| − | '''Gilneas''' (pronounced Gil-NEIGH-uhs) is a [[human nation]] and [[kingdom]]<ref name="LoC 97">''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', 97</ref> located in the peninsula south-west of [[Silverpine Forest]] on the continent of [[Lordaeron (continent) |Lordaeron]]. The kingdom was founded following the splitting of [[Arathor]] and is ruled by the [[House of Greymane]]. Besides the peninsula, the kingdom also included the island of [[Zul'Dare]], and formerly held lands in Silverpine Forest including [[Pyrewood Village]] and [[Ambermill]].<ref name="lohp">[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/genngreymane.html Lord of His Pack]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gilneas is a large peninsula that juts into the sea south of western Lordaeron. Silverpine Forest lies to the north-east and [[Kul Tiras]] awaits across the sea to the south. Lord Genn Greymane never ardently supported the Lordaeron Alliance in the Second War. Thus, after the war, he constructed the Greymane Wall: a massive barrier spanning the entire northern border. The enormous wall barricades Gilneas from Lordaeron. For around two decades<ref>Infered from [[Timeline (from official site, 2007)|timeline from official site, 2007]][http://web.archive.org/web/20070116010622/http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/timeline.html]</ref> Gilneas had not allowed anyone in or out, and no one knew what has been transpiring there since the end of the Second War.<ref name="LoC 96">''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', 96</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | It was later found that the '[[Worgen]] Curse' has swept mercilessly across the nation, eventually turning nearly all of its inhabitants into savage beasts. Escalating tensions among the survivors escalated into bloody [[Northgate rebellion|civil war]] that all but wrecked the whole nation. Following the ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm|Cataclysm]]'' and an [[Invasion of Gilneas|invasion]] by the [[Forsaken]], some of these [[Worgen (playable)|Gilnean worgen]] have regained their freewill. After Gilneas fell to enemy hands, Gilneas rejoined the [[Alliance]].<ref name="cataclysm">http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/worgen.html</ref> |

| − | ==History== |
||
| − | [[File:Sinttulo2pu.jpg|thumb|The gilneas kingdom prior to the building of the greymane wall.]] |
||
| − | [[File:Gilneas flag.jpg|thumb|The Gilnean flag.]] |
||
| − | Following their victory in [[Troll Wars|their war against the trolls]], the empire of [[Arathor]] entered into a period of prosperity and growth. After the death of King [[Thoradin]] the empire began to expand, founding new city states in the wilderness - including Gilneas. Each city grew and prospered, Gilneas and [[Alterac]] developed strong armies which explored the world. Over time the power of Gilneas and the other city states grew as that of [[Strom]] waned, eventually they developed their own customs and beliefs and the empire splintered into [[Seven Kingdoms|independent kingdoms]].<ref>{{elink|type=wowus|link=http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/story/chapter2.html#16|desc=Chapter II: The New World - The Seven Kingdoms}}</ref> Under the rule of [[Archibald Greymane|King Archibald]], Gilneas prospered even further eventually rivaling the kingdoms of [[Stormwind]] and [[Lordaeron]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | By the start of the [[Second War]] Gilneas was one of the most powerful human nations, and because of this, the kingdom's ruler, [[Genn Greymane]], was not a strong supporter of the [[Alliance of Lordaeron|Alliance]], believing that his own armies would be more than enough to deal with any threat. Despite this, Gilneas was not neutral towards the [[Horde]], and did join the Alliance late in the Second War, although Lord Greymane constantly argued against its existence from beginning to end. He never actually supported the Lordaeron Alliance in the Second War.<ref name="LoC 96" /> Shortly after the Horde was defeated, Greymane pulled his nation's "support" from the Alliance, refusing to spend his nation's resources on keeping the orcs alive in internment camps or in rebuilding other nations devastated by the war. Greymane's isolationism may have been influenced by [[Deathwing|Daval Prestor]], secretly the black dragon [[Deathwing]] in [[human]] form, who Greymane had supported to the throne of [[Alterac]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===The Greymane Wall and the Third War=== |
||
| − | Some time after the Second War, Greymane constructed the [[Greymane Wall]] — an enormous stone barrier that now separates Gilneas from Lordaeron.<ref name="WoWRPG 20">''[[World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game]]'', 20</ref> Attempting to forever remove his nation from what he considered "other people's troubles", he barricaded the majority of Gilneas behind the Wall. No one, not even other humans were allowed to enter Gilneas. The lands of [[Lord Darius Crowley]] including Pyrewood and Ambermill were notably separated from their liege and nation by the Wall,<ref name="lohp">[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/genngreymane.html Lord of His Pack]</ref> effectively ceded to [[Lordaeron (kingdom)|Lordaeron]]. The Greymane Wall even remained closed to human refugees begging to be allowed in during and after the [[Scourge|Scourge's]] invasion of Lordaeron. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The Scourge maintained a heavy presence in Silverpine until the Alliance, under [[Garithos|Grand Marshal Garithos]], claimed several key victories in and around Dalaran, and the [[Forsaken]] emerged from the Scourge’s shattering in [[Civil War in the Plaguelands|civil war]]. Yet at the peak of their strength, the Scourge relentlessly assaulted the Greymane Wall and threatened to devour all Gilneas. King Greymane’s armies marched out to meet the undead hordes, but were decimated.<ref name="lohp">[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/genngreymane.html Lord of His Pack]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | In a desperate attempt to hold the seemingly-unstoppable Scourge at bay, Greymane ordered his court archmage, [[Arugal]], to unleash a 'secret weapon' against the Scourge — the [[worgen]], who had been contained for millennia in the [[Emerald Dream]]. Unfortunately, after attacking the Scourge, the worgen turned on the Gilnean soldiers, infecting them with [[Worgen|their Curse]],<ref>[[Curse of the Worgen Issue 5]], pg. 29</ref> and began attacking other humans living in [[Silverpine Forest]]. Before long the affliction had advanced through the legendary barrier and was gradually eating away at Gilneas’ humanity. As reports of strange attacks and disappearances rose, fear took root in the hearts of Genn’s people. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gilneas was shielded from the rest of the world, by the Greymane Wall by land and by its high cliffs and treacherous reefs by sea.<ref>[[Quest:Kill or Be Killed]]</ref> Refugees and other nations long entreated Gilneas for aid, but these unfortunates never so much as saw a Gilnean. Many became easy prey for the [[worgen]] that occasionally strayed south from [[Shadowfang Keep]]. For many years King Greymane forbade any attempt to leave the self-isolated, and all ports were closed, leaving sailors and people of other nations stranded in Gilneas (such as [[Tobias Mistmantle]], and the pirates of [[the Brashtide Crew]]).<ref>[[Quest:An Old Sea Dog]]</ref><ref>Quote by [[Enormous Shawn Stooker]]: “We used to roam the seas... 'til that damned King Greymane shut down the harbors in Gilneas! If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be...”</ref> Gilneans that were themselves locked out of their homeland were a rare sight, but not unknown (such as [[Baron Longshore]], captain of the pirate ship “Heedless”).<ref>[[Quest:WANTED: Baron Longshore]]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | While Greymane's efforts to stem the tide of the Scourge kept Gilneas from the grasp of the undead, the Greymane Wall inadvertently subjected the Gilneans to a dark fate all the same. Many fell under the worgen curse, as it did with their neighbors to the north in [[Silverpine Forest|Silverpine]] before them. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A small group of soldiers known as the [[Gilneas Brigade]] joined the [[Human Expedition]] led by [[Jaina Proudmoore]] during the [[Third War]], but these were actually sent by [[Darius Crowley|Lord Crowley]] as an act of defiance against Genn. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Civil War=== |
||
| − | {{Main|Northgate rebellion}} |
||
| − | Although once a close friend of Genn Greymane, his staunch isolationism led [[Darius Crowley|Lord Darius Crowley]] to eventually take up arms against his king. Leading his armed supporters into Gilneas City in an attempt to depose King Genn,<ref name="lohp">[http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/cataclysm/features/genngreymane.html Lord of His Pack]</ref> a bloody civil war erupted between the two factions, pitting Gilnean against Gilnean, brother against sister. The so-called ‘[[Northgate rebellion]]’ officially ended when Crowley and his leading allies was captured by Greymane's forces, although rebels and their sympathisers continued to hoard weapons and supplies around Gilneas. Political divisions had into a deep and bitter hatred between ‘rebels’ and ‘royals’,<ref>[[Quest:Old Divisions]]</ref><ref>[[Quest: Brothers in Arms]]</ref> something that has only just begun to heal with the Gilneans’ focus shifting to their common enemies.<ref>[[Quest:Return to Stormglen]]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===The Cataclysm=== |
||
| − | Unbeknownst to many of the kingdom’s citizens, a war between beast and man raged within the worgen themselves.<ref>{{elink|type=wowus|link=http://us.battle.net/wow/en/game/race/worgen}}</ref> To compound the [[worgen]] threat, the [[Forsaken]] started battering at the nation’s gates in a bid to conquer Gilneas. Under orders from [[Garrosh Hellscream]], now Warchief of the [[Horde]], [[Sylvanas Windrunner]] was commanded to conquer the lands of Gilneas to secure resources<ref>[[Battle for Gilneas]] battleground description</ref> and its safe ports. Sylvanas had her own objective – the retrieval of the [[Scythe of Elune]], an artifact capable of summoning complacent worgen that could spread their curse to all humanity.<ref>[[Quest:At Our Doorstep]]</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | Due to the [[Gilnean Wolfcult|efforts]] of the ancient ‘Alpha Prime’ of the worgen, [[Ralaar Fangfire]], the worgen epidemic grew with fervor. Ultimately his [[Bloodfang pack]] of wild worgen launched a massive attack on [[Gilneas City]], overrunning the kingdom’s capital. Crowley and his Northgate Rebels were released from [[Stoneward Prison]] by Greymane’s edict<ref>[[Quest:Old Divisions]]</ref> and quickly agreed to give aid to King Genn, who had ordered the evacuation of Gilneas City to [[Duskhaven]]. In order to divert the worgen's attention from the fleeing citizens, Crowley led a group of Gilneans to stand against them at [[Light's Dawn Cathedral]]. Crowley and his followers were overwhelmed, and became worgen themselves. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Only with the aid of a night elf priestess [[Belrysa]], a secret counsellor of Greymane, were the cursed Gilneans shown a way to retain control of their human minds once transformed into worgen. [[Bloodfang pack|Many]], however, remained feral and under the sway of [[Ralaar Fangfire|Alpha Prime]], an ally of Sylvanas, until his death at Tal’doren. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Finding a short-lived refuge in Duskhaven, [[Krennan Aranas]], Greymane’s court alchemist, managed to restore temporary sanity to a number of captured feral worgen. The Gilneans’ respite was to be short-lived, as the [[Cataclysm]] destroyed some of the jagged reefs that protected Gilneas from sea and breached the famed [[Greymane Wall]] itself, allowing the [[Forsaken]] to pour into Gilneas by land from Silverpine as well as land at [[Duskmist Shore]]. As the [[Invasion of Gilneas|Forsaken invasion]] progressed, the whole south-west of Gilneas began collapsing into the sea, destroying Duskhaven. Gilnean survivors fled to abandoned [[Stormglen Village]] as Greymane and [[Lord Godfrey]] travelled to Tal'doren to ask Darius Crowley and other worgen healed by the Night Elves to help unite Gilneas against the Forsaken. Due to Lord Godfrey's tyrannical command, Crowley was hesitant to accept. Greymane told Crowley that he is asking him as a friend and not as a king, and after revealing that he too had succumbed to the worgen curse, they agreed to join forces. Though the Gilneans, worgen and human alike, led a valiant attempt at driving off the Forsaken by reclaiming occupied Gilneas City, Horde reinforcements and the use of the Forsaken’s [[Forsaken Blight|Blight]] would soon overwhelm them. With his son [[Liam Greymane|Liam]] killed by Sylvanas herself, Genn decided to seek sanctuary in [[Darnassus]] and one day return to reclaim Gilneas. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Driven by their curse and the threat of the [[Forsaken]], Gilneas was finally driven back into the [[Alliance]]'s fold, owing a great debt to the Night Elves who helped heal the minds of many who fell victim to the worgen curse.<ref>Quote by Genn Greymane to Tyrande Whisperwind after [[quest:The Howling Oak]]: “Not at all, priestess. We are very grateful for all that you've offered us here.”</ref> Lord Crowley and his loyal worgen; the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]], have renewed the war against the Forsaken, advancing as far as northern [[Silverpine Forest]]. With the aid of a [[gnomish submarine]] used to break the Horde’s blockade of Gilneas,<ref>[[ Quest:What Tomorrow Brings]]</ref> the elite [[7th Legion]] spearheaded a vast Alliance offensive to reclaim all of Lordaeron from the Forsaken, starting with Gilneas<ref>[[Orders from High Command]], from [[quest:On Whose Orders?]]</ref> The combined forces of the Alliance (including Gilnean and now-allied [[Bloodfang]] worgen) quickly bested the Forsaken occupiers of Gilneas City, eventually pushing them past the Greymane Wall. |
||
| − | |||
| − | However, the Horde managed to rally in Silverpine, holding back the [[7th Legion]] and enabling the Forsaken to resurrect [[Lord Godfrey]] as one of their own, a fact that none of the Gilneans were aware of. [[Sylvanas Windrunner]]’s use of the [[val'kyr]] to resurrect fallen humans as allies forced the Alliance to rely on soldiers of other races.<ref>[[Quest:Lessons in Fear]]</ref> Crowley later surrendered to Sylvanas after she took [[Lorna Crowley|his daughter]] hostage, threatening her with [[undeath]]. This signaled an end to the Alliance offensive in Silverpine, although the Bloodfang Pack expanded their activities into the [[Hillsbrad Foothills]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Meanwhile Lord Godfrey rebelled against Sylvanas and killed her (although she was quickly resurrected) and took over [[Shadowfang Keep]] as an independent power. Sylvanas returned to [[Undercity]] to recover. The [[Alliance]] retains their foothold over Gilneas but is constantly under assault by the Horde as the [[Battle for Gilneas]] rages on. |

||
| − | The Greymane Wall, in the south of Silverpine Forest, has been in the game since release, but Gilneas itself remained a closed zone. With the ''Cataclysm'' expansion, Gilneas was finally opened to players as the heavily-phased level 1-12 [[starting area]] of the new playable [[Worgen (playable)|worgen]] race. Players enter the story as a human. The level 1-5 quests take place a year before the Cataclysm, and will teach them how the worgen curse came to be, how the humans of Gilneas came to be affected by it and lastly with the player him/herself being infected with the worgen curse.<ref>http://www.joystiq.com/2009/09/04/blizzard-interview-j-allen-brack-on-world-of-warcraft/</ref> After a cutscene, players will be in worgen form and the game time skips to just before the Cataclysm. For the remainder of the starting experience, players will experience the dual threats of the effects of the Shattering upon Gilneas and the Forsaken siege. An offer of aid from a [[night elves|night elven]] [[druid]]ic sect brings Gilneas into the [[Alliance]], which serves as a counterpart to the introduction of the [[Horde]]-allied [[Goblin (playable)|Goblins]] of [[Kezan]]. In-game, Gilneas appears to be a dreary and rainy territory, reflecting the cursed nation itself. The Greymane Wall received a graphical update to match the new style of Gilneas (a Victorian style). |
||
| + | Since the Cataclysm, she has relocated to a cave near the [[Altar of Storms]]. She no longer offers quests to Alliance adventurers, even though she remains friendly to them. |
||
| − | It must also be mentioned that, much like when [[Quel'Thalas]] was introduced in ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]]'', the Peninsula of Gilneas has a considerably different landmass than it does on pre-''Cataclysm'' maps. Prior to the Cataclysm Gilneas appeared as a small, thin peninsula roughly the same size and shape as Silverpine Forest to the north. After the Cataclysm the Gilnean peninsula appears slightly shorter but significantly wider (even accounting for the land that sinks into the ocean during the Worgen starting experience). |
||

Because of its nearness, [[Zul'Dare]] is considered part of Gilneas. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Gilneas is a cold, rainy place, mainly because The [[Great Sea]] surrounds the peninsula on three sides, making sea storms common. High cliffs on the shores protect Gilneas from sailors’ curious eyes. The Greymane Wall is the only evident site in Gilneas.<ref name="LoC 97" /><ref name="LoC 96" /> |

| − | The [[worgen]] curse that started from Shadowfang Keep and swept across Gilneas left its people irrevocably transformed. Almost the entire human population has been turned to the beastly [[worgen]], a humbling failure for Genn Greymane in his efforts to keep his people safe. The reaction of the people to this change will likely be greatly varied, and has yet to be revealed. Preliminary dialogue from [[Cataclysm]] has revealed that Gilnean mages and healers went to great strides to fight the affliction. |

As ruler of one of the strongest human nations, Genn Greymane is convinced that his own armies can deal with any threat, and has therefore remained unmoved by Lord Lothar's pleas for unity. Despite this apparent disdain for the Alliance, the denizens of Gilneas harbor no fondness for the orcs or their allies and are prepared to meet them blade for blade.<ref>''[[Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness|Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness manual]]'', 43</ref>'' |

||
| − | *It is said that at one time the kingdom of Gilneas had land only at the tip of the peninsula that bears its name<ref>''[[Day of the Dragon]]'', 5</ref> (however, its said elsewhere that Genn Greymane owned the entire peninsula even back then).<ref name="WoWRPG 20" /><ref>''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', 158</ref> |
||
| − | *The [[ruins of Gilneas]] were added as an accessable zone in [[patch 4.0.3a]], two weeks before the release of ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''; it will be what remains of Gilneas after the worgen starting area (similar to the [[Ruins of the Scarlet Enclave]] in [[Eastern Plaguelands]]). Prior to patch 4.0.3a, on the other side of the Greymane Wall there was only a small, flat area, bordered by the ocean. This is the only brand new zone that can be accessed without first having ''Cataclysm''. Horde players questing in nearby [[Silverpine Forest]] will have a small quest chain that involves venturing through the ruins. |
||
| − | *If you get a view of the inner side of the wall you may see that the inner gate is broken down from the inside. |
||
| − | *Before the announcement of the [[draenei]] as the Alliance race in ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]]'', there was speculation that the worgen and Gilneas would enter the game at this stage. The rumour again came out in July 2009 with the revelation of worgen [[Hallow's End]] masks. It was finally confirmed at [[BlizzCon 2009]]. |
||
| − | *In response to a question at [[BlizzCon]], [[Metzen]] mentioned that they had "forgotten" about Gilneas. Later, in an interview at 2009 New York Comic Con, he mentioned that Blizzard has some "very, very, very interesting plans for Gilneas", but he would not reveal any further details.<ref>http://www.blizzplanet.com/blog/comments/chris_metzen_micky_neilson_pocket_star_books_lore_qa_video_interview</ref> It was revealed to be that the Gilneans had turned into worgen and have now joined the Alliance.<ref name="cataclysm" /> |
||
| − | *After [[Patch 3.1.0]], the loading screen/ship route from [[Menethil Harbor|Menethil]] to [[Theramore]] no longer crosses Gilneas. |
||
| − | *A coin fished from Dalaran's fountain called [[Genn's Copper Coin]] reads "Pah, the fountains in Gilneas could grant ten times as many wishes as Dalaran's!" However, not a single fountain is found in Gilneas in-game. |
||
| − | *[[Gilneas Sparkling Water]] can be purchased in the [[Old Hillsbrad Foothills]] section of the [[Caverns of Time]] instance. This water replaces [[Purified Draenic Water]], which wouldn't have been found on [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] at the time the instance takes place. |
||
| − | *The [[:File:Gilneas brand.png|tents in Warcraft III]] have the same symbol that [[:File:Gineas.jpg|banner of Gilneas from Warcraft II]] had. |
||
| − | *Gilneans' clothes appear to be Victorian in style. This, combined with the cold, gloomy and rainy atmosphere of Gilneas, would appear to indicate that Gilneas is based on nineteenth century England. Some Gilnean buildings, such as [[Greymane Manor]] and in [[Greymane City]], have "onion domes" on them, possibly indicating a Russian influence in elements of their architecture. |

Quotes
While my brother, Drazial, focuses his analysis on the more physical nature of the beasts of the blasted lands, I tend to focus on the more cerebral and spiritual aspects of the wildlife.
It is true that the beasts exhibit extremely unusual strength, agility, and stamina, but some of them also possess great intelligence and regenerative abilities, untied to their physical being.
Perhaps you would be interested in helping advance my research, <race>?
- In Cataclysm
Blood magic is shunned by many as a dark and forgotten art. In that and many other ways, it shares some distinct characteristics with demonic magic. Here, in the demon-scourged remains of the Black Morass, we believe that our blood studies will flourish.
- Very well. Stand back... this may get messy.
- The blood ritual is complete... and I can now see where Loramus Thalipedes awaits you.
- Quickly, <Name>! We haven't much time before Razelikh makes his return.
Patches and hotfixes
- Patch 4.0.3a (2010-11-23): Moved to a cave near the Altar of Storms.
