Gold

Gold is one of the most highly sought-after metals on Azeroth. Valued for its malleability and beauty, it is used as the primary currency of several nations.
==Locations==
Gold can be found everywhere in Azeroth, though its deposits are generally small.
*The dwarves of Khaz Modan often dig deep into the earth in search of the metal, finding rich veins that would otherwise be inaccessible to the other races of Azeroth.
*The Gold Coast of Westfall is known for its rich deposits of Gold, though most has already been mined by the Kingdom of Stormwind.
*Fargodeep Mine, though consistently troubled, is a highly productive mine when properly worked.
*Bannhurst, in Gilneas.
*The alluvial deposits of the Barony of Whitewater are a plentiful, though labour intensive, source of gold.
==Uses==
While gold is greatly valued, it is not the strongest of metals.
*It is most often forged into ornate jewelry and given as gifts to those of high status.
*Gold is also forged into Gold Bullion or coins and is used as currency by most nations of the Eastern Kingdoms.
*When used as a coloring agent, Gold can produce a deep red hue in glass.
*The engineers of Gnomeregan and the Goblin Cartels have recently discovered Gold's excellent properties as a conductor of electricity.
