The Map Chamber in Uldaman, as it exists in World of Warcraft.ĭuring the Alliance and Horde’s campaign against the Lich King in Northrend, the League established a base in the Howling Fjord and were co-leaders with the Kirin Tor in the assault on Ulduar to end the threat of the Old God Yogg-Saron. Wherever they went, the goal remained the same: uncover relics, artifacts, and lost history, particularly anything that could provide further knowledge of the titans and the dwarves’ connection to them. Over the years, the Explorers’ League would run excavation operations all over Azeroth and beyond, including the ancient titan city of Uldaman in The Badlands, The Temple of Atal'Hakkar in the Swamp of Sorrows, The Ruins of Eldarath in Azshara, and several other locations in places like Darkshore, Mulgore, Azuremyst Isles, and Alterac Valley. Arthas joined Muradin and the Explorer’s League in their search and claimed the runeblade, only to succumb to its corrupting curse and become a Death Knight of The Lich King.

One of these expeditions saw Muradin searching for the fabled runeblade known as Frostmourne, where he bumped into his old friend Prince Arthas Menethil of Lordaeron, when Arthas saved them from an attack by the undead Scourge. Originally known as the Explorers’ Guild of Ironforge, one of its branches, led by Magni’s brother Muradin Bronzebeard, regularly explored the frozen continent of Northrend.


After discovering ancient ruins that held keys to lost knowledge of dwarven history and their fabled connections to the titans, Magni decreed that the focus of his people’s industry shift from engineering and mining to archaeology. The Explorers’ League was first founded by the dwarves of Ironforge under the orders of King Magni Bronzebeard.
