The "Dragonlance" novels do not cover Goldmoon's childhood, although her birth date, February 5, 322 A.C. ("Alt Cataclius" or "After Cataclysm") can be found in the "Leaves from the Inn of the Last Home" source book. Different novels and short stories agree that her parents are Arrowthorn, Chieftain of the Que Shu—a tribe located in the plains of Abanasinia, a desolate area in the central western area of Ansalon in the fictional world of Krynn—and Tearsong, deceased high priestess of the tribe.
