This is what Gilneas is renamed to after the Worgen starting questline.

It's heavily implied the forsaken won.

The quests seem to suddenly end.

I finished A Man Named Godfrey and Resistance is Futile then the NPC's I was with just vanished. I was fallowing the Silverpine quest chain and I was left with no quests in my log or any idea where to go next.

I need help with restarting the questline(s) in this area.

So what happened, I found Godfrey's body, and then Agatha (Valk'yr) was carrying me back to Sylvanas at the Battlefront zone. I accidently dismounted, but I got back to sylvanas, but there seemed to be some sort of error, since she asked where Godfrey's body was, so I figured I'd abandoned the quest and restart it.

Now I don't know where it starts, and I'd like to do it for pleasure and natural levling's sake before I hit lvl 20, so what do I do?

As I wandered through it at level 83 to see the new content, this zone doesn't make much sense. The Forsaken are clearly on a war footing as you enter the area from the north, with catapults ready to fire at the gap in the Greymane Wall, but there's not a living soul in the zone itself. Left me wondering who they were supposed to be fighting, if the Gilneans were conquered, as suggested by the first comment above.

It's called a Battle Ground dudes. The Worgen starting quests tell the tale of the Gilneans retreat to the NE starting area. They'll attmept to reclaim it with the allances help one the BG get's up and running.

Personally I would prefer this over Tol Barad, Maybe a second world PvP Zone to be implemented later in the expansion? I think not but we can always hope... QQ
