Gidwin Goldbraids is a dwarf that is a part of Fiona's Caravan. He is one of the two main protagonists of the Eastern Plaguelands storyline.

History[]

Cataclysm[]

Cataclysm This section concerns content related to Cataclysm.

Gidwin aspires to become a member of the Argent Crusade along with his friend/rival Tarenar Sunstrike. Gidwin is usually in the back of the caravan as Tarenar usually takes the front seat and teases him for being short. Despite this the two, with the help from an adventurer, are able to pass a series of tests and become members of the Argent Crusade.

Sometimes afterwards he becomes restless which leads him to rush off to fight the Scourge. At some point during his fight against the undead he was captured by scourge who, under Baroness Anastari, plan to turn him into a death knight.[1] While chained down in the Plaguewood Fiona and her companions (as the player is part of her companions) save him. He then thanks everyone, giving the player a Inv misc rune 01 [Hearthstone] to Light's Hope Chapel (which has only one use), saying he will return with Fiona's caravan, this time in the front seat.

Gidwin is also one of the dozens of past NPC's encountered by adventurers to assist in killing the elementals at Sethria's Roost.

Warlords of Draenor[]

Gidwin accompanied Fiona and Tarenar to Draenor with the Alliance forward party. Tarenar and Gidwin left to go fishing, but were attacked by the native botani; luckily, the local draenei Rangari arrived to aid them, and Tarenar carried Gidwin back to the caravan to recuperate. Gidwin was poisoned during the attack, but adventurers succeed in brewing the herbs and other oddities necessary to save his life.

Legion[]

Tarenar and Gidwin joined the reborn Knights of the Silver Hand at the Sanctum of Light beneath Light's Hope Chapel.

Dragonscale Basecamp gossip

Tarenar will probably skip over our grand adventure to talk about the Legion invasion if you ask him what we've been up to.

You know, we spent a lot of time at Light's Hope, but it was so jarring to see after fightin' demons all day long! I think that's part of why we took time off. We have a chance to get back to our roots and travel with Fiona and the others again.

Don't think I won't find myself a fight to get into while we're here, though! Something out there is waiting for us to find it...

Notes and trivia[]

  • Up until his appearance in Dragonflight, he was never tagged with the Argent Crusade reputation faction, despite joining them in the Eastern Plaguelands storyline.
  • Gidwin was initially planned to be a follower. He has an invisible Follower recruiting spell with the following description: Achievement character draenei male Follower: Gidwin Goldbraids — Artificer Romuul's hammer is as mighty as his knowledge of crystalworking. (the text is copied from Romuul's own recruiting spell)
  • His character may be inspired by Gimli from Lord of the Rings.
