Elwynn Forest is a vast woodland where the majority of the humans live and is the starting point of all human characters. Though much of the forest was burned down during the First War, trees and lush glades have grown anew. The capital city of Stormwind lies in the northwest part of the forest and is heavily patrolled by the Stormwind guards.

Garrison guards scattered throughout the forest attempt to keep the lands safe from the forces of the Horde, as well as the various wild creatures, hostile humanoids, and the Defias Brotherhood, which has various staging camps around the woods. Elwynn is generally a peaceful forest, but if travelers wander too far from the main roads they may encounter hidden dangers lurking in the shadows.

History

Elwynn was the site of many battles in the First War, in which the kingdom of Azeroth fell to the orcish Horde. After the fall of Stormwind Keep, Elwynn became the domain of the Stormreaver and Twilight's Hammer clans.

Following the liberation of Azeroth by the Alliance of Lordaeron, the forest has been returned to its prior pastoral beauty. The kingdom was renamed to Stormwind sometime after the Third War. The city of Stormwind, the town of Goldshire, and the abbey at Northshire have all been rebuilt, and the land shows no trace of its unhappy past.

Quests

Northshire Abbey

Bounty on Garrick Padfoot [1]

This quest is usually the last quest before leaving Northshire. Garrick in behind the Vineyard along the mountains, usually with a guard so it can be a difficult fight, especially for a solo lvl 5-6. the best way to do this is concentrate on Garrick and bring him down. After that, either you can run or take care of the guard. If you run, be careful as the entire area around Garrick has wandering Defias.

Milly's Harvest

This quest can be difficult if you are not slow and methodical. The quest is to collect 8 barrels of Milly's Grape harvest from the Defias overrun vineyard. There is no best way of doing this, just be ready for surprise attacks from wandering Defias Cutpurses as you collect the barrels. Try and stay close to the river and cross the river as an escape route.

Kobold Camp Cleanup [2]

In this quest you will have to go north and kill 10 Kobold Vermins. This quest is easily done at levels 1 and 2 as a first quest to New Players in this game.
