The quick answer
Six of the nine dungeons are in the Eastern Kingdoms, from the Hall of Thanes beneath 
Ironforge to Krol'dok Stronghold in Riverglades, and three are in Kalimdor: Alcaz Prison, Blackmaw Hold and Shaper's Terrace. Blizzard marks the Hall of Thanes as an easy walk for Alliance, the Ruins of Lordaeron for Horde, and City of Dalaran as requiring an attunement questline for both factions.

World of Warcraft: Forever adds nine five-player dungeons for levels 13 through 60, six in the Eastern Kingdoms and three in Kalimdor. Blizzard’s dungeon overview places each one on the map. The level brackets alone are in the level range article; this guide covers where Blizzard places each dungeon and which faction has an easy walk.
Dungeons in the Eastern Kingdoms
| Dungeon | Levels | Where Blizzard puts it |
|---|---|---|
| Hall of Thanes | 13–18 | Beneath Ironforge, Dun Morogh |
| Ruins of Lordaeron | 15–20 | The ruined city above the Undercity, Tirisfal Glades |
| Excavation Site | 24–29 | Above Whelgar’s Excavation in the Wetlands; the detail section says near Thelgen Rock and Dun Algaz |
| City of Dalaran | 28–33 | Alterac Mountains |
| The Drowned City | 35–40 | Off the coast of Stranglethorn Vale, west of Grom’gol |
| Krol’dok Stronghold | 40–45 | Riverglades |
The Hall of Thanes is a dwarven burial hall where suspected Dark Iron intruders have broken in. The Ruins of Lordaeron is a Forsaken effort to reclaim the shattered city, with reports of a necromancer gathering power. The Excavation Site lies beyond a dig site, in a place Blizzard describes as seemingly frozen in time, guarded by titan constructs and dangerous wildlife.
City of Dalaran has the magical barrier down and enchantments backfiring. After earning the Kirin Tor’s trust, your group enters through the sewers and chooses among multiple paths. The Drowned City is a set of risen troll ruins where you dive below the water to find the entrance, and the open-air dungeon changes as mist and rain build into a storm. Krol’dok Stronghold is a sprawling ogre fortress in Riverglades, with strange chanting heard after nightfall.
Dungeons in Kalimdor
| Dungeon | Levels | Where Blizzard puts it |
|---|---|---|
| Alcaz Prison | 48–53 | Alcaz Island, Dustwallow Marsh |
| Blackmaw Hold | 55–60 | Azshara |
| Shaper’s Terrace | 58–60 | The northern hills of Un’Goro Crater |
Alcaz Prison has been rumored to hold high-ranking prisoners, including King Varian Wrynn. Inside, the Defias Brotherhood and naga are locked in conflict. Blackmaw Hold is a furbolg city behind a long-sealed gate in Azshara, where the Blackmaw clan fights a spreading corruption. Blizzard calls it a substantial max-level dungeon with multiple routes and bosses, and says it may reveal a path farther below Azeroth.
Shaper’s Terrace is a titan facility above Un’Goro Crater. Blizzard says to bring power crystals gathered throughout Un’Goro and use them at consoles inside.
Which faction has the easy walk
Blizzard adds access notes to three of the nine dungeons.
| Dungeon | Access note |
|---|---|
| Hall of Thanes | Alliance players reach the entrance easily from their capital. Horde groups must travel into Alliance territory |
| Ruins of Lordaeron | Horde players reach the entrance easily from the Undercity. Alliance groups must travel into Horde territory |
| City of Dalaran | Requires an attunement questline. Alliance begin with “An Alarming Request” from Emissary Jacques in Southshore. Horde begin with “ Key to the City” and “Prison Break-In” from Magus Wordeen Voidglare in Tarren Mill |
The post names no access notes for the other six dungeons. For the Horde route into City of Dalaran beyond these first quests, see the Horde attunement route, which rests on a Wowhead beta report rather than Blizzard.
What is still unpublished
The overview does not list bosses, loot, entrance coordinates or walking routes, and it does not say which roles a group needs. It names only the opening quests of the City of Dalaran attunement. The Realm First dungeon pages and dungeon quest list carry the entrance pins, location notes and quest records this site has checked, partly from Wowhead reports.
