Ruins of Lordaeron Dungeon Guide

The ruined capital in Tirisfal Glades · Both factions; the story is the Forsaken's · 5 players

By Marc · Updated October 12, 2026

Built on the WoW Forever beta. Items, talents and stats can still change before launch on November 4, 2026, and for some new items it isn't known yet where they come from.

The Ruins of Lordaeron is one of WoW Forever's new dungeons, in the ruined capital above the Undercity. The Forsaken are pushing to take back parts of the old city, but Scourge forces still hold it, and a necromancer is preparing a new threat.

Both factions have quests here, the Horde about twice as many as the Alliance. Below are all of its quests with their rewards, and the loot each enemy drops, so you know what each run can give your character.

In the WoW Forever beta, its quests are level 21 to 22 and can be picked up from level 15, and its known loot needs level 15 to 19.

Quests to pick up before you go
