Lakeshire, aka Township of Lakeshire, is an ancient humantown that sits on the banks of the majestic and large Lake Everstill (from which the town gets its name). It's located in Redridge Mountains, and has 1,500 citizens — mostly farmers, poachers, and travellers — that reside there under the watchful (and often worried) eye of elected Magistrate Solomon. The town is a considered a serene and quiet place. Even with the occasional incursions by the orcs, it is a prime example of how peaceful this area was before the coming of the Horde and the Great Wars.
Like Westfall and Duskwood, Redridge Mountains is also under the theoretical protection of the Stormwind army and, like them, has been left mostly to its own devices. However, there is a small guard platoon situated there and the area is still relatively quiet. The nearby Stonewatch Keep has been overrun by orcs that sometimes stage small raids into the city.
Redridge is classified as a Contested zone, but contains no Horde flight point or quests. However, it is a very short ride away from the Burning Steppes, a high-level zone, and thus many Horde players choose to engage in raids there.
Besides the Blackrock Orcs, the Gnolls also pose a threat to the citizens of Lakeshire, and to travelers. They live in camps to the west, east and south.
