The '''Deadmines''' are expansive, winding tunnels dug out under [[Westfall]] and part of northwestern [[Stranglethorn Vale]]. It is the lowest-level [[Alliance]] [[instance]], and is populated by members of the [[Defias Brotherhood]]. Its entrance can be accessed in the town of [[Moonbrook]] in southwestern [[Westfall]], while its exit is located in the western part of the [[Dagger Hills]] near the ocean. The Deadmines once were the center of the Defias operation, led by the ambitious [[Edwin VanCleef]], who was constructing a [[juggernaut]] at the bottom of the mines with the aid of the [[goblin]]s. His plans have been stopped by the Alliance militia and Edwin himself was killed and beheaded. It wasn't the end of the Brotherhood, however as his daughter, [[Vanessa VanCleef|Vanessa]] witnessed his death and several years after began to slowly rebuild the organization, waiting for a proper moment to strike back against the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Prior to the [[First War]], the Deadmines were the greatest gold-production center in human lands. However, they were abandoned during the First War. During that time, [[Lothar|Lord Lothar]] ventured into the perilous Deadmines on a quest to obtain the [[Tome of Divinity]] but was captured by a band of ogres and held captive for 20 months. He was ultimately rescued and successful in his mission. It was also to the dungeons below the Deadmines to which [[Blackhand|Blackhand's]] daughter [[Griselda]] fled with the ogre [[Turok]]. Both were slain by an orcish raid. At that time, many [[slime]]s inhabited the dungeons but have not been encountered lately.

The Deadmines are expansive, winding tunnels dug out under Westfall and part of northwestern Stranglethorn Vale. It is the lowest-level Alliance instance, and is populated by members of the Defias Brotherhood. Its entrance can be accessed in the town of Moonbrook in southwestern Westfall, while its exit is located in the western part of the Dagger Hills near the ocean. The Deadmines once were the center of the Defias operation, led by the ambitious Edwin VanCleef, who was constructing a Warrior talent icon skirmisher [Juggernaut] at the bottom of the mines with the aid of the goblins. His plans have been stopped by the Alliance militia and Edwin himself was killed and beheaded. It wasn't the end of the Brotherhood, however as his daughter, Vanessa witnessed his death and several years after began to slowly rebuild the organization, waiting for a proper moment to strike back against the Kingdom of Stormwind.

Prior to the First War, the Deadmines were the greatest gold-production center in human lands. However, they were abandoned during the First War. During that time, Lord Lothar ventured into the perilous Deadmines on a quest to obtain the Inv misc book 07 [Tome of Divinity] but was captured by a band of ogres and held captive for 20 months. He was ultimately rescued and successful in his mission. It was also to the dungeons below the Deadmines to which Blackhand's daughter Griselda fled with the ogre Turok. Both were slain by an orcish raid. At that time, many slimes inhabited the dungeons but have not been encountered lately.
