The worgen were put to sleep in that portion of the Emerald Dream. To summarize, the forest was fine over nine thousand years ago. In fact, Gilneas as a whole is said to have become darker as the years went on, and even experienced a famine as crops began to fail. Glowing red pixie-like creatures fly around the forest, and the woods is shrouded in an eternal darkness. The physical body of Daral’nir is blackened, covered in black roots choking the forest with red thorns. Curse of the Worgen also reveals that the “Lords of the Emerald Flame” is another name for The Satyr.Īnd finally, in modern day, we see the Blackwald. When confronted by Belysra - his slain best friend’s lover - he describes how torturous it was to be in the Emerald Dream, and never wants to go back. Alpha Prime starts a cult in the shadows of Gilneas, turning willing Gilneans into worgen. Alpha Prime is summoned as well, and convinces Arugal to serve him instead of Greymane. Finally, he says never to attempt what he did, and absolutely never summon the worgen to our world.Ībout ten years ago, Archmage Arugal uses Ur’s research to summon the worgen.
He saw the worgen, and how fiercely they battled their mortal enemy the Lords of the Emerald Flame. One of which he described as a “nightmarish world of darkness”. When the archmage Ur studied shadowmagic in Dalaran not but a couple decades ago, he looked at shadowy dimensions. The Emerald Dream’s shadowy corruption began, aided by the fiendish Satyr. Unbeknownst to Malfurion, the Emerald Nightmare began to take form 4500 years ago, when Vordrassill’s roots (see above) reached into Yogg-Saron’s prison, allowing him to corrupt the dream through the tree’s connection. He said they were to sleep, at peace forever. He banished them to sleep forever under this tree in the Emerald Dream. Over nine thousand years ago, the first worgen created the curse to better fight the Satyr army, then rebelled against Malfurion Stormrage when he called them freaks. Tal’doren is the physical counterpart to “Daral’nir”, a great tree in the Emerald Dream known to calm enraged beings. The Blackwald is a forest in southern Gilneas, with the great tree Ta’doren at its center. The Blackwald is corrupt looking because… With that in mind, Wolfsbane may be void-powered.
Nature magic is also vulnerable to void energy, see Saronite. Plant life can be corrupted by void energy, see Vordrassil and Nightmare. But why wolfsbane, and why to worgen specifically? We’ve seen that it grows in the Grizzly Hills and Gilneas at least, both places steeped in void energy, and right on top or near to Old God prisons ( Yogg-Saron and Zakajz respectively). Wolfsbane is deadly to worgen, that much is canon. So most of the following are more like “theories” than headcanons, but without enough proof to be considered canon. I typically try to stay away from headcanons, and I end up finding the direction or hints I’m looking for in lore itself.
