Allen Farmstead
Allen Farmstead was a livestock farm located west of and downhill from Duskhaven, and next door to the Hammond Farmstead, in southwestern Gilneas. It was run by Marie Allen who raised horses and sheep. The two properties were divided by an ominous fissure in the ground right before the Cataclysm. Unlike Duskhaven, absolutely nothing remains of the farmstead under the water.
At the beginning of the invasion of Gilneas, the farm's storm cellar became a staging area for Lord Vincent Godfrey to lead the Gilnean counteroffensive against the invading Forsaken.[1] When the worgen adventurer was sent by Gwen Armstead to help, Melinda Hammond asked them to find her children Cynthia, Ashley, and James at her property, as the military would not allow her outside the cellar.[2] At the same time, the Forsaken Machinists and their catapults landed on the Duskmist Shore and began bombarding the Hammond and Allen farmsteads.[3]
With the earthquakes caused by the Cataclysm, the land crumbled, and the farm was swallowed by the sea.[4] The Gilnean adventurer was later sent by Prince Liam Greymane to save the drowning watchmen who did not have time to flee the area, while fighting the Forsaken Survivors attempting to thwart those that would save the victims.[5]
