Ironforge

Carved into the subterranean depths of Ironforge Mountain, the city is arranged in concentric stone rings radiating out from the monumental Great Forge. Originally founded millenia ago after the dwarves awakened and migrated from Uldaman, it has weathered ages of history, including the ancient War of the Three Hammers that left the Bronzebeard clan in sole control. Powered by cascading torrents of molten magma and fortified behind massive stone gates, the cavern city is equal parts industrial powerhouse and impenetrable bastion. Beyond dwarven craftsmen and warriors, its halls also host a substantial population of exiled gnomes following the recent fall of Gnomeregan.

In 25 ADP, Ironforge stands as perhaps the busiest center of commerce and industry across the Alliance. King Magni Bronzebeard presides over Khaz Modan from the High Seat, while dwarven prospectors, miners, and engineers work in concert with gnome refugees settled in Tinker Town. The subterranean Deeprun Tram establishes an unbroken, high-speed transit line beneath the mountains directly to Stormwind City, keeping both capitals tightly linked through trade, troop movements, and mutual defense.
