Stoneward Prison

Stoneward Prison (or Gilneas City Prison) is a fortified prison complex located in the Military District of Gilneas City.

After being arrested for his insurrection against King Genn Greymane, Lord Darius Crowley was held in Stoneward Prison until towards the end of the Northgate Rebellion.

Years later, when the worgen began to run rampant in Gilneas, King Greymane sends Gilnean adventurers to the prison to free Lord Crowley and secure his assistance in fighting off the worgen onslaught.

After Gilneas fell to the Forsaken, the prison courtyard was used to store parts for abominations. The massive flesh beast Gorerot, created to fight off the Gilneans, was fought and destroyed here.

Later, the prison fell under the control of the Blackhowl, a group of Gilneans who serve Lord Hiram Creed, a black drakonid in disguise as an affluent Gilnean noble who is subverting the Gilneans under his command. They took up residence in the courtyard of the prison, where many Forsaken assassins' bodies could be found after their unsuccessful attempts to regain control of the place.

• This area was planned to be available in the original concept for the Battle for Gilneas, taking place in Gilneas City itself.
