Goldenmist Village is located in the northwestern area of the Ghostlands. Originally a high elven village, the Salonar sisters lived here,[1] and Sylvanas Windrunner had friends here.[2] Its inhabitants were slain during the coming of the Scourge, and for many years haunted the village ruins as ghosts.
History
The Burning Crusade
After the Fall of Quel'Thalas in 20 ADP, Goldenmist Village was taken by the ghosts of the high elves that used to live there, which was apparently the sorts of tactics that the Scourge like to employed. In Year 26 ADP, Arcanist Vandril tasked adventurers to kill the ghosts, giving the blood elves another step closer to taking their land back.[3]
Sylvanas
When Quel'Thalas joined the Horde and the faction leaders went to visit Silvermoon City, Sylvanas instead went through the Ghostlands and passed through the village. She killed its ghosts, making sure to check every home and kill every specter she could find. She wasn't sure if they would return or if she sent them to an afterlife, though.[2]
Three Sisters
A month after the end of the Argus Campaign in 32 ADP, the Windrunner sisters reunited and passed through the village and attacked its ghosts.[4]
Midnight
Years later, Goldenmist Village had been rebuilt and reinhabited. In addition to blood elves, it has a notable population of Nightborne. There is a vineyard and a winery, which were started by Areyn.

Speculation

This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

Since World of Warcraft: Sylvanas mentions Sylvanas not knowing if the defeat of the ghosts would be permanent, and the ghosts were present again during The Burning Crusade questing and Windrunner: Three Sisters, there is apparently some kind of a curse holding them bound to the area. Whatever the case, they are gone as of Midnight.
Patch changes
