Duskhaven

Last wiki revision 2023-03-16

Duskhaven was a town located along the southwestern coast of Gilneas. Gwen Armstead was its mayor. It was the location that the evacuees from Gilneas City fled to as the worgen overran the capital.

One day before the attack on Gilneas City, the town witnessed a murder of Starlight Slasher. With the earthquakes caused by the Cataclysm, the land beneath Duskhaven crumbled, and the town was swallowed by the sea. Its underwater ruins can be visited in the Gilnean coast.

  • Duskhaven was described at BlizzCon 2009 as the "starting town" for worgen players in Cataclysm; while players actually start in Gilneas City, their start as actual worgen is indeed in Duskhaven. A looser interpretation is that Duskhaven was the starting town, but Gilneas City was added before it later.
  • In early alpha quests, the player character started in a prison of a town called Grimmburg which was under attack from the Horde. As Gwen Armstead was the major of Grimmburg, and with the description of Incomplete Cartography implying the town's fate, it is very likely that Duskhaven was initially concepted as Grimmburg. Warden Blackwell, Krennan Aranas, Huntsman Russell, Gilnean Bloodhounds, Grimmburg Militias, Grimmburg Watchmen, Orc Scouts, and Krugg Worgmaw were present here. Lieutenant Wright was out of the town, on the "frontlines".

An unnamed island pack is tied with items containing the town's name. As such, it is possible that those worgen originally come from Duskhaven.
