Exploring Old Ironforge
The Hall of Thanes (aka Old Ironforge or the Assembly of Thanes) is a sealed area located under the dwarven capital of Ironforge.
Background
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. Brann Bronzebeard believes that as dwarves uncover more truths about their ancestry, they will find greater uses for the Iron Forge. He believes the titans must have given it to them for a reason.Template:Cite
In World of Warcraft
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 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.
Use caution when trying to enter Old Ironforge though, as you may receive a warning from a GM for doing so. You also run the risk of an account suspension.
