-'''Velinde Starsong''' was a [[Sentinel]] in [[Ashenvale Forest]], given the task to clear the forest from the [[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. The [[priest]]ess had done much in the past to earn their trust.

-Later, a young hero found that Velinde had prayed to [[Elune]] for aid on her task to kill the demons. Elune is believed to have granted her wish and gave her the magical [[Scythe of Elune]]. Velinde vowed to avenge her fallen people with the scythe.  For many hours she examined the tool that the goddess granted her. She found that with it, the barriers of time and space were weakened.

-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: the Lords of the [[Burning Legion]].

-It was then 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 to [[Azeroth]]. 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.
-Lifting her eyes to the night sky, Velinde praised Elune for the mighty weapon. 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.
-A thought struck her mind and she threw the scythe to the forest floor. Fear filled her heart. She looked over the small horde she had saved from the Legion. These creatures were not as primitive as she had first believed. She vowed to never use the Scythe of Elune again, whether the rest of their race was lost to the Burning Legion or not. Fearful of another force entering Ashenvale, the land she wanted to keep for the Night Elves only, one perhaps more powerful than the Night Elves, she set out to find a way to stop the Worgen.
-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 the [[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.
-Velinde traveled to the port in [[Ratchet]] and booked passage to [[Booty Bay]]. From there she took a caravan to [[Duskwood]] and then she disappeared from history.  One could only speculate what happened to her. What can be said for certain is that she lost the scythe in a mine somewhere in Duskwood. It was recovered briefly by [[Jitters]], but he lost it just as quickly when the Worgen were summoned to Duskwood.
