Wolfcult (Stormwind)

The Wolfcult was the network of rogue mages that gained power in Elwynn Forest and Brightwood after the War for Stormwind's Independence had settled. Their attacks on villages and farms prompted King Adam Wrynn to found the Stormwind Circle of Magi to combat them and serve as the Kingdom of Azeroth's defense against arcane threats. It was found that the cult played a direct role in the assassination of King Thomas Wrynn I, with Queen Mary and her father, Uldrich Brightwood, as co-conspirators. The cult was largely defeated during the reign of King Samson Wrynn, so much that it dissolved into separate groups of hedge-magi at the end of his reign.
