History

The people of Ironforge have stood beside the Alliance through wars that reached far beyond their mountain halls. Their own history is also a subject of exploration: ancient ruins and traces of titan workmanship invite questions about where they came from.

Culture

A carefully made weapon, a well-kept workshop and a story brought back from an expedition all command respect. Smiths, miners, mountaineers and explorers express the same stubborn confidence in very different ways.

Origins and homeland

Dun Morogh surrounds Ironforge with snow-covered slopes and deep valleys. The city is carved into the mountain, where the warmth of the Great Forge contrasts with the cold waiting beyond its gates.

Starting journey

The ordinary adventure starts in Coldridge Valley and then moves toward the settlements of Dun Morogh. Racial traits such as Stoneform are shown with their historical descriptions below, rather than effects borrowed from another edition. Death Knight starts elsewhere.
