[Lore] Gilneas following the Fourth War?

Then I suggest, as Tehya mentioned before, that you have a word with the Ebonsworn about the Deathgate they placed on the dock of Keel Harbour.

On the left end of the dock, specifically, if that’s any help :slight_smile:

Typical non-RP response. Absolutely clueless about the unwritten rules of sportsmanship.

Guess we will have to

Yes, do so.

Don’t really understand how you trust more DKs in the first place.

Technically, i was not aware of this. The only DK we actually worked with IC was one of our guild members on an alt. And he actively fought with us against the other DK-s

I know that, Ebonsworn popping up and planting a Death Gate permanently going “We’re going to investigate this place for things about graverobbing” is something to lift a brow over.

It’s fine, i’m sure the Gilnean populace is totally unfazed by the lingering miasma, purple apparitions and strange killing machines popping in and out.

Sounds like Jehovah’s.

In what way out of what you said?

Yes.

Have you read the mission tables? It’s not saying that at all.

There are offenses in

  • Fenris Isle
  • Hillsbrad
  • Shadowfang Keep

And that’s about it. There’s not even evidence of troups passing the borders afaik.
On top of that, there IS proof that Harris wants to unleash an even more powerful blight onto Gilneas, which implies there’s still the original one.

Also there’s a quote from King Rastakhan to Genn that he is an exile without a homeland which confirms that as well.

There are two things mentioning Gilneas and if you read closely you notice it’s not -IN- Gilneas.

  1. Scouts report a Gilnean army under Darius Crowley marches against Hillsbrad. Set upon his forces at the Sludge Fields, where our power is greatest. (source: BfA MIssion: Gilnean Assault)

Nothing about Gilneas being used by alliance.

  1. Untold numbers of undead are raised in The Sludge Fields and marched against Gilneas. Send an assault to crush Warden Stillwater’s seat of power. (source: BfA Mission: Undead Rising)

Nothing about Gilneas being used by alliance.

If it’s not used by the Alliance, why are there “untold numbers of undead… marched against Gilneas”? The Forsaken send undead there for fun?

Gilneas could just mean the Gilnean forces under Crowley, to be fair.

Fair enough, but why send the undeath into Gilneas if, according to Lupus, Gilneas isn’t being used by the Alliance. It should say Gilnean forces then at the least, but it specifically states Gilneas.

Considering that both missions seem to reference the same conflict, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to chalk it up to an oversight on part of whoever wrote the mission table.

Just as it would not be unreasonable to assume it may actually mean Gilneas. Since it actually says…Gilneas.

I mean, look. Lets look at this from a different point of view. In my opinion, the strength of the Forsaken in the north is not what it used to be, not by a long shot. I’m not saying they are not still there or not a force to be reckoned with, but with UC gone, and especially now with Sylvanas gone, would it not be possible for the Alliance to start using Gilneas as a staging ground? I mean its location is perfect as a staging ground for a two pronged attack against both Silverpine and Hillsbrad since it borders both of those areas. I’m not saying its happening, but it could be so. And quite honestly, i doubt Crowley would be attacking from anywhere else but Gilneas, since there are no other bases from him to attack from.

And with Silvermoon being the only Horde full fledged city in the North, meaning bringing in supplies and reinforcements may be a problem, due to distance its away, i think its quite plausible to imagine something like that happening.

So undead are marching on Gilneas, cool. Still nothing to point to anything being in Gilneas.

You mean aside from the same bunch of quests that say Crowley is attacking Hillsbrad with a Gilnean army?

Oke, so the Forsaken are marching against ruins. Guess they lost too, since Gilneas is still uninhabited.

Given how their battle tactics have been thus far, are you really surprised the Forsaken managed to be defeated by an empty city?

Correct, an army of Gilneans, not an army coming from Gilneas itself.
