Best way to reach him is to swim up the Thondroril River or take the path that follows the river which starts near 13.8,60.9.

Alternatively, you can go through the Terrorweb Tunnel if you happen to be in the north-western part of EPL, but that will make you go through the spiders you'll have to kill a few minutes later for the first quest Gidwin gives you.

The starting location for the quest was incorrect for me. I found Fiona at 9,66, near the Thondroril River flight point (Alliance). I've not done any other quests in Eastern Plaguelands (since 4.0.3), so this may be a phasing issue.

I did all the questline while leveling my alt lock and I just have to share my opinion on this chain. It's impressive and beautiful. When you finally get to kill the baroness and free little dwarf paladin.. That movie.. I was like Oh My God! Really impressive, thanks Blizzard.

Be ready to take one to the face...

When I found him, he was being guarded by a 41- rare spawn Nebian Overseer.

I love this quest chain so much that I've done it on every character of mine: thus far a blood elf, human, and a worgen - all males. As I began to go for number four, I noticed something interesting.

When I started the quest with my female worgen, when I found Gidwin he asked "Fiona, is that you?" instead of asking for Tarenar like with my other characters. Sounds like his question changes depending on what gender your character is.

Gidwin Goldbraids

Find Gidwin Goldbraids in Eastern Plaguelands.

Description

I love my boys, don't get me wrong. But I TOLD them that I needed FIVE MINUTES to water and brush the horses, and what did they do? They made a stupid bet with each other and ran off! I should have known better... this always happens.

Gidwin's the short one. He headed north, along the river. If you're headed that direction, would you tell him to come back? We've got to get to Light's Hope Chapel, and I'm not against leaving without him.
