| − | When [[Genn Greymane|King Greymane]] severed ties with the [[Alliance]] after the [[Second War]], the kingdom of [[Gilneas]] became independent from all other nations and opposing forces. Although the massive [[Greymane Wall]] protected Gilneas from outside threats, a virulent [[worgen]] curse and [[Gilneas civil war|civil war]] crippled the kingdom from within. As the [[Cataclysm (event)|Cataclysm]] strikes and the Greymane Wall's gates are destroyed, the people of Gilneas must come to terms with their dark curse and learn to persevere through catastrophic earthquakes and an unrelenting [[Forsaken]] invasion. The [[Horde]] recognizes this land as a strategic location with key resources to fuel the faction's war effort against the Alliance, and Horde forces will not stop their siege until the city and its surrounding territories are under their control. To protect its lands from the Horde, the once-isolated nation of Gilneas must now work with the Alliance. |

| − | The '''Battle for Gilneas''' is a new 5 vs. 5 Battleground for level-85 players. Much like they do in [[Arathi Basin]], teams must control strategic capture points on the map to accumulate resources. The first team to gather 2000 resources wins. |

||
| − | Teams will start at opposite ends of the map with default graveyards nearby. Once the match begins, teams will race toward each other to vie for control of three strategic points; each point will allow your team to gain resources and additional graveyards. Adding to the intensity of the battle are many obstacles that block line of sight, as well as chokepoints for fending off enemy advances. |

| + | See [[List of Stormwind NPCs]]. |
||
| − | ==The Overlook== |
||
| − | In the center of the map is an area known as the Overlook. Hills on either side of the map create chokepoints, while narrow paths through the hills provide teams with alternate routes. A river dividing the map will also lead opponents toward a single bridge. In some cases, dominating the Overlook might be the key to controlling the capture points. |

||
| − | In The Battle for Gilneas, three distinct resource points are available for the taking by either the Horde or the Alliance: the Mines, the Lighthouse, and the Waterworks. Once any of these points is held by a team, access to nearby graveyards will be granted. In addition, workers from the controlling faction will show up to collect the resources necessary to win the battle. |

| − | Chaos will be unleashed upon Azeroth when Deathwing returns, but many steadfast leaders will see the Cataclysm as an opportunity to further the cause of their people... or simply attain more power. The situation in Gilneas is no different. Will the embattled Gilneans be able to defend their land after realigning with the Alliance? Or will the Forsaken, reinforced by Garrosh's Horde, seize this near-forgotten territory as a new stronghold in the Eastern Kingdoms? |
