'''Stormwind Stockade''', aka '''The Stockade''', is a heavily guarded prison in the middle of [[Stormwind City]]. A large number of dangerous criminals, including some criminal masterminds and [[Defias]] mercenaries, are currently being held in the stockade. However, not so long ago, there was a revolt inside the dungeon, and the prisoners now keep the Stockade under their control.

Bring 5 Runic Keystone Fragments to [[Torthen Deepdig]] at the [[Westfall Brigade Encampment]].

==Description==
−
Recommended group composition is a competent and reasonably balanced group of players around level 27, with a decent level 27, at least, tank or very competent players for the final mini-boss.
 
  +
[[Brann Bronzebeard|Brann's]] journal mentions that he used a runic keystone to illuminate the important runes on the plate he discovered. Without the keystone, the plate's contents would be little better than gibberish.
   
  +
At the end of Brann's last entry, he describes the [[iron dwarf]] defenders seizing the keystone from him, shattering it, and dividing it among themselves. Before we can decipher the runed plate, we must hunt down the fragments. Any of the dwarves within [[Thor Modan]] or the buildings around it may carry fragments.

:''Stormwind Stockade is a high-security prison complex, hidden beneath the canal district of [[Stormwind]] city. Presided over by [[Warden Thelwater]], Stormwind Stockade is home to petty crooks, political insurgents, murderers and a score of the most dangerous criminals in the land. Recently, a prisoner-led revolt has resulted in a state of pandemonium within the stockade - where the guards have been driven out and the convicts roam free. Warden Thelwater has managed to escape the holding area and is currently enlisting brave thrill-seekers to venture into the prison and kill the uprising's mastermind - the cunning felon, [[Bazil Thredd]].''

==Notes, Tips, & Additional Info==
 
−
* Enemy Level Range: 23-26 elites
 
−
* Possibly the smallest instance in the game in terms of size, though due to the number of mobs in close quarters it can take as long as a full-sized instance to run with a level-appropriate group.
 
−
* Must be at least level 15 to enter the instance.
 
−
* Even though Horde players can enter this instance as well, due to its position and the quests it is often regarded Alliance-only. Horde players can however access it as normal through the [[Looking for Group|Looking for Dungeon]] tool.
 
−
* This is one of the few instances in the game where {{ability|Amplify Magic}} shines, as none of the enemies here use magical attacks (except Hamhock who uses Chain Lightning). If you have a mage with you, get him/her to use it so as to strengthen your healers.
 
−
* Due to the small area of the dungeon, [[fear effect|feared]] enemies and players can be fatal to your party if they run into a room full of enemies. Keeping enemy mobs from fleeing (e.g. {{ability|Hamstring}}) and dealing with fear effects from [[Dextren Ward]] ({{ability|Fear Ward}}, {{ability|Tremor Totem}}) can go a long way to ensuring your group's survival in this dungeon.
 
−
* Unlike most instances, Stormwind Stockade has exceptionally poor loot from bosses, with the exception of one rare spawn. This is believed to be because, being in the center of the human capital, it would be too easy to farm.
 
−
* This is a great place to farm for {{loot|common|Wool Cloth|wool}} as all of the mobs here drop it (almost always) and it usually drops in 2's and 3's.
 
−
* The Stockade is smaller than [[Deadmines]] but has about the same number of mini-bosses.
 
−
* Sometimes a group of {{npc||Defias Rioter}}s will come from the instance and attack the Guards and other players. They won't survive that long and it only lasts for about 5–10 seconds.
 
−
* Some treasure chests within the Stockade are locked. {{loot|common|Large Iron Bound Chest|s}} are locked and thus require a rogue, an engineer using [[Seaforium Charge]]s, or a blacksmith using [[Skeleton keys]] to open while [[Large Solid Chest]]s are not locked.

AllianceThe Runic Keystone
Start Torthen Deepdig
End Torthen Deepdig
Level 75 (Requires 73)
Category Grizzly Hills
Experience 20950
Rewards 5g 90s
Previous The Damaged Journal
Next The Runic Prophecies

Objectives

Bring 5 Runic Keystone Fragments to Torthen Deepdig at the Westfall Brigade Encampment.

Description

Brann's journal mentions that he used a runic keystone to illuminate the important runes on the plate he discovered. Without the keystone, the plate's contents would be little better than gibberish.

At the end of Brann's last entry, he describes the iron dwarf defenders seizing the keystone from him, shattering it, and dividing it among themselves. Before we can decipher the runed plate, we must hunt down the fragments. Any of the dwarves within Thor Modan or the buildings around it may carry fragments.

Rewards

You will receive: 5g 90s

Progress

Do you have enough of the fragments to reconstruct the keystone?

Completion

<Torthen works quickly to assemble the fragments you retrieved.>

This is incomplete, but it should still allow us to get most of the information from the plate.

Notes

Runic Keystone Fragements are dropped by the various Iron Dwarves in Thor Modan.
