Gilneans are a human race from the kingdom of Gilneas in the world of Warcraft. They are known for their distinct culture, which includes a strong emphasis on independence and self-sufficiency. Historically, they were isolated from the rest of the world due to a magical barrier, allowing them to develop a unique society. The Gilneans are also recognized for their connection to the Worgen, a race of wolf-like beings. This transformation occurred during the Scourge invasion, leading to a struggle between their human and Worgen forms. Despite their challenges, Gilneans are resilient and resourceful, often showcasing their determination in the face of adversity.
