My WoW Journey

Dwarf Crest – Icon of The Forge

I have only had one Dwarf Character in World of Warcraft and that was a Priest, therefore so far I haven’t had a reason to make this into a World of Warcraft pendant but will be doing so to complete the range of Warcraft Racial Crests.

The reason I started a Dwarf Priest was to get the fear ward which as World of Warcraft raiders will know used to be a racial trait only available to Dwarves. As soon as that changed and it became available to all priests I transferred the character to my daughter as being from Scotland originally I couldn’t stand the awful caricature

The Dwarves of Ironforge live beneath the mountains of Khaz Modan. The Dwarves have always been strong allies to the humansand they revel in the prospects of battle and storytelling alike.

The Dwarves of Ironforge spent countless generations secure in their impregnable stronghold of Ironforge Mountain, rarely venturing beyond the peaks of Dun Morogh. However when the Orcs invaded Azeroth, they eagerly offered to join the Grand Alliance. The Dwarves proved to be the backbone of the Alliance forces and brought victory after victory. An integral part of the Grand Alliance, the rugged Dwarven armies have been called upon many times to battle the Horde in faraway lands.

The symbol of the Dwarves of Ironforge is known as The Icon of the Forge and displays a hammer and an anvil, symbolizing their skill as blacksmiths. The lightning bolts may refer to the Titans, who created the Earthen, who later became the Dwarves. These symbols represent the Dwarves in the Alliance Crest.
