Depths of Shadowforge
With the Birth of Dagran Thaurissan II many years ago, the future of the people of Shadowforge City and all Dark Irons began to be set in stone: they would rejoin with and prosper alongside the Bronzebeard and Wildhammer Clans. Since the return of heroes from the Shadowlands, and the recent threat of the Primalists, the depths of Shadowforge City have definitely changed. While Dark Irons still hold the most sway and domination over the mountain, new faces have been able to be seen within the mountain city as well.

Synopsis:
The Depths of Shadowforge is a recent addition to the Moon Guard roleplay scene and is a predominantly Dark Iron guild. That being said, Shadowforge City has changed plenty and we seek to breathe some new life into it by having small bits of Fanon, and mostly building up an RP scene central to it. The guild itself focuses on kingdom, town, and military-style themes. However, we do not to seek to change the lore, represent all of the Dark Irons, and so on and so forth. Every member of the Depths of Shadowforge instead wants to help build up Dark Iron/Dwarf Roleplay and overall build up role-play in Khaz Modan.
Ranks and Sections:
The Depths of Shadowforge has 3 main sections, which are best viewed on our website. Any member is able to join all three, however ranks in the guild are based on progression via activity, event attendance, and overall being helpful. Not everyone can attend events, thus we do not wish to limit their progression in the guild.
Sections of the Guild:
- The Iron Legion: The Iron Legion of Shadowforge City is one of the more elite military regiments that the Dark Irons boast. Composed of a mixture of Pyromancers, Golemcrafters, and elite Warriors and Sharpshooters, it sets out to defend their mountain home from would-be invaders, as well as protect the Region of Khaz Modan.
- Guardians of the Black Anvil: The Guardians of the Black Anvil are a mix of Pyromancers, Blacksmiths, Priests, Warlocks, Shamans, and others who harness their magical might from the backlines. Additionally, they also provide support within the City of Shadowforge as healers, priests, shamans, and blacksmiths for the local people.
- Denizens of Shadowforge City: The Denizens of Shadowforge City are exactly that, Denizens. Composing the normal everyday citizens of Shadowforge, they are often Merchants, Craftsmen, and Patrons of the Grim Guzzler. Life in Stadowforge City isn’t perfect, but they make it the best that they can.

Events and Campaigns:

Our Current (and First) Military Campaign will be focusing on the “Heralds of Ragnaros”, a reborn group of remnants of the Cult of Ragnaros who are aligned with the Primalists. After a few kidnapping attempts, a small group of soldiers from Shadowforge City shall be sent out to handle the situation and continue to defend both Shadowforge City and Khaz Modan.
