Gilneas is a human kingdom in the *World of Warcraft* universe, known for its isolation and gothic architecture. It is located on a peninsula in Lordaeron and ruled by the Greymane family. The kingdom withdrew from the Alliance after the Second War, sealing itself off with the Greymane Wall. A significant event in Gilneas’s history is the Worgen curse, which transformed many citizens into werewolf-like creatures, including King Genn Greymane. In *World of Warcraft*, Gilneas serves as the starting area for the Worgen race, introduced in the *Cataclysm* expansion. The region’s dark and moody atmosphere reflects its troubled history and ongoing struggles, especially against the Forsaken forces. Gilneas’s story, marked by themes of transformation and resilience, plays a notable role in the game’s larger narrative, with characters like King Genn Greymane becoming key figures in the ongoing conflicts.
