The Headlands

The Headlands is a large section of land located in the western reaches of the Kingdom of Gilneas.

History
In the early days of Gilneas, the region of the Headlands were populated by the people of the Duathe, who often warred with the Eldir'thiirn of the southern part of the peninsula. Following the War of the Black Rose in which they and their allies of the Arathorian Empire defeated the Eldir'thiirn, they were assimilated into the empire as well.

During the Twins War, the nobles of the Headlands granted their support to Aderic Greymane, sending their men to fight at his side against his brother Sammith along with those from the southern reaches of Gilneas.

Years later, some of the towns of the Headlands, most notably Keel Harbor harbored rebel sympathizers during and following the Northgate Rebellion. During the Invasion of Gilneas, the Headlands were ravaged by the invading armies of the Horde, and Keel Harbor served as the exodus point for the Gilnean Exodus. Keel Harbor was also the landing site of the 7th Legion soldiers who pushed the Forsaken out of Gilneas after Gilneas rejoined the Alliance.

Keel Harbor
Keel Harbor is a harbor town located along the coast of the Northgate River. It has a history of shipbuilding and fishing, and is known to have been home to many rebel sympathizers back during the Northgate Rebellion. Keel Harbor was used as the exodus point from which the Gilneans fled their home, and was not razed to the ground like most of the towns in the Headlands. It was last seen being manned by members of the 7th Legion. The lands are now considered crown land in that they are ruled directly by the House of Greymane.

Daggerfang Family
The Daggerfangs are a small Gilnean family originating from the town of Keel Harbour. Though not of nobility, the family is well known for their strong Naval history, many of the family's members earning high ranks within the Gilnean Navy. Though, now even smaller then before the Exodus of Gilneas, the family lives on as the current head of the family, Admiral Ranets Daggerfang strives every day to keep the family alive and strong.

There are only five Daggerfangs left.

Nash Family
The Nash Family is a Gilnean family who also originate from Keel Harbour.The two families have close bonds and both share a heavy naval history. They too, are not of nobility, but are a notable sight within the region. While ultimately the majority of the family fell over time, two members still remain, the family currently led by Chief Petty Officer Rurhan Warmane, who is striving to reignite the families heritage as he trains to become a sailor within the Gilnean Navy.

The family is small, with only two members still remaining.
