Dun Modr

Dun Modr is an ancient fortified dwarven town in northern Wetlands, guarding the southern approach to the Thandol Span. Once a critical fortress held and contested across multiple wars, it has recently fallen to a hostile force of Dark Iron dwarves.

Situated at the northern edge of the Wetlands, Dun Modr commands the primary overland highway linking Khaz Modan with the northern human kingdoms. Because of this vital location, the stronghold has seen heavy bloodshed over the decades. During the Second War, the Orcish Horde captured and entrenched themselves within the dwarven fortress, using it as a forward staging ground to launch raids and repel Alliance armies. Stromgarde warriors launched a brutal amphibious assault from Tol Barad to reclaim it, only for the Orcs to strike back in a bloody tug-of-war. Alliance forces led by Lord Anduin Lothar ultimately drove the invaders south across the Thandol Span, restoring dwarven custody over the bastion.
