Hall of Thanes
From the BlizzCon preview buildA burial chamber beneath the throne room of Ironforge. Dark Iron dwarves have tunnelled in to loot the tombs of its kings and woken restless spirits. Alliance-side, the counterpart to Ragefire Chasm. One of the two dungeons open in beta week one.
Where this comes from
This dungeon is open in the beta and people are running it. What follows comes from the beta client and from reports by those who were inside - not from a Blizzard announcement. Anything several sources report the same way independently is in; where they disagree, the disagreement sits under the open questions instead of a decision we are in no position to make. A build can change all of it tomorrow.
Faldrim Anvilmar
First boss - every beta report puts him first, and Blizzard's dungeon video of 14 October says so too
Reported, not confirmed
-
Mind Blast is the cast worth interrupting
He melees steadily and periodically casts Mind Blast for shadow damage. Reports agree that interrupts are held for it rather than spent on anything else.
Source: Beta guides and client data, build 1.60.1.69913 - reported the same way by several sources -
He stands among Enraged Apparitions and Tormented Souls
His room holds two trash types that are also a quest objective. Several reports warn about a patrol turning the pull into two packs at once.

Open questions
- Blizzard has named him only as the first boss, whose defeat opens the gates deeper into the hall - everything else comes from the beta client
- The full ability list, and what exactly his curse does
Loot
- Ephemeral Choker Neck Reported the same way repeatedly +4 Stamina, +2 Spirit
- Aetherwisp Bracers Wrist, cloth Reported the same way repeatedly No values reported
- Spiritwraith Drape Back, cloth Reported the same way repeatedly No values reported
Where this comes from matters: which boss drops what is not in the client. The table for it (CollectableSourceEncounter) is empty and loot is handed out server-side. The assignment below therefore comes from players who ran the dungeon and reported what dropped - several sites carry the same figures, which argues against coincidence but does not prove they are independent of each other. The item itself is read from the client. Where it says the values differ, sources give different figures; take the name, not the number.
Quests
- Important Heirlooms Alliance Picked up near the entrance, from Thom Filch.
- The Restless Dead Alliance Kill 15 Enraged Apparitions and 10 Tormented Souls - the same trash that stands around the first boss. Reports place the quest giver in two different spots in Ironforge.
- An Ancient Grudge Alliance From the Ghostly Attendant inside the dungeon, in the west wing.
- Old Ironforge Incursion Alliance The end of a chain out in Dun Morogh, not a quest at the door. Take Durgen Dirgehammer's head to King Magni Bronzebeard. Sharing fails for anyone who has not done the earlier step.
- Treaty of Understanding Alliance Started by an item in the final area, so it cannot be shared - everyone loots their own.
