The Northgate Rebellion was a civil uprising in the kingdom of Gilneas sometime after the construction of the Greymane Wall. It was presumably named for the Northgate Woods or Northgate River, regions of Gilneas near the wall. Lord Crowley and the Northgate rebels made a last stand at Light's Dawn Cathedral to buy time for Greymane to lead the citizens of Gilneas City to safety. As a result, Crowley and those of his men who were not killed were afflicted by the worgen curse, Gilneas City fell, and the civil war was over.
