Revision as of 07:07, 26 April 2011
Old Ironforge (also known as the Hall of Thanes[1] or the Assembly of Thanes[1][2]) is an area located under the dwarven capital of Ironforge. It is here that Magni Bronzebeard attempted a titan ritual to commune with the earth and was turned into diamond.
Background
The Hall of Thanes is a massive, natural cavern complex. It is located in Ironforge's lowest depths. The area is a true marvel of organic stone formation: no dwarf has touched this area with pick or chisel. Ironforge's kings are buried in the Hall of Thanes, and the old throne is here as well. Also within this cavernous area is the ancient, weathered Iron Forge - perhaps the greatest titan artifact ever unearthed. The dwarves do not use this holy anvil, but keep it near their honored dead and the seat of their power. Brann Bronzebeard believes that as dwarves uncover more truths about their ancestry, they will find greater uses for the Iron Forge. He believes the titans must have given it to them for a reason.[1]
In World of Warcraft
Old Ironforge exists in-game, but cannot currently be accessed. In the High Seat of Ironforge, there is a door to the left of the entrance. This door leads to the underground chamber of Old Ironforge.
