Dun Morogh
From CotH-Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchDun Morogh is the home of the gnomes of Gnomeregan and the Ironforge dwarves. It is surrounded by the Khaz Mountains, which make it accessible by only a few passages, that are heavily guarded by the dwarves. Troggs have recently overran Gnomeregan, the capital of the gnomes, and forced its citizens to seek shelter in Ironforge. A battle for reclaiming the city is currently in progress.
Dun Morogh is covered in snow. It is good place for finding furs, since there are lots of wolves and bears in the area. The main income of the inhabitants of this zone come from hunting, mining in the Trogg and Ice Troll infested mines and brewing ale. The area is the heart of Khaz Modan, because the capital of the kingdom - Ironforge - is located there.
