DUNGEON · LEVEL 13-18
Hall of Thanes
★ New in WoW Forever
Beneath Ironforge's throne room rest the ancient dwarven lords, and the Dark Hammer has invaded that sacred place to plunder it. The group makes its way through crypts with restless spirits, stone golems and Dark Iron dwarves to the Reliquary of Kings, where the disgraced thane awaits. It is a short dungeon, designed mainly for the Alliance, with the feel of an underground pantheon and forge fire.
How to get there
Ironforge: as you enter the High Seat, an open door immediately on the left leads to Old Ironforge; go all the way down to the bottom, where the portal is. No key or requirement. The Horde has to cross Hillsbrad, Arathi, the Wetlands and Loch Modan and get into Ironforge dodging the guards. Spirit healer right outside the city.
What changes in Forever
New WoW Forever dungeon: it didn't exist in Classic (Old Ironforge was closed off). Icy Veins, Wowhead and Warcraft Tavern agree on the 13-18 range. The beta loot requires level 13 to equip.
Bosses and loot
1Faldrim Anvilmar
Patrols Anvilmar Rest; interruptible Mind Blast and Curse of Anvilmar, which reduces the tank's attack speed.
2Magmatus
Comes with a Dark Iron Summoner (kill it first); Fire Nova around him and Combustion on a random player.
3Plunder
Patrols the room before the final boss; his knockback can throw you into other packs, better to pull him into the already-cleared room.
4Durgen Dirgehammer
Final boss in the Reliquary of Kings with two Lesser Stone Golems; AoE Fear and Rend on the tank.

Quests
| Quest | Faction | Where to pick it up |
|---|---|---|

| Important Heirlooms | Both | Thom Filch, Old Ironforge (Ironforge 32.6 44.6). Collect 8 dwarven relics; there are plenty in the chambers of the final room. |
| The Restless Dead | Alliance | Afadra Dunwall, Old Ironforge (Ironforge 34.0 48.8). Kill 15 Enraged Apparitions and 10 Tormented Souls. |
| Old Ironforge Incursion | Alliance | Earthseer Farsen, Gol'Bolar Quarry (Dun Morogh 64.8 58.4); you first have to do «Underground Map», which starts with the Dark Iron Map from the Dark Iron spies. Bring back Durgen Dirgehammer's head. |

Tips
- Clear the Enraged Apparitions in Anvilmar Rest before going for Faldrim: if he patrols in with them on top of you, the tank loses attack speed and threat.
- On Magmatus, all damage on the Dark Iron Summoner first, and the tank drags the boss away from the group so the Fire Nova doesn't catch the casters.
- In the Reliquary of Kings take your time: clear the edges, kill the golems before Durgen and open every chamber, since they hold the relics for «Important Heirlooms» and the treaty.
