Gilneas is a region in the world of Azeroth, known for its distinct culture and architecture. It is primarily inhabited by the Gilneans, a human race that has a rich history and unique traditions. The area is characterized by its lush forests, rugged coastline, and a strong sense of isolation due to its high walls. Historically, Gilneas was part of the Kingdom of Lordaeron but became independent during the Second War. The region is also notable for its connection to the Worgen, a race of werewolf-like beings that emerged after a curse was unleashed. This transformation has significantly impacted the identity and fate of the Gilneans.
