Ironband's Compound

Ironforge smith Tormus Deepforge seeks vengeance for his mentor, Sturgy Ironband, whose remote teaching outpost in eastern Dun Morogh fell to a sudden and bloody assault. The slaughter followed the arrival of a rare umbral ore shipment, which immediately drew the violent attention of the Dark Iron dwarves.

My mentor, Sturgy Ironband, had a compound south of Helm's Bed Lake in eastern Dun Morogh. There he taught blacksmithing and he was the best.

But one day, one of his students brought him a load of strange ore. Master Ironband called it umbral ore and was eager to work with it, but soon after it arrived... A band of Dark Iron dwarves attacked his compound. They killed everyone!

Enter Ironband's compound, friend, and avenge my master's death. And bring me the load of umbral ore that caused it.

You found it! Well done!

I hope you killed a host of Dark Iron dwarves while searching. I fear that Ironband's compound won't be the last place we see them.

But thank you for the ore, friend. I'm eager to work it and find its properties.
