Worgen were created by a priestess Starbreeze and druid Fangfire which backfired when they attacked back, starting the Worgen curse among the humans and the elves. The kingdom of Gilneas is where most civilized Worgen live today.
Once the Night elves taught the Gilneans how to control their curse, the Worgen joined the Alliance side. Contrary to popular belief and rumors, mating doesn’t produce Worgen children, only an offspring of their background races.
Worgen use the names they had before the curse, though sometimes they can even use a name with a more feral touch to it, to remind themselves of who and what they are. Some good examples are Bertrand, Deryk, and Arwin but also Wargal and Gutsnarl.

At first, the Worgen were feral creatures who couldn’t control themselves, though later they managed to find a way to stay composed enough to function properly in a more civilized manner. Most of them come from the kingdom of Gilneas, though there are many who wonder further away, especially after they all joined the War on the Alliance side. They are stealthy, strong, and agile, preferring to ambush their prey as their animalistic nature expects them to do. Those in control often stay in their human form, though any violent situation brings the wolf-like creature in them. Create a name that suits your character’s nature and explore the world ahead.
