Dungeon notes & sources
The following four entries are documented for Alliance. All are Fact — Medium as records; pickup availability remains incompletely verified. Source ↗
For Remember That I Love You, a firsthand player report places the letter in the dungeon graveyard and describes the next step: Nightingale outside Stormwind Cathedral → Avette Fellwood in Darkshire, Duskwood. Fact — Low for that reported route; not independently playthrough-verified. Player report and quest text ↗
Do not use the Horde version of Crest of Lordaeron, which sends you to Undercity. The same beta guide assigns Light’s Justice, The Wrath of Rath’mael, The New Plague, A Frightened Request and Unending Torment to Horde; they are excluded from this Alliance checklist.
Hall of Thanes
5 quests · Forever betaQuest chain · 5 steps in order
Reported beta sequence. The map turn-in is the documented immediate prerequisite; earlier requirements and individual minimum levels need confirmation.
- UnverifiedNip ’Em in the Bud Wowhead searchDun Morogh · hill above Gol’Bolar Quarry · Earthseer Farsen
- UnverifiedUnderground Map Wowhead searchReturn the map to Earthseer Farsen.Dun Morogh · spy captain inside the house · Dark Iron Map

Dungeon notes & sources
Old Ironforge Incursion preparation: Beldin Steelgrill at Steelgrill’s Depot, Dun Morogh offers A Visitor to Dun Morogh, leading to Earthseer Farsen. Player reports describe Farsen’s Watch → Nip ’Em in the Bud, then a Dark Iron Map from the spy captain inside a house in the spy area. The item starts Underground Map; return it to Farsen for the dungeon quest. Reports differ about the exact intermediate sequence and whether the earlier steps are mandatory: the map turn-in is the documented immediate prerequisite. Fact — Medium for the map link; Low for the complete reported sequence. Firsthand beta comments ↗

Dungeon notes & sources
The first six quests are Fact — High for Classic, with Medium confidence that their routes remain unchanged in Forever. Classic quest guide ↗
Defias preparation route: Gryan at Sentinel Hill → Wiley the Black, upstairs in Lakeshire inn, Redridge → Gryan → Master Mathias Shaw, SI:7 in Stormwind’s Old Town → Gryan → intercept the Defias Messenger in Westfall → Gryan → escort the Defias Traitor from Sentinel Hill to the hideout → Gryan’s VanCleef quest. These stages reuse the same quest title. Fact — High for Classic; Medium for Forever. Original dungeon guide ↗, chain record ↗
New explosives chain: Testing the Wells → Murloc Gills → The State of the Mines → Moonbrook Espionage → Explosive Consultation → A Dynamite Plan → Detonation at a Distance → Detonation at a Distance (second stage) → Explosive Consultation (return stage) → Destruction in Deadmines → Destruction in Deadmines (follow-up). Fact — Medium, from the beta quest progression recorded by Warcraft Wiki. Chain ↗
Alba Fairmoon is documented in Westfall, but her initial pickup coordinates were not established by the sources retrieved. NPC record ↗ The chain starts by sampling the Jansen Stead and Molsen Farm wells; those are objectives, not verified Alba locations. First quest ↗ Some databases show the dungeon stage as item-started, while the wiki names Alba as giver. Complete her chain and obtain the explosives before travelling to the dungeon; do not assume they are a random dungeon drop.

Shard follow-up: use the shard → speak to Sputtervalve in Ratchet → Falla Sagewind, hut on the mountain above Wailing Caverns → accept In Nightmares → Mathrengyl Bearwalker in Darnassus for the Alliance completion. This is a continuation, not another dungeon pickup. Fact — High for Classic; Medium for Forever. Route ↗, quest relationships ↗
Leaders of the Fang and Serpentbloom are Horde quests in Classic. Their presence in a Forever database with a blank faction field does not establish Alliance access. They are excluded pending an in-game confirmation of a change.

Dungeon notes & sources
Added 24 September 2026. Alliance pickups and class quests below use Classic reference routes; availability and prerequisites still need confirmation in Forever.
Collect the city quests before travelling to Ashenvale. Thaelrid is inside the dungeon, southwest of Ghamoo-ra. Knowledge in the Deeps can be accepted at level 10; this is not a recommended dungeon level.
The Orb of Soran’ruk also needs a fragment from Shadowfang Keep. The Paladin gem branch can be completed using naga in the outer caves as well as inside; return the corrupted gem to Thundris before taking the purified gem to Jordan.
Horde-only quests and Season of Discovery raid quests are excluded. No additional Forever-only Alliance quest was verified.
