Hall of Thanes: WoW Forever Dungeon Guide

What Blizzard has said about Hall of Thanes

In Blizzard’s What’s Next panel, Nora Mills described the Hall of Thanes as the royal tombs of the dwarven kings, broken into by someone who should not be there. Ghostly whispers run through the halls, and there are ancient treasures to protect. Blizzard’s suspicion points at the Dark Irons.

It is one of only two new dungeons Blizzard pitched to a faction: the Hall of Thanes is the Alliance’s, and Blizzard said the Horde will have to sneak in or fight its way in. How that works has not been explained, and the same goes for the Alliance and the Horde-facing Ruins of Lordaeron.

The level range comes from Kaivax’s September 15 forum post, which lists the official name as The Hall of Thanes at levels 13–18.

Where Hall of Thanes is

Blizzard places the dungeon beneath Ironforge, in Dun Morogh. Wowhead’s dungeon overview guide says the same and a reader adds a spot at the High Seat, coordinates 43, 51 — a player’s note, not something Blizzard has confirmed.

At 13–18 it is the earliest stop on the leveling route, a few levels before the Horde-facing Ruins of Lordaeron at 15–20.
