Dun Morogh is a snowy region located between the magma-strewn wasteland of the Searing Gorge to the south, the gentle ridges of Loch Modan to the east, and the swampy Wetlands to the north. Dun Morogh is home to both the gnomes of Gnomeregan and the Ironforge dwarves and is the location of the major city of Ironforge. The Khaz Modan mountains surround Dun Morogh on all sides, making it accessible only by certain passes that are currently watched over by dwarven troops.
Geography
Dun Morogh contains no raid dungeons, micro dungeons, or battlegrounds. Gnomeregan, an instanced dungeon for adventurers levels 28 to 35, can be found in the western part of the zone, beyond Brewnall Village. Dun Morogh is the starting area for the dwarves and gnomes, and so it contains a very sheltered 1-5 leveling area - Coldridge Valley. The dwarven city, Ironforge, can also be found in this zone, and is one of the major Alliance trade and travel hubs.

Notes, tips, and additional info
- Not on the map and featuring weather quite unlike the rest of the zone, Newman's Landing is a small dock and house. It is only accessible through swimming from the Wetlands.
- Dun Morogh has an airfield, although it is not accessible by normal means.
- The southernmost mountain is known to some as "Mount Mando." It is a common exploration point of those accessing the large empty area from a glitch in Stormwind City.
Patch changes
Patch 1.6.0 (2005-07-12): An Alliance-only graveyard has been added just outside of Ironforge, around the side of the mountain. It is only for use by Alliance characters that die inside Ironforge and in the Gates of Ironforge sub-area of Dun Morogh. Horde characters dying therein will continue to only use the Kharanos graveyard.
