Ruins of Lordaeron
A necromancer moved into the old capital. The Scourge never left.
Six bosses, two wave fights and a rare. Horde walks up from the Undercity. Alliance comes up from Southshore and sneaks in. Captain Truman waits just inside the entrance.
Get ready
Getting there
The dungeon is in the ruins of Lordaeron, above the Undercity. Horde can step out of the Undercity. Alliance travels from Southshore in Hillsbrad. Quests start at level 15.

What's new here
Brand new in WoW Forever
This dungeon has no Classic version, so there are no old guides for it. What's here comes from the beta and the first weeks of Forever. Blizzard is still tuning it, so check your tooltips.
Quest XP
Dungeon quests below level 40 pay extra XP in Forever. The 1 October build cut that bonus in half, but the quests are still worth picking up before you go in.
Mob XP
Dungeon mobs give about a third of their Classic XP. Quests are where the XP is. If anyone in the group is far above the mobs' level, nobody gets XP for those kills.
Group Finder
In Forever, Group Finder is a listing board, not a queue, and meeting stones don't summon. A Warlock and two other players can cast Ritual of Summoning at the stone.
