Dark Iron Dwarves Allied Race Guide

Dark Iron Dwarves Allied Race is one of the five Allied Races available to the Alliance in Battle for Azeroth, the other four being Kul Tiran Humans, Lightforged Draenei, Mechagnomes and Void Elves.

In this Allied Race guide we are going to have a look at the unlock requirements, rewards, class options, racial spells and more!

How to unlock Dark Iron Dwarves

To unlock the Dark Iron Dwarves Allied Race you have to reach Level 40 with any character on your account.

After you've done that, the Recruitment Scenario for the Dark Iron Dwarves becomes available in the Stormwind Embassy.

Mount

Upon completing the Recruitment Scenario you will receive the Dark Iron Core Hound mount. Paladins also unlock the Darkforge Ram.

Heritage Armor

Once you've created your first Dark Iron Dwarf character you will receive the Tabard of the Dark Iron.

If you level a Dark Iron Dwarf to level 50, you will be rewarded with the Heritage of the Dark Iron achievement, which in turn awards a Heritage Armor cosmetic transmog set.

Lore

Known for their fiery tempers and fierce determination, Dark Iron dwarves have a turbulent history with the other clans. A failed coup in Ironforge ignited the War of the Three Hammers, and many of the Dark Iron once fought in the service of Ragnaros the Firelord. Though one faction is pledged to Queen-Regent Moira Thaurissan, others refuse to stand alongside their kin. The Alliance seeks a united Dark Iron clan to harness the power of Azerite and aid their struggle against the Horde.
