City of Dalaran quests in WoW Forever: Alliance and Horde checklist

All eight City of Dalaran quests on two tick-off lists, one per faction, with the Horde Tarren Mill key chain, the Sewer Key, in-dungeon order and turn-ins, plus a live check that Forever's servers are up before you form a group.

Updated November 11, 2026 · Live server check on this page

In short: the City of Dalaran is a level 28-33 dungeon in the Alterac Mountains that you enter through the sewers from Silverpine Forest. It has four Alliance and four Horde quests. Alliance players take An Alarming Request in Southshore and get the Dalaran Sewer Key from the Image of Archmage Modera at the entrance. Horde players first finish a four-step key chain from Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill (level 30). Inside, kill Atrexis in the sewers, then clear the streets for remnants and sentry cores, pick the fel blossom in Runeweaver Square, kill Arcanic Enigma, and end with Shade of the Archmage for the Arcane Mote. Jump to the Alliance checklist, the Horde checklist or the Horde key chain.

Before you form a group: are Forever servers up?

From Blizzard's realm-status service, checked by us every minute; this box refreshes itself while the page is open, and each region shows its own last check. A region older than 5 minutes shows Unknown. "Online in our log" is our own figure: ruleset checks that came back online divided by all ruleset checks we recorded for that region since the date shown. Minutes with no answer from Blizzard are not counted. It is not a Blizzard figure and not a login success rate. Full live status

Horde key chain: Tarren Mill to the Dalaran Sewer Key

Horde players are not welcome in Dalaran at first, so the key comes at the end of a short chain from Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill, Hillsbrad Foothills (61.5, 20.9). You need level 30 to start it.

Prison Break In and Key to the City (take both together). Both are done at the Lordamere Internment Camp outside Dalaran. Prison Break In needs four Bloodstone pieces that four named prisoners always drop: Dermot (Bloodstone Wedge) and Alina (Bloodstone Shard) in the roofless house at about 18.4, 91.4, Ricter (Bloodstone Marble) in the yard in front of it at about 19.5, 91.2, and Kegan Darkmar (Bloodstone Oval) upstairs in the more intact house outside the palisade at about 16.7, 89.3. They are slow to respawn. Key to the City needs the Grimy Key from the Warden's Footlocker on the ground floor of Kegan's house, guarded by Warden Belamoore.
Return to Wordeen in Tarren Mill (61.5, 20.9) with both and take Dalaran Patrols.
Dalaran Patrols. Kill 6 Dalaran Summoners and 8 Elemental Slaves in the Old Dalaran ruins at about 26.0, 61.8. Elemental Slaves are immune to bleeds.
Return to Wordeen again to hand in Dalaran Patrols and take Blood in the Streets.
Blood in the Streets. Go to the Image of Archmage Modera by the sewer entrance (68.5, 45.1) and talk to her. She then gives you Heart of Disruption and the Dalaran Sewer Key.

Coordinates and the prisoner locations are from Warcraft Tavern (Warcraft Tavern). Keeper Bel'varil in the same Tarren Mill house offers Stone Tokens and then Bracers of Binding; neither is needed for the key.

Alliance unlock and pickups

Hillsbrad Foothills, Southshore: take An Alarming Request from Emissary Jacques (48.3, 60.1), level 30. It sends you to the Image of Archmage Modera at the sewer entrance (68.5, 45.1), who gives Heart of Disruption, Starving Arcane and the Dalaran Sewer Key.
Stormwind, Mage Quarter: take Power Overwhelming from High Sorcerer Andromath at the top of the Wizard's Sanctum (48.9, 87.7).
Stormwind, The Park: take A Green Sample from Shylamiir, the herbalism trainer (31.4, 63.0).

Horde players also pick up The Grave Knight from Melisara in Tarren Mill (62.6, 20.6) while doing the key chain, and Source of Power from Doctor Martin Felben in the Undercity Apothecarium (46.4, 74.3). Opportunistic Education starts inside the dungeon.

City of Dalaran quest order inside the dungeon

Entrance, Cantrips & Crows: Horde turn right straight away to take Opportunistic Education from Rexxie Copperclutch. Cross the bridge and turn right for the intended path; the locked door up on the left leads straight to the Violet Citadel.
The Underbelly (sewers): Atrexis the Grave Knight stands in a summoning circle among undead. Horde need him for The Grave Knight.
Sewer exit: a side room holds the summoning circle for Lyn the Ignored, a secret boss that needs a Tome of Dalaran. No quest needs it.
City streets: from here on, kill the Seeking Remnants, Saturated Remnants and Mana Echoes you meet (Alliance, Starving Arcane) and the Fragmented Sentry golems (Horde, Source of Power). Warcraft Tavern suggests going left first to Mana Devourer in the Violet Hold, then Arcane Anomaly at the old Krasus' Landing.
Runeweaver Square: talk to Magus Fansy Goodbringer on the east side to drop the shield and fight Fel Ancient. Alliance pick the Fel Infused Blossom from the green bulbs here (A Green Sample).
Path of Renewal: Arcanic Enigma patrols the north-east of town. Alliance need it for Power Overwhelming.
Silver Enclave, Atrium of Fortune: Horde take The Founding of Dalaran from the bookshelves at the far end, past the Angry Tomes.
Magus Commerce Exchange: Unstable Sentry waits in a nook. No quest needs it.
Violet Citadel: talk to Archmage Modera on the steps; she opens a portal to the Violet Chamber. Kill Shade of the Archmage and loot the Arcane Mote for Heart of Disruption (both factions).

Order of the street bosses follows Warcraft Tavern's dungeon guide (Warcraft Tavern). Horde: pass Rexxie on the way out to hand in Opportunistic Education.

City of Dalaran turn-ins and follow-ups

Faction	Where	Turn in
Horde	Inside: Rexxie Copperclutch at the entrance	Opportunistic Education (Horde)
Alliance	Silverpine Forest: Image of Archmage Modera, sewer entrance (68.5, 45.1)	Heart of Disruption, Starving Arcane; she then gives Friend of the Kirin Tor
Alliance	Dalaran: Archmage Celindra, Violet Citadel (14.2, 60.1)	Friend of the Kirin Tor (deliver the Arcane Mote)
Alliance	Stormwind: High Sorcerer Andromath, Shylamiir	Power Overwhelming, A Green Sample
Horde	Tarren Mill: Magus Wordeen Voidglare (61.5, 20.9), Melisara (62.6, 20.6)	Heart of Disruption, The Grave Knight; Wordeen then gives Shrewd Negotiations
Horde	Silverpine Forest: Image of Archmage Modera (68.5, 45.1)	Shrewd Negotiations (deliver the Arcane Mote)
Horde	Undercity: Doctor Martin Felben, Apothecarium	Source of Power

Warcraft Tavern says Shrewd Negotiations gives the Horde only a promise of future access to the city. During the beta the Horde quest worked differently and did let Horde players inside (Warcraft Tavern).

City of Dalaran quest XP

Base XP per quest from the "Gains" line on each quest's Wowhead Forever page (read on 2026-11-11). These are database values, not what we were awarded in game: the XP you actually get may differ with your character level and any XP modifiers. Key to the City shows no XP on its page.

An Alarming Request (required lead-in)	Alliance	33	660	92432
Heart of Disruption	Alliance	33	9,400	92458

Stone Tokens (optional, not needed)	Horde	33	2,650	556
Bracers of Binding (optional, after Stone Tokens)	Horde	33	2,650	557

Our sum of the listed figures: Alliance 38,530 XP for the four dungeon quests, An Alarming Request and Friend of the Kirin Tor; Horde 43,490 XP for the four dungeon quests, the key chain (without Key to the City, which lists none) and Shrewd Negotiations. The optional Stone Tokens and Bracers of Binding would add 5,300 XP. We added these up ourselves from the database entries; they are not Blizzard figures.

City of Dalaran location and entrance

Blizzard places the dungeon in the Alterac Mountains (Blizzard), but both factions enter through the sewers from the Silverpine Forest shore of Lordamere Lake, at about 69.3, 45.6 (Warcraft Tavern). The Image of Archmage Modera stands next to it. Alliance players usually run from Southshore. Once the Horde have the key, the quickest way is from the Sepulcher in Silverpine Forest with a short swim. The run starts in the Cantrips & Crows tavern in the sewers and ends at the Violet Citadel.

Lyn the Ignored (secret)	Side room by the sewer exit; needs a Tome of Dalaran	None

Arcanic Enigma	Path of Renewal	Power Overwhelming (Alliance)
Unstable Sentry	Magus Commerce Exchange	None

The Tome of Dalaran for Lyn the Ignored starts as the Black Tome at the end of Shadowfang Keep, according to Warcraft Tavern.

Sources and how we checked

Level range and location are from Blizzard. Quest names, faction, required level, quest level, shareable flag and XP are from each quest's page in the Forever quest database on Wowhead; quest givers, coordinates, objectives and the boss order were cross-checked against Warcraft Tavern's guides and Wowhead's dungeon guide. Everything is written in our own words. Warcraft Tavern gives the range as 28-35 and Wowhead's guide as 28-34; we use Blizzard's 28-33. We have not timed or run the dungeon ourselves.

FAQ

How many quests are in the City of Dalaran?

Eight dungeon quests: four for the Alliance (Heart of Disruption, Starving Arcane, Power Overwhelming and A Green Sample) and four for the Horde (Heart of Disruption, The Grave Knight, Source of Power and Opportunistic Education). The two Heart of Disruption quests are separate quests with the same name. On top of that, the Horde has a four-step key chain in Tarren Mill, and each faction gets one short follow-up after Heart of Disruption.

What level is the City of Dalaran?

Blizzard lists it as a level 28-33 dungeon in the Alterac Mountains (Blizzard). In the Forever quest database the dungeon quests can be accepted from level 24, but An Alarming Request and the Horde key chain need level 30, so Heart of Disruption and Starving Arcane effectively start at 30 (Wowhead). Warcraft Tavern gives the range as 28-35 and Wowhead's guide recommends 28-34.

How do I get the Dalaran Sewer Key?

The Image of Archmage Modera outside the sewer entrance in Silverpine Forest gives it to you with Heart of Disruption. Alliance players only need An Alarming Request from Emissary Jacques in Southshore first. Horde players must finish the Tarren Mill chain from Magus Wordeen Voidglare: Prison Break In and Key to the City, then Dalaran Patrols, then Blood in the Streets.

Does everyone in the group need the key?

No. Warcraft Tavern says at least one player in a Horde group needs the key to get in, and Wowhead's guide says only one person has to open the gate for the others (Wowhead). Each player still needs their own Heart of Disruption to get its reward.

Do I need Stone Tokens for the Horde chain?

No. Keeper Bel'varil stands in the same house as Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill, but Warcraft Tavern says Stone Tokens and its follow-up Bracers of Binding are not part of the key chain. The tokens drop from rare guards around the Lordamere Internment Camp, so you can skip them.

Can I get every quest done in one run?

Not always. Warcraft Tavern found too few Seeking Remnants, Saturated Remnants and Mana Echoes for Starving Arcane in a single run, and says the six Cracked Sentry Cores for Source of Power are unlikely in one run unless you are the only player on the quest. Plan on a second run for those two.
