Ships of the Forsaken Navy commenced a bombardment of the coastal town of [[Duskhaven]] and its surrounding farmsteads while landing footsoldiers. Newly-cured worgen, acting under the command of [[Liam Greymane|Prince Liam Greymane]], moved into action, catapulting onto the ships and slaying their captains, and then leashing a pack of [[mastiff]]s on the area commander, [[Dark Ranger Thyala]]. But even with this victory, there came a price. The earth, already weakened from the bombardment, began to fragment and collapse as the Cataclysm continued, and an evacuation of Duskhaven was put together before the town was completely consumed. The survivors fled to [[Greymane Manor]], and then further inland - into the [[Blackwald]].

Within this dark forest, the Gilneans met the [[night elf|night elves]], who told them of the origins of the worgen curse - that long ago, the [[Druids of the Scythe]] had abandoned the balance and allowed the beast within to consume them. They had been banished to the [[Emerald Dream]] to sleep for eternity under [[Tal'doren]], the wild tree in the Blackwald...but not before their curse had spread. [[Darius Crowley|Lord Darius Crowley]], who had also been transformed into a worgen and had managed to regain the balance between man and beast, revealed that the Forsaken were not only after the lands of Gilneas, they were after something that could bring the worgen under their control - the [[Scythe of Elune]]. Aided by [[Tobias Mistmantle]] and his trackers, the worgen killed Sylvanas' [[dark ranger]]s and reclaimed the precious artifact. Knowing that the alchemy that had returned their minds to them would not last long, the worgen drank of the waters of Tal'doren, and restored the balance between human and beast. [[Genn Greymane|King Genn Greymane]] himself came to the Blackwald and revealed that he too had been affected by the curse, and joined with all of his people to drive the Forsaken from their lands.

[[Lord Godfrey]] was an unaffected nobleman who condemned the transformed Gilneans as monsters. Upon learning that Greymane himself had been cursed, Godfrey put a plan into motion that he believed would save Gilneas. Joined by two eastern lords, [[Baron Ashbury]] and [[Lord Walden]], Godfrey captured Greymane and held him prisoner. He hoped that by turning the king over to the Forsaken, Gilneas would be spared.

The Gilnean worgen struck back, tracking down and assassinating both Ashbury and Walden, and cornered Godfrey at [[Tempest's Reach]]. With his support gone and his plan defeated, Godfrey committed suicide rather than acknowledge a [[worgen]] as his king.

With the dissent from within crushed, Greymane sent his loyal supporters to aid in liberating the mining town of [[Emberstone]] from Forsaken control. Prince Liam and [[Lorna Crowley]], the daughter of Lord Darius, led the troop, making headquarters in the livery stables. After freeing the enslaved Gilneans, they aimed at the Forsaken leader, [[Executor Cornell]], known for his unbound ruthlessness, and [[Valnov the Mad]], the so-called scientist who carried out inhuman experiments on the villagers too old to work the mines.

Liam caught Sylvanas' forces at [[Greymane Court]], while his father met them on the other side. As the tide was turning against Sylvanas, she used her dark powers to stun every one in the immediate area and aimed a poisoned arrow at Genn Greymane. Liam jumped in front of the bowshot, saving his father from certain doom. As Sylvanas fled the scene, Liam died with the knowledge that the city had been freed from Forsaken control.

Later on, Sylvanas met with [[General Warhowl]], envoy of [[Garrosh Hellscream|Warchief Garrosh Hellscream]], telling him that [[Gilneas]] was under control and agreeing not to use the [[New Plague|Forsaken Blight]], as its development had been banned after the incident at the Wrathgate. As the emissary left, Sylvanas told [[High Executor Crenshaw]] to deploy the new plague as planned, despite Garrosh's command.

At the dawn of the next day, despite the wishes of Garrosh Hellscream, the Forsaken used their Blight on Gilneas, killing most of its inhabitants. Greymane organized the retreat of all citizens he could find to [[Aderic's Repose]], while adventurers distracted the Forsaken with their own bombing bats.

The night elves, led by the [[priestess of the moon]] [[Belrysa Starbreeze]], made good on their promise and brought ships at [[Keel Harbor]], as well as an offer of sanctuary in [[Teldrassil|their lands]]. Unfortunately, the Forsaken's allies, the Horde, arrived as well. An orcish [[gunship]], similar to ''[[Orgrim's Hammer]]'', which had fought in Northrend, entered the field, preventing the transport ships from taking the Gilneans to safety. While the [[druid]]s were holding the enemy back, the siege weapons carried by the elven ships were deployed and met their enemy head-on.

A [[hippogryph]]-mounted party boarded the gunship to place explosives in the engineering room below deck. As they proceeded, the gunship's captain, [[Korm Bonegrind]], appeared and the party fled on wyverns roosting on the lower deck. With its engines destroyed, the explosives detonated, destroying the gunship at the Greymane Wall.

Gilneas was left in ruins, both by the Forsaken invasion and by the very land ripping itself apart. The surviving Gilneans fled to Teldrassil and other Alliance strongholds, where they offered their services to the Alliance. With his homeland gone and his heir slain, Genn Greymane journeyed to Stormwind, political and military capital of the Alliance, where he stands at the side of Stormwind's master, King [[Varian Wrynn]].

There is still a significant Gilnean activity in the form of the [[Gilneas Liberation Front]], operating out of [[Pyrewood Village]] in southern [[Silverpine Forest]] and backed by the [[7th Legion]] in their war against the invading Forsaken.
