Overview
Inside Ruins of Lordaeron
Scourge remnants still occupy the ruins, with a powerful necromancer among the forces holding them. The fighting reaches through haunted streets and into crypts, putting the city's unquiet dead at the center of the run. That mix of ruined city and burial grounds defines the setting.
The Forsaken want to reclaim their former home, and your group helps clear the way for their return. The goal is to take back ground still held by the dead. Each push through the ruins serves that larger effort to bring the shattered city back into Forsaken hands.
Getting there
Ruins of Lordaeron lies above the Undercity, in Lordaeron's shattered capital.

Before you go
Before you go

- Budget enough timeAllow about 35-45 minutes for a full clear. Leave extra time if your group is tackling the dungeon for the first time.
- Choose a pull callerAgree on who starts pulls before entering. Let that player set the pace so everyone moves on the same signal.
- Keep the group together when moving between the streets and crypts.
- Call for a recovery break before the next pull rather than after combat starts.
- Check your quest objectives before leaving so you can catch anything unfinished while the group is still together.
