Ironforge

This is the capital city for the Dwarven and Gnomish races, and it located in northern-dentral Dun Morogh. You can access it via a path north of Kharanos. The path leaves the main path and goes east up into the mountains.

The Deeprun Tram connects Stormwind and Ironforge, allowing direct travel between the two cities without cost or risk of attack by NPC creeps.

Who goes to Darnassus anyway?

Just in case anyone else was looking for some info on the Hall of Thanes, I'll put it up; just because so many people want to get there today :)

The Hall of Thanes is a massive, natural cavern complex. It is located in Ironforge’s lowest depths. The area is a true marvel of organic stone formation: No dwarf has touched this area with pick or chisel. Ironforge’s kings are buried in the Hall of Thanes, and the old throne is here as well. Also within this cavernous area is the ancient, weathered Iron Forge — perhaps the greatest titan artifact ever unearthed. The dwarves do not use this holy anvil, but keep it near their honored dead and the seat of their power.LOC 76,77

The area contains:

The Hall of Thanes, where the past Kings of Ironforge are buried.(Note that the RPG implies that Hall of Thanes is the name of Old Ironforge rather than just being a location within Old Ironforge.)

The Old Throne

The object for which Ironforge is named, the Iron Forge, an ancient Titan artifact.

Old Ironforge exists in game, but it is not accessible through normal means, and as a closed area, contains no NPCs, items, or other such content. In the High Seat area of Ironforge, there is a hidden door behind Deliana. This hidden door leads to a long hallway descending to the underground chamber of Old Ironforge. Old Ironforge consists of a large column of stone in a pool of lava. At the top is a carpeted platform, and a path winds down around the column to two closed doors. The ceiling features large purple crystal formations.

There are several ways of getting into Old Ironforge that were known to work in the past. Blizzard periodically implements workarounds to prevent access to closed zones, so now some of them may have been fixed.

The first is to start a duel with a mage behind the pole outside of the bank in Ironforge. QUICKLY run into the back of the king's room (it is close enough to where the original duel started, so the duel will not cancel). Run up next to the door and have the mage sheep you. If all goes well, you will wander under the door and the sheep will break. If not, try it again.

This is an alternative to the first way. You'll also need a mage friend. Starting facing the bank in Ironforge, take the passageway to the right so it goes to the Great Forge. Find the second corner on your left after you exit the passageway. The corner should look like a direct right angle on the map. To make sure you have the right corner, look on the map and imagine it as an arrow. The arrow should be facing north-west. If your there, jump and press forward against it. Eventually you'll get the hang of it and keep jumping up until your head reaches the ceiling, or a tad bit close to it. The mage must get there too. Then start a duel with a mage, and run up next to the door and have the mage sheep you. Repeat until you wander under the door and the sheep breaks on the other side.

Alternatively, if you're a mage or a priest, go to the farm in the hills above the Wetland's Farm via the Ironforge Airstrip. Be sure to bring some Light Feathers with you. Find the tunnel that goes nowhere (drops off to nothingness). Face the great forge in Ironforge and use a speed booster (epic mount and sprint were confirmed to work) after using a slow fall spell (mage Slow Fall or priest Levitate) and jump in that direction. After approximately 30 seconds, you will find yourself swimming. Swim up, and have the camera above you at all times so you can see where the top is. The next step is to swim into the tunnel that goes to Old Ironforge, but it takes time and a few tries to figure out how to get into that. Note that, as of the patch 2.0.3, you can no longer do this with Noggenfogger because Noggenfogger's slow fall duration was lowered to 15 seconds. Also note that you can not use a combination of the Noggenfogger Elixir and the Cape of Slowfall in this method, you do not have a long enough period of slowfall time to make
