Independant

The **House of Ashbury** is a long lived noble house within the Gilnean Peerage that had been known to serve the Kingdom of Gilneas faithfully, primarily the House of Greymane. A wide spread family, Ashburys have been seen serving throughout Gilnean history within the Royal Guard, the Gilneas City Guard and the Gilnean Military. As spoken by Archibald Greymane, the Ashburys were one of the most loyal vassal houses to the House of Greymane and it was a common saying of his "Always trust an Ashbury" that later passed to his son, Genn. The house was known to hold a large amount of land along the Duskmist Shore in Southern Gilneas within the Crown Lands of the Dusk and made their seat within a large manor off the coast.

It was not until the Invasion of Gilneas that the House attempted to betray the House of Greymane in order to ward off the Forsaken from advancing alonside the House of Godfrey and House of Walden. Upon their plans being foiled, the last known lord, Baron Ashbury, was known to have been slain by the King's liberators. It was known that Baron Ashbury's betrayal hit the king quite hard, as he had been raised alongside the baron in his youth and was seen as one of his most trusted friends. Though he was later raised as an undead under the Forsaken, whom he too later betrayed, he was slain. Accounts vary whether or not it was the Bloodfang Pack that slew him, or the forces of the Forsaken. It is unknown if Baron Ashbury had any next-of-kin or heirs, as the house was rather extensive, though it is possible the family was disenfranchised due to high treason. With Duskmist Shore's destruction, their title has been completely abolished, leaving the family landless regardless of removal from peerage.
Keel Harbor

**Affiliation**
 **Status**

**Keel Harbor** is a Gilnean harbor town located in the region of the Headlands of Gilneas. It was built along the coast of the Northgate River. It has a history of shipbuilding and fishing, and is known to have been home to many rebel sympathizers back during the Northgate Rebellion. Keel Harbor was used as the exodus point from which the Gilneans fled their home, and was not razed to the ground like most of the towns in the Headlands. It was last seen being manned by members of the 7th Legion. The lands are now considered crown land in that they are ruled directly by the House of Greymane.

The harbor is well known for it's strong naval presence, it once being a notable navy port and the homeport of the Headlands Corsairs as well as the residence for large naval families such as the Daggerfang Family and the Nash Family.
High Admiral of Gilneas

The **High Admiral of Gilneas** is a defunct position that existed only within the Kingdom of Gilneas. The High Admiral acted as the leader of the Gilnean Navy and was typically also the Admiral of the Duskmist Fleet, also known as the King's Boys.

The position was last held by Sir Bashel Walden until his death several years before the Invasion of Gilneas due to illness. The title acted merely as a formality until Sir Walden's death, as the navy was dismantled following the Second War by King Genn Greymane with the closing of the Gilnean borders and the erection of the Greymane Wall. Following the High Admiral's death, the king retired the position.

It is unknown if the position will be restored, given the re-opened borders of Gilneas, when the kingdom is restored. As it stands, the rank is defunct. Despite this, Duke Berenal Grayblade has put forward suggestion that Admiral Ambrose Hays be promoted, if the title was made active again, due to his extensive service and recent successes that have brought two major island colonies into the fold of Gilneas. Given that Admiral Hays currently commands the largest and most well developed fleet in the navy at the time, the accreditation of two successful island subjugations, and the continued expansion of the Ashen Armada, it is a high likelihood that, if the title was made active again, it would be bestowed to him.

## Known High Admirals of Gilneas

* High Admiral Boris Keel (1112 F.A. - 1116 F.A.)
* High Admiral Sir Bashel Walden (Unknown - c. 1136 F.A.)
House of Cloverfield

The **House of Cloverfield** was a relatively minor Gilnean noble house that originated from the Headlands of the Kingdom of Gilneas. The house made it's home on the island of Beau's Tooth and remained relatively obscure for most of its history. The family was known to have a distant blood relation to the House of Grayblade.

The Cloverfields mostly served as maintainers of the nearby Galewatch Lighthouse as well as monitoring in coming and leaving ships from Gilneas' western ports.

In its prime, the island had two combat capable ships that were kept on stand by in case of wandering pirates or smugglers, and the tower it's self served as a defensive fortification as well as the home to the Cloverfields as it contained several cannons within. Aside from the keep and its large tower, the island was relatively empty, being extremely small and unable to host much. Regardless, the island did have a small port and a few fishermen made their home on the island by way of small cabins by the coast.

Following the supposed destruction of House Grayblade by the Seventh Skull Legion, House Cloverfield was elevated to a higher position, being put in charge of most of the Grayblades lands following their demise, having won over the other vying house, the House of Darkoak which had lost due to the blood ties the Cloverfields held with the Grayblades. Unfortunately, the family was mysteriously killed shortly after their appointment as Marcher Lords of the Bite, and the title was passed on to House Darkoak.

With the Cloverfields dead, Beau's Tooth was left abandoned aside from its fisherman populace. The keep had been looted by an unknown party, and the island faded once more into obscurity. It was not until a large storm rocked the coasts of Gilneas that Beau's Tooth saw the end of the abandoned keep, as the poorly maintained structure was destroyed by near unnaturally high waves and gusting winds.

The Island was left alone throughout the remaining years until the Gilnean re-establishment order, the Blades of Greymane, came into the area to revitalize and restore the Headlands. Restored as a side project by Lord Berenal Grayblade, the keep tower was rebuilt with more sturdy craftsmanship. It was later gifted to Lord Cedrec Delcarn for his service to the Blades along with the title of Baronet.
House of Greymane

File:Gilneassecondwarflag.jpg
The **House of Greymane** is the current reigning house of the Kingdom of Gilneas, holding the position of monarch in the kingdom. The House of Greymane is currently run by King of Gilneas, Genn Greymane, who has reigned over the kingdom for several decades since the death of Archibald Greymane. The house traces its lineage back to the first king of Gilneas, Aderic I and claims legitimacy through this. The House of Greymane's line has ruled Gilneas for hundreds of years since 87 F.A. after Aderic II's victory over his brother Sammith Silverlaine, and has seen Gilneas through all of it's hardships since.

The Greymane Wall is named for the family.

Fourth War
 **War Flag**
 **Status**

The **Gilnean Army** is the Kingdom of Gilneas's primary land force. The Army is led by a collection of officers and members of the Gilnean Peerage. Traditionally, the Gilnean Army was both ceremonially and practically led by the King of Gilneas and still is to certain extents, though much of the load has been transitioned to it's leaders and the Alliance High Command following Gilneas' readministration into the Alliance.

The Gilnean Army, along with it's maritime counterpart, the Gilnean Navy has seen long service to the Kingdom including service in the Second War and more recently, the Fourth War, continuing on into the War against the Iron Horde.

Over time, the Gilnean Army accumulated many barracks and garrisons which housed personnel, armaments and necessary facilities. Since 172 F.A., the Gilnean Central Barracks in Gilneas City has acted as the Army's ceremonial and tactical main base of operations. While housing several of the largest regiments, the Central Barracks have also been the base for the Gilnean Ceremonial Guard and a few militias.

## History

The Gilnean Army was established shortly after the beginning of the Kingdom of Gilneas. It began as the remnants of Aderic's forces, fused together into a single, more consitutionalised army. While over time, various arms and units within the Army splits off for town militias and nobility house protection, much of the original army still remains.

## Command

The Army is led by the ruling King or Queen of Gilneas as it's Commander-In-Chief, with a High Commander taking an active leadership of the army. While there may sometimes be more than one High Commander, it is usually the senior-most of the rank appointed to the role as Commander of the Gilnean Army, with the others leading large units or regiments within the Army. However, since the Army's dramatic plumet in numbers and strength, few of these High Commanders remain, and so much of the command is simply split among Commanders instead.

The Monarchy of Gilneas, who also commands the Gilnean Navy and other military aspects of the Kingdom. An Army Commander also aid in the operation of the army and militias alongside the King and act as his primary advisers in the military field. Many of these advisers hold the High Commander or Commander rank.

Однажды в одном из лесов появляется некая манулиха по имени Сероуска вместе со своей стаей злобных манулов. Она поселяется в овраге, над холмами, и объявляет по всему лесу, что отныне этот лес принадлежит только им, и больше никому, а тех, кто посягнет на их землю, будет разорван в клочья ее собственными когтями. Племена, проживающие в том лесу, решили убраться куда подальше от злобного племени манулов.

Blackwald

File:BlackwaldPhoto1.jpg
The **Blackwald** is a large, expansive region within southern Gilneas which is vastly populated by giant vine-like trees and eerie covered hollows. The woods are famous for being heavily populated with worgen and ghostly beings as well as the Tal'Doren, the Wild Home.

The Blackwald for a long time played as a major home for the Druids of the Scythe, before their imprisonment. The Druids of the Scythe were a band of druids who worshiped the qualities of Goldrinn and focused on his rage, developing what would become the worgen. The Blackwald also acted as the location for the Balancing Rituals in which many of the afflicted Gilnean population were somewhat cured of the worgen curse before the later evacuation of the Kingdom of Gilneas.

The current status of the Blackwald is largely unknown and is presumed to be vastly empty following the end of the Invasion of Gilneas. **((Anything fanon may go here!))**
Gilnean Exodus

The **Gilnean Exodus** was the mass emigration from the broken peninsula of Gilneas to the Second World Tree of Teldrassil following the end of the Invasion of Gilneas. While much of the Gilnean population had fell in battle or to chaos by their Affliction, a large portion of survivors successfully fled.

Although many of the civilians left with the Night Elves, large portions also opted to stay with High Commander Darius Crowley, who shortly after created the Gilnean Liberation Front which would fight for Gilneas while the general populace were out of harms way.
The Headlands

**The Headlands** is a large section of land located in the western reaches of the Kingdom of Gilneas.

## History

In the early days of Gilneas, the region of the Headlands were populated by the people of the Duathe, who often warred with the Eldir'thiirn of the southern part of the peninsula. Following the War of the Black Rose in which they and their allies of the Arathorian Empire defeated the Eldir'thiirn, they were assimilated into the empire as well.

During the Twins War, the nobles of the Headlands granted their support to Aderic Greymane, sending their men to fight at his side against his brother Sammith along with those from the southern reaches of Gilneas.

Years later, some of the towns of the Headlands, most notably Keel Harbor harbored rebel sympathizers during and following the Northgate Rebellion. During the Invasion of Gilneas, the Headlands were ravaged by the invading armies of the Horde, and Keel Harbor served as the exodus point for the Gilnean Exodus. Keel Harbor was also the landing site of the 7th Legion soldiers who pushed the Forsaken out of Gilneas after Gilneas rejoined the Alliance.

## Prominent Locations

### Keel Harbor

Keel Harbor is a harbor town located along the coast of the Northgate River. It has a history of shipbuilding and fishing, and is known to have been home to many rebel sympathizers back during the Northgate Rebellion. Keel Harbor was used as the exodus point from which the Gilneans fled their home, and was not razed to the ground like most of the towns in the Headlands. It was last seen being manned by members of the 7th Legion. The lands are now considered crown land in that they are ruled directly by the House of Greymane.

## Notable Headlands Families

### Daggerfang Family

The Daggerfangs are a small Gilnean family originating from the town of Keel Harbour. Though not of nobility, the family is well known for their strong Naval history, many of the family's members earning high ranks within the Gilnean Navy. Though, now even smaller then before the Exodus of Gilneas, the family lives on as the current head of the family, Admiral Ranets Daggerfang strives every day to keep the family alive and strong.

There are only five Daggerfangs left.

 File:Crow.jpg
### Nash Family

The Nash Family is a Gilnean family who also originate from Keel Harbour.The two families have close bonds and both share a heavy naval history. They too, are not of nobility, but are a notable sight within the region. While ultimately the majority of the family fell over time, two members still remain, the family currently led by Chief Petty Officer Rurhan Warmane, who is striving to reignite the families heritage as he trains to become a sailor within the Gilnean Navy.

The family is small, with only two members still remaining.

Operation Northwatch
 **Insignia**
 **Status**
 **Nickname**

The **Northern Gilnean Command Fleet** (Formerly **Task Force 42**) is a historic Gilnean naval unit which is most notably known for it's extensive anti-piracy efforts. Originally, the fleet was a Task Force, until it's re-dedication and transformation into a fleet during the July of 634 K.C., where it was renamed the Northern Gilnean Command Fleet and became the youngest of three fleets currently in active service throughout the Gilnean Navy.

## Role

The Command Fleet's mission is to organize, operate, train, and equip the Gilnean Navy for various deployments and maritime warfare.

As well as its deployments abroad, the Command Fleet often take routine border patrols of Gilneas and actively aids in anti-piracy efforts.

Due to the NGCOMFLT's leader being the active Fleet Commander, another task of the Fleet is to oversee and excel in Fleet combat and naval readiness requirements.

## Fleet Commander

The Fleet is led by Admiral Ranets Daggerfang, who is the acting Fleet Commander of the Grand Alliance Navy. He takes on a similar role as his Fleet and is responsible for the proper training, equiping and operating of naval resources as well as taking on full responsbility for navy combat forces and maritime surface warfare operations within the Navy. This allows Admiral Daggerfang to effectively navigate his post alongside his fleet.

## History

### Gilnean Navy

Task Force 42, originally in the hands of Commodore Lawson Fallow who had built the task Force up when receiving the post (It was at the time, one of the smallest Task Forces in commission.)

Commodore Fallow held command of the unit up until the Greymane Wall's erection.

### Disbanding

When King Genn Greymane announced the plans for the Greymane Wall (And later the fate of the Navy), most of the Task Force's men were either offered a transferring to more ground based militia forces (Such as the regiments posted on and by the Wall) or were offered early retirement.

### Reconstruction and Recommissioning

Following the re admission of the Kingdom of Gilneas into the Grand Alliance, those of the Gilnean Military Command that were left saw fit to revitalize the former Gilnean Navy in order to return Gilneas into a stable position within the Alliance. Admiral Daggerfang, who was an experienced officer and former Gilnean Naval Officer took up the task of revitalizing a major fleet unit. He began by recommissioning the Task Force in which he previously served in, Task Force 42.

### Re-dedication

During mid June 634 K.C., the Alliance Naval Command filed the transformation of Task Force 42 into what would become the Northern Gilnean Command Fleet. The Fleet would take up a broader role, particularly in the Northern Eastern Kingdoms region.

More to come shortly. :)
Gilnean Hallow's End Festival

The **Gilnean Hallow's End Festival** is a large celebration that takes place in the Kingdom of Gilneas. Once nation wide in that there would be multiple festivals of the same name, the namesake festival would often be hosted by various lords and ladies within Gilneas City. The festival was not exclusively held by the king or queen at the time, though they would often come out to celebrate and would give a speech annually on the meanings of the festival to the Gilnean people. Seen as a lavish affair, it was usually treated as a special occasion for the kingdom and would vary in terms of grandiose-ness by year.

Since the fall of Gilneas, two Festivals are still held in large number.

## Stormwind Festival

Taking the place of the Gilneas City festival, Genn Greymane organizes the festival within the outskirts of Stormwind City, setting up several booths and a large wickerman before the capitol. Doing as kings did in ages past, Genn has often related his speeches on the festival to that of the newer plights of Gilneas; stating that the kingdom has remained strong and will remain strong throughout.

It is the largest festival still held in the name of Gilneas in these terms.

## Ashen Coast Festival

Held by Duke Berenal Grayblade, the Ashen Coast festival is the only Hallow's End festival that has remained within the rebuilding kingdom. Held within the city of Bannhurst, the Ashen Coast festival rivals that of the Stormwind one and has attracted many allies of the Blades of Greymane and beyond. Seen as a closer to heritage example of the festival than the one in Stormwind, many Gilneans will flock to the festival when it rolls around in the Ashen Coast for a sense of normalcy at home before returning back to their quarters elsewhere.

Known for keeping to old tradition, the festival features a wickerman burning as well as the ceremonial speech. Various sorts of revelries are also held within the festival, such as a jousting tournament, a trained pet competition and several artist booths.
Greymane Manor

File:GreymaneManor1.PNG
The **Greymane Manor** is the official residence of the King of Gilneas and his royal family. It is an ancient house, possessing a wide range of historical paintings and other artifacts from early and modern Gilnean history.

The building is mostly built of spruce pine, with a classic Gilnean stone foundation. It once overlooked the farming town of Duskhaven but since the events of the Cataclysm and the Invasion of Gilneas, much of the village was sunk to the sea floor and the whole manor region is a precarious place to be, forcing many of the Invasion refugees who were taking safety in the manor's walls to flee to other settlements.

Given the Manor's state and the lack of recovery from the Kingdom of Gilneas as a whole, it is uncertain whether the Manor will return to it's former glory.

The House of Felweaver is a newly formed house sworn under House Grayblade. The Felweaver line isn't traced back to any notable figure. Originally placed in Faewood Valley, the house was removed from leadership of the region after inept leadership and blunders made by Cladriah Felweaver during the Second Range Rebellion. They were later placed in charge of the small town of Eldre'rhok as landed knights under the new rulers of the House of Blackmoore.

## Lormere

After an incident, Felweaver fled in the cover of night. Planning his return to power, and aided by the return of a trusted ally. Cladriah began his return to Lordship. Opting to rely on Stormwind politics, and the few allies he had in the House of Nobles. With the aid of his ally, who knew more about politics than him. He began to scheme and plot. Awaiting the day he may return to power.
Light's Dawn Cathedral

The **Light's Dawn Cathedral** of Gilneas City is one of the great cathedrals of the Church of the Holy Light. It was constructed during the industrialization period during the reign of King Archibald Greymane. Surrounded by the city's canals, it towers above the rest of the city. Unlike other cathedrals such as the Cathedral of Light in Stormwind, completely made out of stone, the interior of the cathedral was mostly made of woodwork designs and structures. The windows featured stained glass designs, and the cathedral contained several bookshelves which probably stored religious scripts. It is also the only cathedral in the Seven Kingdoms to be outside of the territories of Lordaeron and Stormwind. As the construction happened at the same time as the city's renovations, King Archibald may have wished to build a cathedral to rival that of Stormwind and Lordaeron's, so as to show Gilnean power.

 File:Light's Dawn Cathedral.jpg
It was also the location where former Northgate rebels, led by Lord Darius Crowley, made their last stand to hold off the Worgen invasion while the civilians were evacuated to Duskhaven, and it is where the 7th Legion set up their temporay base of operations after overwhelming Forsaken forces in the area.

The cathedral was the seat of the Archbishop of Gilneas, Seryl I and the head of the Diocese of Gilneas City. Seryl was unfortunately slain during the last stand of the Northgate rebels as he opted to remain behind to help as he could while the city was evacuated. There was no new archbishop appointed and the various diocese that were in Gilneas were eventually merged into the Diocese of Gilneas.

The current Bishop of Gilneas is Melchiz Tzedeck.

Gilneas City
Gilnean Navy
Gilnean Military
 **Status**

The **Royal Gilnean Naval College** was one of the major military education establishments, where many notable officers learned how to utilize rank and many other necessary things within the Gilnean Navy.

Though being a school for those generally at age of twenty or over, the College was known to participate and fund large portions of the nearby Gilneas City Private School's Cadet program.

## Faculties

The R.G.N.C was well known for it large classrooms and equipment, including several small skiffs and other sail ships. The College often utilized education with sailing, giving the students plenty of opportunities to learn how a ship works, all the way to the basic routine of the ship

### Outdoor Faculties

Nearby the large, rather Gothic college building, was a long dock, which the College used for Outdoor Education, though local fisherman and traders made good use of the area as well.

### Indoor Faculties

Asides from the large Outdoor Education, the College taught from within the building as well, teaching history, formations, even to the types of ships and it's story. The classrooms are noticeably much larger, in comparison to it's almost sister school, the Gilneas City Private School, which was known to have cramped, yet efficient classrooms.

## Education

All students in the College were applicants of Officer's position. Most of the applicants finished their education with the Midshipman rank.

The Education in itself, is known to be of high quality and many of the past students move on to become well notified people in various fields.

## The Greymane Wall and the Invasion of Gilneas

Following the Greymane Wall and almost complete de-construction of the Gilnean Navy, the College lost numbers of students rapidly, and for the almost two generations of the Wall being founded, the Royal College was reformed into the Royal Gilneas City Military College.

## Known Past Students

* Admiral Viktor Keel

* Rear Admiral Daniel Wilkinson
Harridan

**Language(s)**

**Harridans**, also known as **sea hags**and **wailing women**, are feared creatures in Gilnean and Tirassian folk lore. They can usually be found atop cliffs on the coast of Gilneas, staring out at the sea.

Legend has it that if one is ever alone at sea, a harridan may appear in the distance as a beautiful woman, her face cast down at the waters below. Despite her beauty, the sailor must look away. If he gazes for too long, her head jerks up, revealing a ghastly hole instead of a face. By then, the sailor is lost to her will, and is powerless to stop from wading into her arms.

It is not known if anyone has come into contact with one and survived.

Accounts diverge greatly on both the origin of the harridan and their true form. However, it is commonly accepted that their physical bodies are made up of coastal detritus, with hair of seaweed and bones of driftwood. They wear clothing crafted from tattered sails and old fishing nets, entangled with various bones.

It is believed that harridans are the damned souls of grieving widows, whose husbands were presumably lost at sea.
Oliver Gregor

Sir **Oliver Gregor** is the younger brother of Marcher Lord Adrian Gregor of the Range, a leader in the Blades of Greymane. Second son of the famed Xavier Gregor, Oliver was trained from a young age in the art of swordsmanship and eventually became a knight of the Kingdom of Gilneas. He was sent along with a large amount of troops to Kalimdor to take charge of the Blades' garrisons in the second continent full time, and was only able to return home to Gregor's Crossing following the end of the Siege of Orgrimmar. Despite having characteristically known as a loyal man and a soldier willing to do anything for his family, Oliver was reported to have taken hostile control over the Range shortly after his return, declaring his brother Adrian an incompetent ruler. With his large amount of loyal men and strategic mind, Oliver has proved to be a strong foe and has stood against the united Bite and Reach that are attempting to re-establish Adrian to his proper seat in the Range. His actions caused a civil war within the Headlands and sought to undo all that the Blades have achieved in the region.

Following the Rebellion, Oliver was unaccounted for. His mother, Maria Gregor, informed Adrian that he had gone missing. Her grief at the prospect of her two boys having come to blows in such a way has resulted in her being locked in her late husband's solar, where she now spends her days only allowing visitors for food and other necessities. She refuses to leave until Oliver's death is confirmed or denied.
Zul'Dare

**Ruler**
 **Status**

**Zul'dare** is an island that was once off the south eastern coast of the Kingdom of Gilneas and, despite its close proximity to the Kingdom of Kul Tiras, was considered a part of the kingdom of Gilneas.

## History

Originally infested with Forest trolls, early Gilnean sailors settled upon the island and systematically wiped out the native troll population; though they had kept the name given to it. The island maintained a population of Gilneans prior to the Second War and was considered strategically as an asset to Gilneas when tensions were high with Kul Tiras.

During the Second War, Zul'dare was raided and most of its inhabitants killed after the Horde attempted to establish a naval base on the island as they did with Crestfall and Tol Barad, but the Alliance was able to quickly reclaim the region. Following the invasion, Gilneas rebuilt the settlements on the island and returned normalcy to the region. The isle was host to one of the few principalities in Gilneas and was ruled by a Furst, a special title in the Gilneas Peerage akin to a Prince in other nations, and maintained constant contact with Gilneas even after the erection of the Greymane Wall.

Contact with Zul'dare was abruptly cut short sometime after the Third War, and due to the closing of Gilnean ports, no ships ever went out to investigate. Following the shattering, Zul'dare was no where to be found, though many speculate it might be the Darkmoon Island, simply shrouded by a spell. If that is the case however, the population's disappearance is unexplained.
Northern Headlands

**Location**
 **Affiliation**
 **Prominent Locations**
 **Status**

The **Northern Headlands** of the Kingdom of Gilneas refers to the coast and parts of the forest that lay towards the northwest of the Gilnean Peninsula. Separated from the Headlands proper, the region did not experience the same sort of isolation as the other Headlands and was more akin to the rest of the kingdom. The region was once a part of Nambitus and was within the Duchy of Northgate following the erection of the Greymane Wall. It was one of the main regions of rebel support during the Northgate Rebellion and reaches its cut off point at the wall and the road that separates it from the Northgate Woods. At its southern border lies the Northgate River, which separates it from the Headlands, and by following the main road one can reach Gilneas City.

The Northern Headlands are one of the most heavily impacted regions following the Invasion of Gilneas, having been ravaged by the Worgen early on then later by the Forsaken as the Wall shattered, having been used as Forsaken forward command as they moved forward into the rest of Gilneas, having experienced the destruction wrought by the crashing of a massive Horde Gunship into the landscape and Forsaken, and then later the excessive use of blight on the region. As a result, the Northern Headlands along with the Northgate Woods are unlikely to recover fully for some time.

The coast of the Northern Headlands has also been subject to frequent Forsaken naval invasions, though as of the war in Pandaria and the aftermath of the Siege of Orgrimmar, they have come to an abrupt end. Many suspect, should the war start up once more, that the Forsaken will continue to attempt to unload Horde mercenaries and warriors onto the region along with their soldiers as they have in the past.
Duskhaven

**Location**
 **Affiliation**
 **Status**

**Duskhaven** was a town located in southwestern Gilneas led by Mayor Gwen Armstead. It was destroyed during the Invasion of Gilneas due to the fragility of the land following the Cataclysm along with a Forsaken coastal bombardment, and all the lands all the way to the Darkmist shores were sunk, except for the local fishery. The lands were known to be one of the larger holdings under the House of Greymane and due to their status as being directly under the house, were referred to as Royal lands.

Prior to it's sinking, the town was the center for many travelers, particularly those trading fresh produce or held business with the Royal Family. The village even had a standing militia which was led by Hugh Luxford before his death at the ends of the Forsaken.

## History

Duskhaven was originally settled by farmers and fishermen, and composed a meager population of 200 inhabitants. They thrived off of the farms and fishing for years until the discovery of metal in the region. Settlers poured in from across the peninsula, and the region prospered as towns popped around. It only lasted a time, however, as there was less metal than thought.

Despite the lack of metal in the ground, most of the people didn't leave the region, and they continued to thrive from the farmlands, without and meaningful conflicts throughout the years. While there were rumors of a Kul Tirian naval invasion which led to the organization known as the "Blades of Korvask" to make their home there, they were presumably un-found.

### Invasion of Gilneas

 File:Ruins of Duskhaven.jpg  Years later, Duskhaven was where refugees originally went after the fall of Gilneas City to the Worgen. Unknown to them, Gilneas' natural coastal barrier had been damaged by the Cataclysm, which gave the Forsaken an opening for invasion. Because of the Cataclysm, the lands around the town had already been weakened, and the Forsaken invasion followed with a coastal bombardment caused the lands around Duskhaven to collapse.

With the town's imminent destruction, the town's mayor, Gwen Armstead, was forced to swiftly evacuate the town. Despite her best efforts, many were drowned when the town collapsed, busy trying to take as many of their possessions with them or too stubborn to leave, and a large portion of the region was sunk, including the entirety of the town except a small fishery.
Moonsteel

File:Moonsteel.jpg
**Moonsteel** is a strange type of metal having been used by the people of the Kingdom of Gilneas for quite some time. Prior to the fall of the Greymane Wall, the only town that continued to produce these strange metal bars was Pyrewood Village. After the coming of the Worgen and later Arugal's take over of Shadowfang Keep, moonsteel became a rare commodity as its creation was a not well known trade skill. The House of Silverlaine was known to keep an extremely large supply of moonsteel ingots in their supply stores, and would be heroes often attempted raids on the fallen keep to find these bars for their own weapons.

Moonsteel has been shown to be far more durable than normal steel, though they share many visual traits. The only thing that truly sets moonsteel apart from normal steel is that it has a far more shiny appearance to it than normal steel would. Many craftsmen prefer to use moonsteel for decorative blades over normal steel which can lose its luster in time, though in Gilnean practice, it is used more practically as moonsteel does not dull or become worn as fast as normal steel.

With the inclusion of the Gilnean people back into the Grand Alliance, moonsteel weapons have become more refined with craftsmen familiar with it, particularly with broadswords. Its creation is linked with the addition of odd stones known as moonstones during the smelting process, which can be found in various regions of Azeroth and in high frequency in the Gilnean area. Due to Gilneas' contested state, the frequency of moonstones has barely risen.

Gilneas Cuisine

**Gilneas Cuisine** details the various types of food and ingredients that would typically be found in the typical Gilnean family home prior to the near collapse of the kingdom. Following the erection of the Greymane Wall, cuisine in Gilneas became very self dependent and as a result, certain dishes may have become either rare or impossible to make (due to the lack of importation following the closing of Gilneas' harbors.).

## Common Ingredients

### Meat, Fish and Dairy

* Chicken.
* Fish.
* Venison.
* Turtle
* Roast boar, at least for the aristocracy.
* White cheese - probably sheep's milk.
* Sea bass and other fish.
* Mutton and lamb.

### Fruits and Vegetables

* Swift-thistle
* Cherries.
* Apples.
* Pumpkins.
* Berries in general.
* Corn
* Wheat
* Barley

### Grains

* Wheat and barley, presumably, since there's bread and pastries.

## Provincial Cuisine

### Ashen Coast

**See Flora and Fauna of the Ashen Coast for more information.**

### Blackwald

* Turtle
* Crocolisk

### Duskhaven

* Spice bread.
* Pies - meat, pumpkin, and fruit.

## Drinking Culture

### Wine

* Red wine.
* Imported wines.

## Rationales and Disclaimers

* Most of this article, outside of common ingredients, will be fanon as there isn't much known about specific provincial diets. Stormwind is a bit of an anomaly, having as much in-game detail as it does.
* This article is deliberately set prior to the Worgen curse except where otherwise noted.
* No boar are ever seen in Gilneas, but they're referenced in the cuisine anyway. My hypothesis? They ate the bloody lot in the famine.
* We never see a cow, either - and the lots'o meat pie's flavour text, though meant to be a joke, actually suggests something. There's no beef in the damn thing. No cows, or very few - so Gilnean white is likely sheep's milk cheese.
* Given the famine and the general hunger following it, it's probably safe to assume a diet heavy in grains and legumes, with much of the meat coming in the form of salt or smoked fish.
University of Gilneas

 **Status**

The **University of Gilneas** was one of the prime establishments of higher learning in the Kingdom of Gilneas. It was first established around 72 F.A. with the construction of Gilneas City, but has been renovated many times over the centuries, most notably during the great industrialization period of 1054 F.A., where it gained its current appearance.

It was closed due to the worgen attack and the Invasion of Gilneas. Most of its teachers have taken residence in the Howling Oak in Darnassus, but several have moved on to other establishments in the Alliance.
House of Darkoak

The **House of Darkoak** was a Gilnean noble house that made it's home in the town of Rosefield as Viscounts. The House was known to originate from the Dark Woods. As their early history was relatively obscure, the Darkoaks could trace their lineage back to the natives that had made their home in the Headlands that were eventually subjugated under the House of Cobalstant and had left their homes in the woods to establish Rosefield by the time of the rise of the short lived Kingdom of the Headlands.

The Darkoak line eventually died out with Balaforth Darkoak and his son Galen Darkoak allegedly at the hands of Lord Berenal Grayblade, Galen's best friend. Reports of a survivor of the lineage outside of the wall have been made, but searches for the remaining Darkoak have turned up fruitless. Balaforth was known to have a brother and sister who lived outside of the wall, but his brother was found deceased in his home after the fall of Lordaeron. His sister's body was never found.

The House is survived by a bastard line, the House of Dayne, which had once rebelled against their rule. Its lone survivor, Lerren Dayne, has been risen as Baron of Rosefield using his blood ties to the region.
Island of Tovner

File:Island of Tovner.jpg
The Island of Tovner, commonly known as simply "Tovner", is an island off the coast of Gilneas. It is also known as "Gilneas Island" to most Gilneans, for its similarity to the mainland of Gilneas. It is now owned by Ez Tavinar, who plans to reform the old Greymane-style island into a technological wonder.

History

### Founding

Tovner was formed after the expedition of Duke Elis Tavinar of Gilneas to find land for Gilneas to claim. This was before the First War, and long before Gilneas was seperated from the Alliance. The Tovnerians were constantly getting imports from Kul Tiras, Stromgarde, and of course, Gilneas. Life was swell on Tovner, as many Tovnerians were happy with their new home.

After the death of Elis Tavinar (Caused naturally) near The Shattering , Elis' son, Tommosin, was put on the throne. The crown of Tovner was given to Duke Tommosin Tavinar of Tovner. Tommosin already had a son, in which he named "Ez".

### Destruction

However, the day after the ascension of Tommosin Tavinar, the island was under attack by a band of pirates, now known as the "Stormwater Pirates". They ransacked the main capital of Tearvale City, and began taking parts of the Island. The Stormwater, with Tearvale destroyed, had full attention set on Duke Tommosin. They attacked him in a way similar to lightning. Ez's mother, Tarra, took Ez on a boat to Gilneas out of Lily Harbor, only to find that Gilneas was also under siege, this time by the Forsaken. The boat was re-routed to Stormwind City, where the Tovnerians would find their new home.

### Ascension of "Duke" Ez

At adulthood, the now Crowned Duke of the Island of Tovner, Ez Tavinar, was distressed. He knew that his people would fall without a proper home. He plans on making said Island no more of a monarchy. Instead, he would make the Island of Tovner a democracy, with him as President. He also plans on making it a technologically advanced island, known as a wonder of Azeroth. He now plans on forging a group to reclaim the Island.

This group will be known as the People of Tovner.

## Lands

The Elis Lands - Composed of Lily Harbor, Copperpick Mine, and the Forest of Archibald.

Middle Mourn - Composed of Tavinar Mansion, Tearvale City, and Rorick's Cemetary.

Torigarde - Composed of Orri Town, Zoth's Forest, and Stormwater Seawatch.
Gilnean Declaration of Free Ecclesiastical Investiture

The **Gilnean Declaration of Free Ecclesiastical Investiture** was a declaration made by King Genn Greymane of the Kingdom of Gilneas following the separation of Gilneas from the rest of Azeroth by the creation of the Greymane Wall in 1124 F.A.. The declaration instated the rite of free investiture, where the liege lords of Gilneas proper could appoint their own bishops/heads of their diocese. The declaration allowed for the appointment of various bishops outside of the control of the Archbishop of the Holy Church and later resulted in the appointment of Archbishop of Gilneas, Seryl I.

## Reasoning

The declaration was made in part due to the separation of the Gilnean peoples from the Church of the Holy Light as a proper district of the church's ruling. Deciding that investiture would ensure the continuation of the light's doctrines after being sealed off from the Church as a whole, King Genn Greymane passed the Declaration of Free Investiture, which allowed secular lords to appoint bishops over their region. To oversee the kingdom as a whole however, King Greymane took it a step forward and declared Fenegan Nessing, the lead bishop within Gilneas City as Archbishop of Gilneas. Dubbed Seryl I, the new archbishop worked in tandem with the priests of Gilneas in order to prevent corruption from overbearing the kingdom with the new lord's freedoms. As such, while Lords were permitted to appoint as they pleased, said bishops would under go scrutiny from the main body of the church within Gilneas City, and those deemed heretical were sometimes excommunicated or removed from post. This was done to avoid simony, or the selling of church positions, or appointment of overly corrupt officials within the body of the church.

## Stance Today

The Declaration remained active until the creation of the Diocese of Gilneas which removed all former diocese within the kingdom. As per request, the king over turned the decree, though it was made a point that should Gilneas be restored, secular lieges should be given say in who is appointed to the various priests appointed to their regions.

 **Status**

 **Next (Lower)**

The **Invasion of Gilneas Campaign Medal** was a Gilnean military decoration awarded to all Gilneans (Particularly of the Military) who fought in the defense of their nation.

Much of the surviving Gilnean population holds the award as well as an estimated few thousands who were awarded the medal post-humorously.

While the medal was primarily awarded to military personnel, large groups of civilians were also awarded the Campaign Medal for noteworthy dedication to the defense.

The Medal holds no accompanying battle bars or clasps, and also lacks a Post-Nominal.
