Hall of Thanes has an announced level band of 13–18.[1] It lies beneath Ironforge.[2]

Beta: open in week 1.[3] See Beta guide for testing scope and Beta known issues for current issue reports.

Entrance and access

Enter Ironforge's High Seat, take the open passage on the left, and descend through Old Ironforge to the instance portal.[4]

The party capacity is 5: Forever build 1.60.1.70009 links map 3065 to a five-player difficulty record.[5] The announced 13–18 band is guidance for the dungeon, not a verified minimum entry level. Its location in an Alliance city does not establish an instance faction restriction. Check quest eligibility separately from access to the portal.

Encounters

Current written beta guides describe four bosses. The following is a concise preparation reference from Neryssa's Forever guide, not a build-certified combat log.[6]

Encounter Main concern Party response
Faldrim Anvilmar Mind Blast and an attack-speed curse Clear space around his patrol; interrupt Mind Blast.
Magmatus A Summoner companion and area Fire damage Defeat the Summoner first; keep the boss away from the party.
Plunder Knockback Position the fight so a knockback cannot send players into another pack.
Durgen Dirgehammer Two Lesser Stone Golems, Fear and Rend Clear the room's edges before engaging; focus down the golems before the boss.

Naming discrepancy: written guides call the second encounter Magmatus, and Wowhead's Forever NPC record uses that name for 261316.[7] The build 70009 DungeonEncounter table instead contains Infurnus (3495) alongside Faldrim, Plunder and Durgen for map 3065.[8] These are different source fields; the wiki has not established a rename or alias. The walkthrough names above follow the written guides.

Quest preparation

The following quest references now document Forever-specific objectives and reward choices from written sources:

Read the pickup notes before the run and check your current quest log. These are the five quests identified by the written dungeon guides; Underground Map is preparation for one of them.[4] Individual pages distinguish database fields from guide reports. The sources disagree on faction eligibility for Important Heirlooms: Wowhead's guide treats it as available to both factions, while Icy Veins' quest list labels it Alliance-only.[4][9] Confirm acceptance on your character; a quest's faction label is not an instance-entry requirement.

Rewards

These boss-to-item associations are listed in Wowhead's Forever guide. They are reported beta loot, without verified drop rates or a claim that every possible drop is listed.[4]

Boss Listed items
Faldrim Anvilmar Aetherwisp Bracers; Spiritwraith Drape; Ephemeral Choker
Magmatus Flamefist Grips; Kindlegem Girdle; Fang of Magmatus
Plunder Golemguard Chest; Treads of the Protector Golem; Golemheart Stave
Durgen Dirgehammer Robes of the Disgraced Thane; Direhammer Leggings; Durgen's Crescent Axe
