Ruins of Lordaeron quests in WoW Forever: Horde and Alliance checklist

All ten Ruins of Lordaeron quests on two tick-off lists, one per faction, with the Horde prerequisites, 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 Ruins of Lordaeron is a level 15-20 dungeon in the ruined city above the Undercity, with six Horde quests and four Alliance quests, available from level 15 or 16. Horde players should finish two prerequisite chains first (Rear Guard Patrol for The Wrath of Rath'mael, A Recipe for Death for The New Plague) and pick up two quests in the Undercity and Silverpine. Alliance players pick up everything inside. In the dungeon, kill Witherfang for the plague strain and The Baron for his head, look for the Crest, kill Rath'mael, then find Edward Heartweaver's body in his graveyard. Jump to the Horde checklist or the Alliance checklist.

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

Before you enter: Horde prerequisites and pickups

Tirisfal Glades: on the road between Brill and the Undercity, take the two Rear Guard Patrol quests from Deathguard Linnea, next to Deathguard Kristof. Once they are done, Kristof gives The Wrath of Rath'mael.
Silverpine Forest, The Sepulcher: do the A Recipe for Death chain that starts with Apothecary Renferrel; it leads to The New Plague from Theodore Griffs in the Undercity's Apothecarium. While at the Sepulcher, take A Frightened Request from Tabitha Heartweaver.
Undercity, Royal Quarter: take Light's Justice from Morbin Lightbane. It and A Frightened Request are shareable.

Alliance players have no pickups: Captain Truman stands on the left as you enter, and the other three Alliance quests start from items in the dungeon.

Ruins of Lordaeron quest order inside the dungeon

Throughout: collect Intact Limbs (Horde, 25) and Bloodied Insignias (Alliance, 10) from the undead as you clear, and check the Crest of Lordaeron spots listed below.
Witherfang: loot the Highly Toxic Strain (The New Plague).
The Baron: Alliance loot his head for Abominable Creatures; Horde get the Abominable Head, which starts the Unending Torment chain.
Viktor the Vile and The Abandoned: hidden encounters, started from a fireplace and a statue. No quest on this page needs them.
Bjork: patrols on the main path, so you meet him on the way. No quest needs him.
Rath'mael: the last boss, for The Wrath of Rath'mael.
Rath'mael's graveyard: after the fight, check the west side of the graveyard, by a pack of ghouls and a gravestone, for Edward Heartweaver's body. Horde complete A Frightened Request here; Alliance pick up the Crumpled Paper next to it, which starts Remember That I Love You.

Where the Crest of Lordaeron can spawn

The Crest appears at one of five spots per run. Warcraft Tavern lists them as follows (Warcraft Tavern):

South from the entrance to the fountain, then right: open the crypt door, and the Crest is on the wall behind the Banshee that appears.
In the tower to the right of Bjork's patrol, on the floor below the stairs.
Behind Bjork's patrol area, on the wall.
South from the entrance, in the tower left of the spiders, on the outside wall at the top.
Just past The Abandoned, up the tower, on the outside wall at the top.

Unending Torment continues in the Undercity after the dungeon, in five steps (Warcraft Tavern, Wowhead):

Give the Abominable Head to Master Apothecary Faranell in the Apothecarium.
Take the head to the Unfinished Abomination just north of him and leave it beside the body.
Report back to Faranell.
Gather three ingredients: Toxic Skullcap from Tawny Grisette in the upper Trade Quarter, Blisterweed from a pot behind the herbalists, and Essence of Agony from Ezekiel Graves in the Rogues' Quarter. Bring them to Faranell.
Pour the Hissing Serum onto the abomination from the railing above it, then return to Faranell.

It is a short city chain, not more dungeon runs.

Ruins of Lordaeron location and entrance

Blizzard places the dungeon in the ruins above the Undercity in Tirisfal Glades (Blizzard). Go through the front gate of the ruined city, look left before you reach the throne room, and take the stairs up to the entrance (Warcraft Tavern). Horde players are a short walk away from the Undercity. Alliance groups have to cross into Horde territory, usually through Hillsbrad and Silverpine Forest, then north into Tirisfal.

Ruins of Lordaeron bosses and what each quest needs

Boss	Quest that needs it
Witherfang	The New Plague (Horde)
The Baron	Abominable Creatures (Alliance); starts Unending Torment (Horde)
Viktor the Vile (hidden, fireplace)	None

Bjork	None
Rath'mael	The Wrath of Rath'mael (Horde)

Sources and how we checked

Level range and location are from Blizzard. Quest names, faction, required level, quest level and XP are from the Forever quest database on Wowhead; quest givers, objectives, the boss order and the Crest spots were cross-checked against Warcraft Tavern's guides. Everything is written in our own words. Warcraft Tavern gives the dungeon's range as 15-22; we use Blizzard's 15-20. We have not timed or run the dungeon ourselves. Seen a change after a hotfix?

FAQ

How many quests does the Ruins of Lordaeron have?

Ten quest entries, counting the Unending Torment chain once: six for the Horde (Light's Justice, A Frightened Request, The Wrath of Rath'mael, The New Plague, Crest of Lordaeron and the Unending Torment chain) and four for the Alliance (Abominable Creatures, Bloodied Insignia, Remember That I Love You and Crest of Lordaeron).

What level is the Ruins of Lordaeron?

Blizzard lists it as a level 15-20 dungeon in the ruins above the Undercity (Blizzard). Wowhead lists every quest on this page as accepted from level 15, and the Forever quest database lists them as level 21-22 quests (Wowhead). Warcraft Tavern lists six of them at level 16 instead of 15; see the note under the checklist.

Can Alliance players run the Ruins of Lordaeron?

Yes. Blizzard says Alliance groups can do it but have to travel into Horde territory to reach it (Blizzard). All four Alliance quests start inside the dungeon, so there is nothing to pick up before you go. The Alliance dungeon at this level near home is the Hall of Thanes.

Which Horde quests need work before the dungeon?

Two. The Wrath of Rath'mael needs two Rear Guard Patrol quests from the NPC next to Deathguard Kristof in Tirisfal Glades, and The New Plague needs the A Recipe for Death chain in Silverpine Forest. Do both before you form the group, or you will kill Witherfang and Rath'mael without credit.

Where is the Crest of Lordaeron?

It spawns at one of five places inside the dungeon; the five spots are listed in the quest order section above. Both factions get a quest from it: Horde hand it to Oran Snakewrithe in the Undercity, Alliance to Lady Dena Kennedy in Stormwind Keep.
