Bite (Gilneas)

The Bite.

The Bite concept art.

The Bite is a jagged reef that stretches above the shore of Gilneas. It was the Cataclysm's earthquakes that opened a passage through the reefs, which have always protected the kingdom from coastal attacks.^[1] The Galewatch Lighthouse and a lighthouse near Tempest's Reach were built among the cliffs to help ships pass through it. The subzone is not displayed anymore in the Ruins of Gilneas.

Notes

Players could originally enter this subzone at anytime and be tagged as being in Gilneas rather than the Ruins of Gilneas.
- Before being fixed at some point, it was the only remaining subzone in the Ruins of Gilneas, following patch 4.2.0, that caused the General Chat channel to swap to that of Gilneas (Greymane Manor claims that players have zoned into Gilneas, but does not actually change the General chat channel).
