Hall of Thanes

The Hall of Thanes is a dwarven hall beneath Old Ironforge, and its dead don't rest. Enraged apparitions and tormented souls fill it, the spirit of Faldrim Anvilmar waits to be put to rest, and Durgen Dirgehammer guards the end of the run.

It's a dungeon for your early teens, tied with Ragefire Chasm as the lowest-level dungeon in the game. For Alliance characters it's the first dungeon of the climb, a few levels before The Deadmines. Every quest objective is inside, and every boss has three blue items on its loot table.

The Hall of Thanes lies beneath Ironforge, the dwarven capital in Dun Morogh. Reach Ironforge by road through Dun Morogh, or ride the Deeprun Tram from Stormwind City.

Ironforge is Alliance territory, and three of the dungeon's four quests are Alliance quests.

Every objective is inside the Hall of Thanes, so stack all four quests before you zone in. Faldrim Anvilmar counts for two of them.

• An Ancient Grudge: put the spirit of Faldrim Anvilmar to rest.
• The Restless Dead: kill 15 Enraged Apparitions and 10 Tormented Souls, and put Anvilmar's spirit to rest.
• Important Heirlooms: collect 8 Dwarven Heirlooms.
• Old Ironforge Incursion: claim the Head of Durgen Dirgehammer, the final boss.

Every boss has three blue items on its loot table, and Durgen Dirgehammer drops one more common item. The standouts:

• Casters: Golemheart Stave from Plunder and Fang of Magmatus from Magmatus both add spell damage and healing. Robes of the Disgraced Thane from Durgen Dirgehammer is a cloth robe with Intellect and Spirit.
• Mail: Golemguard Chest and Treads of the Protector Golem, both from Plunder.
• Leather: Direhammer Leggings from Durgen Dirgehammer, with Agility and Stamina.
• Melee: Durgen's Crescent Axe from Durgen Dirgehammer, a main-hand axe.
• Neck and cloak: Ephemeral Choker and Spiritwraith Drape, both from Faldrim Anvilmar.
