Hall of Thanes

Alliance dungeon (13-18) beneath Ironforge: the resting place of the dwarven monarchs of old, broken into by intruders.

Levels 13-18 · Phase Nov 4, 2026

Bosses

  1. Faldrim Anvilmar

    The spirit of an ancient dwarven thane, consumed by an old grudge. He is the target of the quest “An Ancient Grudge”. An easy fight, but he puts a nasty debuff on the tank: clear the enemies around him before pulling.

  2. Magmatus

    An elemental. Kill the summoner with him first, and tank him away from the group so his area damage hits no one.

  3. Plunder

    Another elemental, with a knockback that throws you far: position so nobody lands in an unpulled pack.

  4. Durgen Dirgehammer

    The Dark Iron commander, in the lower vaults. His head is what “Old Ironforge Incursion” asks for. He is the final boss (level 16) and fears: clear the enemies along the edges of the room, but not the golems, which pull him. He drops a sought-after one-handed axe, Durgen's Crescent Axe.

Lore

Beneath Ironforge, carved into the mountains of Dun Morogh, lies the Hall of Thanes, the final resting place of the dwarven monarchs of old. Well tended and mostly undisturbed, until now: someone has broken in, and the Dark Irons are the suspects. Ghostly whispers echo through its corridors.

What we know

  • It is already playable in the beta: 5 quests, available from level 9, and four bosses, the last one level 16. Regular enemies hit hard and give very little experience: the experience is in the quests (3,900-4,900 each).
  • The Alliance counterpart to the Horde's Ruins of Lordaeron.
  • “The dwarves I know would never let some Horde waltz right into their sacred burial chamber”: Horde players must sneak in or carve their way through (press).
  • It is the lowest-level new dungeon.
  • In demo achievements it appears as the counterpart to Ragefire Chasm (“Ragefire Chasm or Hall of Thanes”) (press).
  • Blizzard re-examined every dungeon drop: unique boss items are now blue, and some bosses drop advanced camping Blueprints.
