Northshire Valley
From WoWWiki
Northshire Valley is a pristine valley in Elwynn Forest in which both Northshire Abbey and the Northshire Vineyards are located. This is where the human starting area is located, though the serene valley is visited by adventurers from all over the world.
Northshire Valley is surrounded by impenetrable mountains, with the exception of a pass to the South which is protected by thick stone walls and a guarded entryway. A river runs through the valley, which eventually exits Northshire and empties into Crystal Lake.
The guards of Stormwind have trouble maintaining the peace in Northshire Valley, due to an increase in activity from various threats. Deputy Willem notes an increase in the number of wolves inhabiting the woods, Marshal McBride reports a faction of kobolds infesting the areas in and around Echo Ridge Mine, and Milly Osworth fears for her vineyard at the hands of Defias Brotherhood thugs.
Gameplay Notes
It is advisable to stay here until you reach level 5 or until you are a high enough level to survive outside the valley. In the valley area outside of Northshire Abbey, there are low-level wolves and kobolds, both of which are neutral and will not attack players on sight.
