About

Goldshire is where the road from Northshire meets the road to Stormwind and the road to the mines. It has a blacksmith, a market and one very busy inn. Almost every new Alliance adventurer passes through it. [WoW Classic · Elwynn Forest]

When the Darkmoon Faire comes to the forest, word reaches Goldshire first. [Game · Quest: The Darkmoon Faire]
