History of Dwarves: Heirs of the Earthen Giants
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru
Dwarves are the sturdy mountain people of the Alliance, masters of stone, steel and runes. Their homeland is the harsh snowy mountains of Dun Morogh, and their heart is the majestic fortress-city of Ironforge.
Dwarves and gnomes share a starting zone — Dun Morogh, with the common capital of Ironforge.
The Titan Legacy
Dwarves were not always flesh. According to excavations, they descend from the earthen — beings of living stone shaped by the titans deep within the world. The curse of flesh, which changed all titan-forged creatures, turned them into a short but sturdy people who forgot their roots. Unraveling this mystery is the dwarves' great passion.
Ironforge and the Three Hammers
For ages the dwarves lived beneath the mountain in Ironforge, split into three great clans. A dispute over rule erupted into the War of the Three Hammers:
| Clan | Fate |
|---|---|
| Bronzebeard | Victorious, rule Ironforge |
| Wildhammer | Exiled, settled Grim Batol and the highlands |
| Dark Iron | Exiled, went beneath Blackrock Mountain, became foes |
The victorious Bronzebeard clan, led by King Magni Bronzebeard, rules Ironforge to this day. The exiled Dark Iron settled deep in Blackrock Mountain and became sworn enemies.
Discovering the Titan Legacy
Everything changed with the discovery of Uldaman — an ancient titan vault. The dwarves learned the truth of their origin and founded the Explorers' League, whose expeditions across Azeroth unearth ruins and artifacts. Archaeology became a national passion.
The Light and the Alliance
Dwarves embraced the Holy Light and gave the world its first dwarven paladins and priests. Loyal allies, they were among the first to answer humanity's call and join the Alliance, sharing Ironforge with the gnomes after the fall of Gnomeregan. Their cannons, gyrocopters and gryphons are a weighty force for the union.
