Judging by the NPCs' attitudes towards Celestine and druidry in general, and by Celestine's own words: "We were driven to the edge of extinction once before, <Name>. But we druids, keepers of the old ways, saved our people from famine", it can be inferred that the Gilnean druids were probably heavily oppressed, possibly during the time that the teachings of the Light and the Church came to Gilneas.
Reminiscent of the Christianization of pre-Christian Europe, at a time when most of the European cultures were pagan and practiced druidry and nature-worship.
Except in this place, the roles are reversed!

Description
Most of us made it here alive... but there are worgen on this side of the city as well. We're going to continue heading south once everyone's accounted for. That reminds me, someone was asking about you. It was that harvest-witch, Celestine; she said the winds spoke your name. You'd best hurry, {name}. We're going to need you to get back to the worgen-smashing once you're done conversing with nature.
