Deeprun Tram

The Deeprun Tram is an subterranean marvel of gnomish engineering linking the Alliance capitals of Ironforge and Stormwind City. Commissioned by King Magni Bronzebeard following the Second War, it allows citizens and soldiers to cross vast distances beneath the earth in mere minutes. The enclosed twin tracks cut beneath mountain and lake, serving as a vital artery for Alliance military support and commerce.

Following the devastation of the Second War, King Magni Bronzebeard grew increasingly frustrated with how slowly dwarven aid and construction supplies reached Stormwind across the mountain passes. To solve the logistical hurdle and guarantee that dwarven soldiers could rapidly reinforce the human capital in times of crisis, Magni turned to High Tinker Gelbin Mekkatorque. The master gnomish engineer drafted designs for an enclosed underground railway powered by cutting-edge technology. Despite excavation complications—including cutting right through a vast subterranean lake and battling relentless infestations of underground rats—the tram became a crowning achievement of the Alliance, moving thousands of travelers free of charge between Ironforge and Stormwind.
