the bloodfangs how is it that they are not mindless? Did they all go througj with the night elves ritual of balance when they joined up with Darius Crowley?

1 Like

Believe it or not, the Ritual of Balance is not required for all worgen. Many worgen once bitten not only retain full sanity, but can also use human form. The Ritual of Balance is for those who have been in a traumatic experience, and is a therapeutic ritual. For more on the Mindless State and who it does effect, you can read more on it here.

  • https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/wow/t/ask-me-about-worgen-lore-and-get-free-bacon/141963/55?u=raedolf-wyrmrest-accord

We know this thanks to Curse of the Worgen which shows all the Bloodfang as sane, the Grizzly Hills worgen who use human form at will without any help from elves, and the novel Wolfheart which - alongside Curse of the Worgen - depicts the Ritual of Balance for what it really is. Even Genn Greymane himself remains sane and in human form throughout the entire comic, without having once done the ritual. The comic also reveals Darius Crowley is sane, and has yet to do the ritual.

To recap, what you see in the Gilneas starter zone first appears to be an accidental epidemic. In reality, as we learn from Curse of the Worgen, the numerous Bloodfang were all completely sane, and expertly orchestrated the attack on Gilneas, with the intention of biting as many Gilneans as possible. However, whereas the Gilneans that had joined the Bloodfang’s “Wolf Cult” were given time and training before being bitten in a calm environment, those they bit in the attack were scared half to death and bitten without preparation.

Just wanted to say, while I can post on the forums currently, I love this thread and love seeing all the questions and answers!

2 Likes

Here is a question I have that I haven’t been able to find a direct answer for. Are Worgen connected to the Moon in any way? Like does a full moon affect them at all? Especially considering the moon is Elune and Worgen are connected to her in the sense that they were made from her powers in the Scythe of Elune.

The only thing I could really find about Worgen and full moons was that Genn and nobles of Gilneas would hunt Worgen during full moons. This could because they personally believed that’s when they came out, or maybe it gave them the best visibility to hunt the Worgen


2 Likes

I delayed answering a bit to do some research myself, just to make sure. There’s definitely a connection to Elune, but her phases have no visible effect on worgen in the game or other sources.

In a classic werewolf story, the moon and the werewolf curse are closely connected. The werewolf bite may not take effect until the next full moon, some werewolves only change on the full moon, and - in some - it is the full moon and the bloom of a Wolfsbane flower that creates a werewolf.

But as for the worgen, the worgen bite takes effect in a matter of a few hours (Mardigan, Dark Riders) to three days (Halford, CotW), the change occurs “when driven to anger”, and the first worgen were elves given the curse by Elune.

The one thing that I can find, regarding Goldrinn and the phases of the moon, is the Kaldorei legend that Goldrinn would spiral into furious bloodlust on the full moon. When Malfurion Stormrage and Tyrande were scolding Ralaar and Arvel on the use of Pack Form, they told the druids that Goldrinn hates Elune. Or, at least hates the way she looks on him with disappointment. They claimed that he was an angry beast to begin with, but when her light shone full and bright, it was as if she glared down upon him for his noble potential lost under his needless bloodshed.

Whether this story of Tyrande’s is true or not, I don’t know. Her bias is clear, no one had heard this story before, and it’s never backed up. But that is one solid example of “full moon = beast mode”. If you wanted a character that did the same, you could give them a similar personal relationship with Elune, or a strong connection to Goldrinn. Such a connection that does cause extra rage, as seen in Varian Wrynn in Wolfheart, though his anger was not dependent on the phases of the moon.

2 Likes

Nice! Thanks for the answer. I forgot about the part in the Curse of the Worgen comic. I really want to read that again


So one could say that while the full moon doesn’t directly force a change in Worgen, they could feel higher levels of rage which might cause them to change because of Goldrinn’s rage inside them and how he hates Elune.

Neither did I, til I read its wowpedia page, and that’s the reason bought it on kindle.

The Curse of the Worgen epilogue follows Velinde Starsong’s story, which was removed from the game itself in Cata. It retells the story in comic format, revealing how Arugal didn’t “go insane with grief” (he is seen kneeling pledging service to Alpha Prime), how the Scythe of Elune was uncovered from the crypt in Felwood, the origin of the Terrowolf pack in the area, and how the Sycthe got to Duskwood. So more of a prequel to Dark Riders, which is a prequel to Curse of the Worgen.
