The worgen of Gilneas have lost their homeland and want to join the Alliance, and Varian Wrynn has to decide whether to trust Genn Greymane, the king who walled his country off from everyone. As the Alliance's leaders gather in Darnassus, the night elves are fighting a Horde that's pressing harder into Ashenvale.
What this adds if you've played the games
Varian gets his best showing outside the comics here, and Genn Greymane, Anduin and Tyrande come into focus too. You get the politics behind the worgen joining the Alliance and the fighting in Ashenvale that Cataclysm's quests show only in pieces. Knaak overdoes the action and the mystery is slight. Best read after Cataclysm's worgen starting zone.
