Alterac Granite

When King Magni Bronzebeard ordered a monument to commemorate Sully Balloo—a brave dwarven defender who perished in the tragedy at the Thandol Span—ordinary quarry stone would not do. Grand Mason Marblesten, tasked with sculpting the memorial in Ironforge, insisted on obtaining Alterac Granite. Renowned as one of the finest stones available across the Eastern Kingdoms, its legendary durability ensures that the likeness and memory of a fallen hero can endure untarnished for generations.

Harvesting Alterac Granite is far from a simple errand. The stone rests around Darrow Hill in the northern reaches of the Hillsbrad Foothills, close to the ruined territories of Alterac. With the region rife with hostile wildlife, lurking syndicate brigands, and lingering strife, retrieving unblemished slabs of this pristine stone requires bold adventurers willing to venture deep into contested lands to secure it for Ironforge's artisans.
