Silverwind Refuge

Silverwind Refuge is located in south-central Ashenvale, just north of Mystral Lake and directly south of the Remains of Iris Lake and Thunder Peak. It is a Horde outpost with a flightmaster, an innkeeper, quest givers, a stable master, and vendors. The corpses of some of the previous inhabitants still lie on the ground around the outpost. The main building that functions as an inn is night elven and has a beautiful view on the lake that borders it. It should also be noted that the Horde have set up logging operations in the surrounding area and have begun to clear the forest.

The surviving night elves have fled to nearby Stardust Spire and vow revenge for the loss of the outpost.

The night elves thought Silverwind to be impenetrable, with its heavy defenses and their army of water elementals. However, during the Horde attack one of their mages was able to summon a twisted elemental designed to send the others into a chaotic rage. With the enraged water elementals attacking all they saw before them, victory was assured for the Horde.

History
Prior to The Shattering it was a night elven settlement that contained an alchemy trainer, an herbalism trainer, a hunter trainer, a pet trainer, quest givers, a skinning trainer, and vendors. It was under the protection of an elite guard known as the Sentinels and their army of water elementals.
