Velinde Starsong Velinde Starsong was a priestess and sentinel in Ashenvale Forest who was given the task of clearing the forest of demons . At first , it seemed she had the situation in Ashenvale and Felwood under control , but little by little her efforts faltered . One day , she simply disappeared . Sentinel Melyria Frostshadow was sent to Ashenvale to continue her work . The Sentinels believed that she had her own reasons for leaving , and expected that she could return at any time . Velinde had done much in the past to earn their trust . Biography . Velinde ' s Cleansing . Frostshadow sent some scouts to investigate the disappearance of the Sentinel and found that Velinde had prayed to Elune for aid on her task . Elune is believed to have granted her wish and given her the magical Scythe of Elune , although it ' s unclear if it was truly Elune who gifted her with the Scythe . The weapon had the power to weaken the barriers of time and space . Holding the scythe in her hands , she received a vision of chaos . Wolf - men , the worgen , battled an incredible enemy . The worgen fought savagely , as fit their primitive race , but they faced an unflinching enemy : Lords of the Emerald Flame . It was then that Velinde realized the true power of the scythe . By focusing on it , she was able to communicate with the worgen . However , it was not speech she used to contact them . The worgen heard and understood her . By further channeling the energy of the scythe , the barriers weakened more , and she was able to draw the worgen back into Azeroth from the pocket dimension in the Emerald Dream they had been sent into long ago . She summoned a score and a half . The worgen followed her into battle and , with their brutish strength at her command , they tore into the demons of Felwood . The Worgen . In the beginning , all was well . She summoned larger numbers of the worgen to fight at her side and she marveled . Though they were of simple mind , they exhibited impressive ability to coordinate their attacks and function as a group . She identified the leaders in their packs and gave them command of small groups . She then organized her rescued warriors into multiple attack parties , sending them out into the tainted forest to fight the demons . She waited as her attack parties rampaged through the Felwood , slaughtering the demons in their path . Velinde waited until the appointed time for her soldiers to return came and went ; only a few did . She called and searched for the people Elune had entrusted to her . She found not a trace of those missing packs . She returned to her camp , her half - man servants enjoying the freedom Velinde had given them . She lifted her scythe to contact the worgen ’ s violent home world . There she could bring more to her cause . But though she had not summoned additional worgen , their numbers continued to increase . It was as though the scythe no longer required her intervention for the summoning process . She gathered as many of the packs as she could find , and ordered them to remain at the Shrine of Mel ' Thandris . Velinde hurried to search the libraries in Darnassus and consulted with Onu in Darkshore , but not one scrap of information about these worgen could she find . She heard whispers of a Kirin Tor wizard named Arugal , who was said to have also summoned worgen . Velinde decided to venture to the Eastern Kingdoms and find this wizard in hopes of learning from him . Unforeseen consequences . Velinde traveled to the port in Ratchet and booked passage to Booty Bay on the Black Osprey . From there she took a caravan to Duskwood and then she disappeared from history . It looks like she was summoned to the worgen world , or died . She still can talk by the scythe that was lost in a mine on Duskwood . Jitters picked up the weapon , triggering its effect of summoning . The mine was immediately filled with worgen , who then proceeded to rip the men apart . Jitters escaped with the weapon , but was hunted by the worgen across the woods , which were steadily darkening with the scythe ' s released curse . In an attempt to rid himself of their chase , Jitters disposed of the weapon near the Yorgen Farmstead , whereupon he encountered the Black Riders from Deadwind Pass . The riders slaughtered Sven Yorgen ' s family in front of Jitters ' eyes . The frightened man then escaped to Raven Hill . The darkness lingers in Duskwood , although it is unclear whether the Black Riders claimed the Scythe of Elune and took it with them back to Karazhan . Now the people huddle in former Grand Hamlet , renamed Darkshire , battling the undead and wolf men who inhabit the murky woods . The Scythe itself somehow made its way to Tal ' doren in Gilneas . Possible return and involvement in Gilneas worgen storyline ? With the announcement of the worgen as sixth Alliance race in " " expansion , it is possible that we will see Velinde , or someone who decided to further analyze the Worgen case , as night elves are shown on the expansion trailer and probably will play a big part in the inclusion of the worgen into the Alliance . However , this possibility seems less and less likely as she as not been seen in Cataclysm , Mists of Pandaria , or Warlords of Draenor , so far .
