Worgens are coming, they're pretty cool looking, and they had a lot of ideas for Alliance races. Since the time of Warcraft 3, Gilneas closed the Greymane wall to keep the plague away from them. They got pretty edgy when the scourge got close so a Dalaran wizard named Arugal was a patriot of Gilneas who summoned creatures that would fight the scourge from them. He summoned something as dangerous the scourge which were the worgen.
Are Worgens from somewhere or someWHEN else was mentioned.

There is a state of natural upheaval coming and new stress between the Alliance and Horde. He lured the people up north, screwed with their heads, and the people were pressed to the edge of their seats to defeat The Lich King. He will get what's coming to him, but people will leave a little bit of themselves up north still. The soldiers coming home will find the world isn't what it was when they come home. There are dark days coming ahead, but that shows heroism and brotherhood and fighting the good fight. The drama is going to be ramped up.
