The dwarven kingdom of Ironforge, shared with their gnomish allies, is one of the fiercest supporters of the Alliance, ruled by King Magni Bronzebeard during much of ''WorldOfWarcraft''. However, a SuccessionCrisis following Magni [[TakenForGranite sacrificing himself to save the city from the destruction of Deathwing's cataclysm]] resulted in political upheaval. In the end, the Council of Three Hammers was placed in command of Ironforge, led by a representative from each of the three, long divided dwarven clans. Muradin Bronzebeard, Magni's brother, represents the Bronzebeard clan; Moira Thaurissan, Magni's daughter, represents the Dark Iron clan; Falstad Wildhammer represents the Wildhammer clan.
* AdventurerArchaeologist: Dwarves survey faster and find more fragments in the Archaeology skill.
* BadassBeard: '''''All male dwarves have beards.'''''

Among the Bronzebeard dwarves you will find just a many sophisticated scholars and archaeologists as you will find the typical short-statured vikings with fondness of ale. The Dark Iron dwarves are an evil bend of this mold with an added penchant for sorcery compared to their cousins (player dwarves couldn't be mages or warlocks before ''Cataclysm'', when the Council was formed), while the Wildhammer defy it by being nature-loving people who live outdoors and ride gryphons (thereby allowing players to create dwarf shamans in ''Cataclysm'').

->''"Strength. Honor. I see them in you. Why have you come?"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Carlos Larkin
->'''Class:''' Mountain King
King of Khaz Modan and ruler of the Bronzebeard clan. During the Third War, when he heard of the death of his brother Muradin, who turned out to be alive, he personally forged Ashbringer for Alexandros Mograine to fight against the Scourge. In ''Cataclysm'' he is turned to stone in an attempt to save Ironforge from the earthquakes by activating a tablet recovered from Ulduar.
----
* AscendToAHigherPlaneOfExistence: Implied in the short story ''Charge of the Aspects''. Thrall feels a presence in the mountains of Khaz Modan that is repeating the Earthen phrase Magni said before he was turned to stone.

* DropTheHammer: Two of them.
* DualWielding
* GeniusBruiser

* HeirClubForMen: He was disappointed that Moira wasn't a male child, causing them to have a strained relationship.
* HeroicSacrifice: In ''Cataclysm''.
** SenselessSacrifice: Ultimately, the ritual fails to accomplish the intended purpose.
* HonoraryUncle: To Anduin.
* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Daughter]]: Averted. The fact that he never formally disinherited Moira in spite of her refusal to return, and still hoped that she would do, so leads to the SuccessionCrisis.
* OhCrap: In a nightmare he has in the Legends manga, he kills Thaurissan, and meets with Moira, regretfully telling her that her baby will have to be banished. He has one OhCrap reaction when she stabs him, and another, much larger, one when she reveals that she had a child with ''Ragnaros''.
* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: He takes on an uncharacteristically serious demeanor when he meets with Anduin after the earthquake in Kharanos in "The Shattering". He took the disaster fairly hard, and decides to go with the risky ritual in the hopes of averting future crises.
* ParentsAsPeople: Loves Moira, but also wants a male heir, and admits to those closest to him that he was not the best father for her.

->''"My older brother Magni is king of the dwarves. My younger brother Brann is a renowned explorer. If I didn't kick so much ass, I'd feel a tad awkward."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Carlos Larkin
->'''Class:''' Mountain King
Second of the Bronzebeard brothers and a combat instructor and friend of Prince Arthas Menethil. In ''Warcraft III'', he arrived in Northrend with an expedition to search for the mythical blade Frostmourne and ended up meeting up with Arthas, seeking the same sword for the sake of getting revenge on Mal'ganis. Muradin accompanied him, but grew increasingly disturbed with his twisted change. When they came upon Frostmourne, Muradin realized that the blade was evil and cursed and opted to abandon it. But Arthas, already insane, pulled out the sword, supposedly sacrificing Muradin as the ice blocks surrounding it crushed him. Muradin was presumed dead...
Turns out it wasn't [[NotQuiteDead quite the case]]. Unfortunately, he suffered amnesia from the blow given to him by the ice blocks, and was found by the Frostborn dwarves. Despite being amnesiac, Muradin helped them out by slaying a jormungar that assaulted their home. Grateful, they adopted him as their leader (despite their skin color difference) and gave him the name 'Yorg Stormheart'. He led the Frostborn dwarves until he eventually reunited with his brothers and resolved to fix his mistake by opposing Arthas, leading the Alliance forces in Icecrown Citadel.
After the Shattering, with Magni being [[TakenForGranite a bit preoccupied]], Muradin serves as the leader of Ironforge and represents the Bronzebeard dwarves on the Council of Three Hammers in Magni's place.

->'''Class:''' Warrior
The youngest of the Bronzebeard brothers, he lives a life of adventure, exploring the world and chronicling his journeys. Although mentioned in various parts of Warcraft lore, he did not make his first appearance until Wrath of the Lich King.
Brann is renowned as the greatest adventurer in the Warcraft universe. Many of the expanded unvierse reference materials, such as the RPG books and the original previews of the zones prior to the game's launch, were done from his perspective. Expect him to show up in places involving ancient ruins, Titan artifacts, and [[EldrichAbomination Old Gods]].
----
* AdventurerArchaeologist
* BadassBookworm: He has disappeared many times and seemingly lost in seemingly dangerous locations(such as Silithid hives and Yogg Saron's lair) only to be found alive and well days later with new discoveries. He said he never considered himself lost.
* NiceHat
* OnlySaneMan: Seems to be one of the few in the Warcraft universe. In several of his books he points out many of the more questionable things that the Alliance and Horde do, or don't do. Such as the perpetuating of their pointless conflicts when the Scourge and Burning Legion still had strong presences in many areas, questionable people within the both factions themselves, and suggestions that would make things way easier for both factions both in relations to each other and for solving internal issues.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Brother of the former king and a very active AdventurerArchaeologist.

->'''Class:''' Priest
The daughter of Magni Bronzebeard, she was abducted by Dagran Thaurissan. Before adventurers killed her husband, she fell in love with him and became pregnant with his child. Angry with them for the death of her husband, she refused to return to Ironforge until her father was petrified, at which point she returned to claim her throne. Varian arrived to unseat her, but spared her at Anduin's request and established the Council of Three Hammers to rule until her son comes of age.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: In the "Blood in the Snow" scenario in patch 5.3, Moira leads a squad of Dark Irons against the Frostmane trolls in Dun Morogh which have been rallied by the Zandalari. Falstad and Muradin didn't do it because they were worried she'd take over Ironforge while they had their backs turned.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She almost comes across as AffablyEvil, but Anduin realizes that much of her politeness toward him is a facade to hide her bitterness.
* CharacterDevelopment: Originally a BitchInSheepsClothing, as of the scenario "Blood in the Snow", Moira's come around to being a responsible leader, taking the Dark Irons into battle against the Zandalari trolls when the Wildhammer and Bronzebeards wouldn't (for fear of another Dark Iron coup). After the problem is resolved, Varian says "They should be envious they missed this battle", Moira responds "I didn't intend to make them jealous our ashamed, I was merely looking out for my people, all of them.", needless to say, the other two council members are stunned and humbled.
* HealingHands

* StarCrossedLovers: Magni does his best to save Moira from the merciless evil Dark Dwarf Emperor. This, of course, is send adventurers to assassinate him. Only to find that she was HappilyMarried to the tyrant and just PLAYING at being his slave girl.
* StockholmSyndrome: Falls in love with Dagran Thaurissan after being abducted, believing he respected her in ways her father did not.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: After her quest is complete, a Priestess of Thaurissan replaces her in the Thaurissan encounter.
* TookALevelInKindness: Seems to have inexplicably mellowed out come ''Mists of Pandaria''.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: In ''The Shattering'', as a result of her father being petrified. Varian arrives to depose her, but when Anduin convinces him it would be a bad idea, he forms the Council of Three Hammers so she can rule responsibly.
* VillainousBreakdown: Has a short one when Anduin escapes, but regains her composure and decides to search for him.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Anduin ultimately reaches this conclusion regarding her, indicating that for all her misrule of Ironforge, the Dark Iron Dwarves should unite with the Bronzebeards and Wildhammers.
* WhamLine: Her line after turning in her quest indicates that she was ''not'' brainwashed, and is not at all pleased at what you have done.

* HonoraryUncle: To Anduin.
* [[IHaveNoSon I Have No Daughter]]: Averted. The fact that he never formally disinherited Moira in spite of her refusal to return, and still hoped that she would do, so leads to the SuccessionCrisis.
* OhCrap: In a nightmare he has in the Legends manga, he kills Thaurissan, and meets with Moira, regretfully telling her that her baby will have to be banished. He has one OhCrap reaction when she stabs him, and another, much larger, one when she reveals that she had a child with ''Ragnaros''.
* OutOfCharacterIsSeriousBusiness: He takes on an uncharacteristically serious demeanor when he meets with Anduin after the earthquake in Kharanos in "The Shattering". He took the disaster fairly hard, and decides to go with the risky ritual in the hopes of averting future crises.
* ParentsAsPeople: Loves Moira, but also wants a male heir, and admits to those closest to him that he was not the best father for her.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: He's not above going around to deal with problems within his kingdom personally and is also a master blacksmith, having forged the [[CoolSword Ashbringer]] himself.
* ShouldersOfDoom
* SuperMode: As a Mountain King he possesses the ability which turns him into a huge and much more powerful warrior.
* TakenForGranite: In ''Cataclysm''. He is treated very much as if he had been KilledOffForReal by the other characters though, since no one knows of any possible way to reverse this.
* UltimateBlacksmith: He forged the '''[[CoolSword Ashbringer]]''' himself, harnessing all of his rage, fury and the desire of vengeance against Arthas into the blade. Kind of pointless as his brother survived, [[spoiler:however it gets used for the purpose it was forged, shattering Frostmourne and ending Arthas' reign by the hands of Tirion Fordring.]]
!!Muradin Bronzebeard
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/muradin_bronzebeard_border_big_6191.png[[caption-width:268:Invalidating important character deaths since 2008]]
->''"My older brother Magni is king of the dwarves. My younger brother Brann is a renowned explorer. If I didn't kick so much ass, I'd feel a tad awkward."''
->'''Voiced by:''' Carlos Larkin
->'''Class:''' Mountain King
Second of the Bronzebeard brothers and a combat instructor and friend of Prince Arthas Menethil. In ''Warcraft III'', he arrived in Northrend with an expedition to search for the mythical blade Frostmourne and ended up meeting up with Arthas, seeking the same sword for the sake of getting revenge on Mal'ganis. Muradin accompanied him, but grew increasingly disturbed with his twisted change. When they came upon Frostmourne, Muradin realized that the blade was evil and cursed and opted to abandon it. But Arthas, already insane, pulled out the sword, supposedly sacrificing Muradin as the ice blocks surrounding it crushed him. Muradin was presumed dead...
Turns out it wasn't [[NotQuiteDead quite the case]]. Unfortunately, he suffered amnesia from the blow given to him by the ice blocks, and was found by the Frostborn dwarves. Despite being amnesiac, Muradin helped them out by slaying a jormungar that assaulted their home. Grateful, they adopted him as their leader (despite their skin color difference) and gave him the name 'Yorg Stormheart'. He led the Frostborn dwarves until he eventually reunited with his brothers and resolved to fix his mistake by opposing Arthas, leading the Alliance forces in Icecrown Citadel.
After the Shattering, with Magni being [[TakenForGranite a bit preoccupied]], Muradin serves as the leader of Ironforge and represents the Bronzebeard dwarves on the Council of Three Hammers in Magni's place.
----
* AnAxeToGrind
* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: As Yorg Stormheart he was made leader of the Frostborn Dwarves because of his ability to kick ass--giant, rock-eating, acid-spewing worm ass.
* {{Badass}}: Slays a giant freaking monster worm while being amnesiac.
* CoolHelmet: Two of them, both horned in their own ways.
* DropTheHammer
* DualWielding: Axe in one hand, hammer in the other.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia
* NotQuiteDead
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: As part of the Council of Three Hammers.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Brother of the king and very active as not only an ambassador to the rest of the Alliance, but also as an archaeologist himself.
* SuperMode: As a Mountain King he possesses the ability which turns him into a huge and much more powerful warrior.
* [[ThrowingYourSwordAlwaysWorks Throwing your Hammer Always works]]: Storm Bolt, where he throws a magic hammer at someone, stunning them and letting him beat on them, usually stunning them again thanks to bash.
* WarriorPrince
* WolfpackBoss: In ''Cataclysm'' he fights alongside Falstad and Moira.
!!Brann Bronzebeard
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/brann_bronzebeard_border_big_169.png
->''"Inquiring minds just got to know!"''
->'''Voiced by:''' Carlos Larkin
->'''Class:''' Warrior
The youngest of the Bronzebeard brothers, he lives a life of adventure, exploring the world and chronicling his journeys. Although mentioned in various parts of Warcraft lore, he did not make his first appearance until Wrath of the Lich King.
Brann is renowned as the greatest adventurer in the Warcraft universe. Many of the expanded unvierse reference materials, such as the RPG books and the original previews of the zones prior to the game's launch, were done from his perspective. Expect him to show up in places involving ancient ruins, Titan artifacts, and [[EldrichAbomination Old Gods]].
----
* AdventurerArchaeologist
* BadassBookworm: He has disappeared many times and seemingly lost in seemingly dangerous locations(such as Silithid hives and Yogg Saron's lair) only to be found alive and well days later with new discoveries. He said he never considered himself lost.
* NiceHat
* OnlySaneMan: Seems to be one of the few in the Warcraft universe. In several of his books he points out many of the more questionable things that the Alliance and Horde do, or don't do. Such as the perpetuating of their pointless conflicts when the Scourge and Burning Legion still had strong presences in many areas, questionable people within the both factions themselves, and suggestions that would make things way easier for both factions both in relations to each other and for solving internal issues.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Brother of the former king and a very active AdventurerArchaeologist.
* TheSmartGuy: Even though he's (presumably) never worked with Titan technology before, he is able to help adventurers on two fights using said technology in the Halls of Stone dungeon.
* WarriorPrince
!!Moira Thaurissan
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/moira_thaurissan_border_big_6417.png
-> ''"In time, my son shall rule the Dark Irons, and perhaps all of Ironforge as well."''
->'''Class:''' Priest
The daughter of Magni Bronzebeard, she was abducted by Dagran Thaurissan. Before adventurers killed her husband, she fell in love with him and became pregnant with his child. Angry with them for the death of her husband, she refused to return to Ironforge until her father was petrified, at which point she returned to claim her throne. Varian arrived to unseat her, but spared her at Anduin's request and established the Council of Three Hammers to rule until her son comes of age.
----
* ADayInTheLimelight: In the "Blood in the Snow" scenario in patch 5.3, Moira leads a squad of Dark Irons against the Frostmane trolls in Dun Morogh which have been rallied by the Zandalari. Falstad and Muradin didn't do it because they were worried she'd take over Ironforge while they had their backs turned.
* BitchInSheepsClothing: She almost comes across as AffablyEvil, but Anduin realizes that much of her politeness toward him is a facade to hide her bitterness.
* CharacterDevelopment: Originally a BitchInSheepsClothing, as of the scenario "Blood in the Snow", Moira's come around to being a responsible leader, taking the Dark Irons into battle against the Zandalari trolls when the Wildhammer and Bronzebeards wouldn't (for fear of another Dark Iron coup). After the problem is resolved, Varian says "They should be envious they missed this battle", Moira responds "I didn't intend to make them jealous our ashamed, I was merely looking out for my people, all of them.", needless to say, the other two council members are stunned and humbled.
* HealingHands
* LightEmUp
* LightIsNotGood: At first, due to her being bitter and power-hungry despite being a user of the Holy Light as a priestess
* MamaBear: Much of her motivation comes from her desire to keep Ironforge around for her son to rule.
* MoreThanMindControl: Turns out she really did love Thaurissan and respect the Dark Iron dwarves.
* [[ManipulativeBastard Manipulative Bitch]]
* NoMisterBondIExpectYouToDine: Has dinner with Anduin, enabling him to learn much about her true personality and motivations.
* NotBrainwashed
* OdangoHair
* SmugSnake
* StarCrossedLovers: Magni does his best to save Moira from the merciless evil Dark Dwarf Emperor. This, of course, is send adventurers to assassinate him. Only to find that she was HappilyMarried to the tyrant and just PLAYING at being his slave girl.
* StockholmSyndrome: Falls in love with Dagran Thaurissan after being abducted, believing he respected her in ways her father did not.
* SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute: After her quest is complete, a Priestess of Thaurissan replaces her in the Thaurissan encounter.
* TookALevelInKindness: Seems to have inexplicably mellowed out come ''Mists of Pandaria''.
* TyrantTakesTheHelm: In ''The Shattering'', as a result of her father being petrified. Varian arrives to depose her, but when Anduin convinces him it would be a bad idea, he forms the Council of Three Hammers so she can rule responsibly.
* VillainousBreakdown: Has a short one when Anduin escapes, but regains her composure and decides to search for him.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Anduin ultimately reaches this conclusion regarding her, indicating that for all her misrule of Ironforge, the Dark Iron Dwarves should unite with the Bronzebeards and Wildhammers.
* WhamLine: Her line after turning in her quest indicates that she was ''not'' brainwashed, and is not at all pleased at what you have done.
* WolfpackBoss: She fights alongside Muradin and Falstad Wildhammer.

!!Kurdran Wildhammer
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/kurdran_wildhammer_border_big_7195.png
->'''Class:''' Warrior
Former High Thane of the Wildhammer clan, Kurdran joined the Alliance Expedition to Outland and was thought to have died. He turns out to have survived and returns to Azeroth in ''Cataclysm'', helping to unite the independant Wildhammer clans of the Twilight Highlands.
As seen in ''Fire and Iron'', Kurdran was briefly the Wildhammer representative of the Council of Three Hammers, but gave up the position to Falstad, the current High Thane of the Wildhammer clan.

* TheDragonslayer: Renowned for his slaying of many dragons during the Second War.

* ShoutOut: Some believe the entire premise behind ''Fire and Iron'' is one big reference to the infamous Red Shirt Guy from Blizzcon 2010. Said Guy corrected a mistake in the ''Cataclysm'' beta, where Kudran was on the Council of Three Hammers instead of Falstad. Very soon after the event, Kudran was indeed replaced rightfully with Falstad.
