Dwarf Fortress

Dwarf Fortress is a Horde-only quest for level 10-30 in Southern Barrens. It is step 88 of 89 in the Southern Barrens storyline. The quest's turn-in marker is in Southern Barrens at 50.7, 86.8. It rewards 1 reputation reward, 4,100 experience and money.

Description

I don't know if you noticed on your way in, but this whole fortress is erected around a giant cannon. If we can just find the ammunition magazine, we could blow this place sky-high as easy as kiss-my-hand!

But to figure it out I'm going to need the fortress schematics, and I haven't been able to steal them yet.

Look for the plans on the lowest floor, right down these stairs.
