Gorbold Steelhand

While most of Kalimdor's northern reaches are populated by the secretive night elves, Alliance outposts like Auberdine rely on merchants from across the Great Sea to keep trade moving. Gorbold Steelhand represents the far-reaching presence of Ironforge commerce in the region. Working alongside the kaldorei, he sells trade goods, reagents, crafting sundries, and tools to adventurers preparing to explore the treacherous shores and forests of Darkshore.

Beyond stocking daily goods, Gorbold keeps a keen eye on the perilous coastal waters off Auberdine. Darkshore's reef-strewn waters are notorious for swallowing Alliance vessels, and merchants like Gorbold have a direct interest in the cargo lost beneath the waves. Travelers willing to dive into the deep ocean can often find him interested in the salvage and lost logs scattered across sunken wrecks.
