Ruins of Gilneas

The Ruins of Gilneas is the name for the Gilneas zone after the events of the worgen starting experience. Horde players are sent here during Silverpine Forest storyline quests. Otherwise, players will find the zone entirely deserted except for a few animals wandering about, most likely due to quest phasing.

History
During the recent invasion of Gilneas, the denizens of long sealed off and tattered, cursed kingdom fought valiantly to repel the invading Forsaken armies, but casualites were heavy and the enemy even took the life of the prince and heir to the Gilnean throne, Liam Greymane. The majority of the population was forced to retreat to seek shelter in the night elven lands, while the Gilneas Liberation Front remained to continue fighting for freedom of their homeland. This region quickly became one of the main fronts in the ongoing war between the Alliance and Horde. The Gilneas Liberation Front and its 7th Legion allies clash with the Forsaken armies marching beyond the ruined Greymane Wall.

Geography
Gilneas is a peninsula, located on the continent of Lordaeron. It lies south of Silverpine Forest.
