History
During the First War, the town of Deadhollow became a hotbed of traitorous witches in service of the Burning Legion. Over time would be revealed that Lord Giles, the ruler of Deadhollow and the nearby manor of Gaval Moch had been harboring these witches, allowing many of its citizens to be sacrificed in their dark rituals.

Following a series of skirmishes, the coven was cleansed from the village by Gilneas, but at the cost of much of its population and infrastructure. To make matters worse, a vengeful Greymane imposed heavy tariffs on the village, and withdrew support. Many withdrew from Silverpine, and those that remained were destitute and leaderless. However, Sammas, a mere lawyer at the time, would rise to the occasion, becoming the villiage's first mayor. Under Gomein's guidance, the ruined village would return to some semblance of its former self, and he became beloved by his people.

Ultimately the King would close Gilneas off from Silverpine, leaving Deadhollow to fend for itself. The mayor would consider this the final straw, declaring secession from Gilneas. Although the population remained low, this would ultimately prove a valuable asset in the coming years, as first Undead and then Worgen raided the surrounding lands. The shabby town remained inconspicuous and unimportant to even the Scourge.
