Far from the mysterious object it appeared to be throughout vanilla World of Warcraft, the Scythe was actually constructed for a specific purpose, though the results of its construction were a horrifying disaster. The Scythe of Elune would not be seen again in anyone"s hands for thousands of years, presumably stowed away somewhere for safekeeping.
As for the worgen, they continued their existence in the Emerald Dream to which they were banished. But this was not the end of the worgen; though they dreamed the dream of the wild, they always sought a way to escape.

Malfurion had done what he thought best for all considered -- the tree Daral"nir would supposedly keep the worgen at rest. Yet how, exactly, did Malfurion know of the tree"s existence?
