Dark Iron Scheming

Dark Iron Scheming is an Alliance-only quest for level 1-30 in Dun Morogh. It is step 23 of 30 in the Dun Morogh storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Dun Morogh at 82.9, 48.4. It rewards 4 reward items, 2 reputation rewards, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

A cadre of Dark Iron spies have taken over Ironband's Compound to the south, beyond Helm's Bed Lake. The mountaineers are normally able to keep them from getting into Dun Morogh, but everything is in disarray right now.

The Dark Iron dwarves would be fools if they didn't take advantage of the chaos. We have to find out what they're planning and stop them before they do any damage.

Will you see if you can discover what they're doing down at Ironband's Compound?

Before this quest

  • Entombed in IceDun Morogh · Level 1-30

    Khurgorn tells me the cataclysm upset the balance of the elements all over the world. Helm's Bed Lake, to the south, used to be beautiful and tranquil, but it is now overrun with agitated water elementals.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • Get to the AirfieldDun Morogh · Level 1-30

    According to the plans you captured, the Dark Irons are planning a large-scale attack on the Ironforge Airfield! The council has moved most of our forces down into Dun Morogh to deal with the instability brought by the cataclysm, leaving our defenses weakened at the airfield.
