World of Warcraft SECRETS (Dun Morogh)

World of Warcraft is a huge game and it's only looking to get bigger with the release of its Shadowlands expansion right around the corner. Blizzard Entertainment packed a ton of cool Secrets and Easter Eggs into every single zone of their MMORPG, and no where is that more true than in the homeland of the Dwarves and Gnomes known as Dun Morogh . Home to the cities of Ironforge and Gnomeregan there is a ton to find in this Classic area. So, today, let's cover the area from top to bottom to find all of its hidden worldbuilding, secrets, and environmental storytelling!

That abandoned tent in Coldridge used to have a dwarf there you had to go deliver a letter too. He then sent you on the the next quest hub after you hunted some boars for him.. you can still do it in classic.

[@Jeff-om5rb]

same with the Wendigo camp, was a Classic quest to get ammo for those dwarves down the road

[@Petrisor22]

Ohhh... how I feel old for also knowing that :)))

[@GamingGal67-mr9ob]

@@Petrisor22 ehh .. what was that now?👵

[@DM-pn3of]

Those crates with the horde symbol could be left over from the old horde's seige of Iron forge during the second war

[@FullMotionVideos]

Oooooh good catch! I hadn't considered that, but it would make sense. I still think it was likely just a World Designer placing items they thought made hte most sense, but my headcanon is now that they're just reclaimed items from the Second War

[@Marxist-Leninist_BellaLabDog]

This actually makes sense especially considering you see various pieces of Horde siege equipment in both Elwynn Forest and Dun Morogh.

[@jefflarrabee4999]

@@FullMotionVideos idk man, the old blizz team was pretty concurrent with the lore and wow didnt take place that long after the wars.

[@Krome08]

Every MMO should strive to be what the original WoW was... It made you as a player feel so small, just a tiny piece of a much larger and complex world. You should always have to fight for relevancy in a true mmo, but there should be details everywhere reminding you that the world has it's own history & culture

[@Silenced_by_nazi_youtube]

This exactly. And tbh I can’t specify what made Vanilla such a great game.

[@jjaaamm]

I cannot explain how satisfying it is every. single. time. you say "around here, on your map"

[@EdyGlockenspiel]

The rare troll at 6:38 was moved to the mountains with the rest of the ice trolls right outside ironforge. He spawns inside of a hut somewhere up there.

[@FullMotionVideos]

Ah, thank you! I literally tried for days to get him to spawn, so that makes sense haha

[@sqw33k]

Fun fact about Newman's landing. This is the location where a newly created character was spawned into the world before being moved to it's proper starting location. ^^ If you went there in vanilla you could sometimes see one appear for a split second.

[@chrisidoo]

That's awesome, and what a neat reference to that fact in its name. New man's landing.

[@BonesAlexander]

One cool thing about Newman's Landing that I found out (it has been a while since I've last heard this so I might be wrong) was that it was used to warp your newly created character while the intro cinematic played.

[@kyleellis1825]

It was where new alliance players went. Horde ones went somewhere else AFAIR

[@shikouji]

@@kyleellis1825 if you go there in classic and then get a mate to start a new character you will get the briefest glimpse of them before they get teleported to their starting zone

[@kyleellis1825]

@@shikouji I know, me and my friends did it back in vanilla. We just did it on alliance characters and all the videos I've seen of it since, only shows alliance races popping up at newman's landing.

[@sabel7496]

This series is fantastic, and you can really tell you put effort into the work throughout. Thanks for taking your time to make videos like this !

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you so much! They are a lot of work, but they're also a ton of fun to make. Glad you enjoy it! :)

[@Legendary231]

Everyone remembers about Newman's Landing being used as the spawn zone for Alliance players, but my favorite part of it back before Cataclysm was how it wasn't tied to any zone. Standing in Newman's Landing flagged you as being in an Unknown region, and your friends could even see your zone placement as blank. It was a fun way to baffle your friends who didn't know any better, and fit the "No Man's Land" side of Newman's Landing.

[@chrisidoo]

That's awesome, and what a neat reference to that fact in its name. New man's landing.

[@thejaguar3191]

This is such a great series! Looking forward to more in the future!

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you!! I'm hoping to get these out more frequently in the future. Once every three weeks or so is the goal, so that'll be fun!

[@sammycat203]

iirc newmans landing used to be where fresh characters were sent while the intro cutscene played. I heard that at some point you could see new lvl 1s appearing and disappearing there

[@chrisidoo]

That's awesome, and what a neat reference to that fact in its name. New man's landing.

[@vwlssnvwls3262]

There is an easter egg in Tanaris I always liked, and it actually connects to the The Shimmering Flats in the Thousand Needles zone. It is a rocket ship that appears to have come from the mountain and crashed into a hill, but in the shimmering flats you can see the skid marks and point where it entered the mountain. I am fairly certain this is referencing the beginning of the movie The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, where Buckaroo Banzai is testing some new rocket and crosses dimensions allowing him to go thru a mountain and come out unscathed on the other side.

[@pokeylope6108]

Fun fact, prior to Cataclysm, the Ironforge Airport was actually still accessible on land. There is a way to wall jump in Loch Modan. Furthermore, this also allows you to 1. Stand on Top of Ironforge Gates prior to Azeroth flying. 2.Get to Wetlands(Menethil mainly) by jumping and using a slowfall or glider. Extra:You can actually head straight to IF from the Gnome starting area. The hill behind the tech garage to the northeast. Once you get there climb a hill, jump to a small hill with a tree and you are now on the glacier thats on IF mountain. Simply trek upward from there.

[@soulhammer]

Thank you for this! Dun Morogh, Loch Modan and the Wetlands share a magical place in my heart. I love all 3 of them, their ambience, music, stories etc.

[@ВолодимирМайко-п7р]

man, there is 100% nothing under Tirisfall glades! No darkness, no horror - nothing at all ;) two dwarves with a mortar is also a reference to Warcraft 3 - they are the same models, that are used for a mortar unit for Allience :) Also it is a shame that you haven't speaked about old Ironforge in classic. The amount of secrets it contained! It would be great to see your video about Barrens. So much little stuff there!

[@scratoriousentertainment8515]

That part with the strange/creepy noise made me remember a time where I went to that exact spot and hearing sounds of a bosses combat grunts in particular that Shamen boss in the Old Kingdom of Ahn'kahet

[@wolfmarian]

Oh my god, i just discovered your series, i will be seeing them all!!! As a main horde player, i love to find secrets in worldbuilding, specially in aliance zones.

[@bezel95]

Great quality content! I haven’t seen anyone do a series quite like this, and it’s a shame you don’t get as many views and subs as you deserve.

[@Lebeefio]

God these are the most well made wow Lore videos on the internet. Thank you so much for your dedication and effort into these videos. Love your content!!!

[@FullMotionVideos]

Thank you!! That's very kind of you to say ☺️

[@loftus4453]

Great job on this! I’ve played ALOT of classic wow. You are pointing out so many details I’ve overlooked even after leveling more characters than I can remember. Really enjoying this series! ❤

[@danielz.9817]

please keep doing these videos, they are so good and WILL pay out in time

[@Iowsbub]

Thank you for the great content, I enjoy these videos a lot! I like to see Tirisfal next. :)

[@NightpireVideos]

17:34 it's a small detail, but the painting on the wall was part of a set of early WoW wallpapers that have been distrubuted on CDs through gaming magazines back in the day. I looked up the art in its glorious 1024 x 768 resolution and it was made in 2001 and must have been early concept art. I remember it because I used it as wallpaper myself back in the day. A great piece that shows mystery and scale of what the game would eventually reflect.

[@LordXelous]

3:31 The skulls and trinkets surely come from the Dwarven passion of Archaeology, which is a theme in many parts, including outright expeditions in both Don Morogh and other zones.

[@unclvinny]

These are fun! I think it'd be cool to see a tour through BRD if you haven't done it already.

[@iarhungry]

Lee, I've been eating up all the content that you have to offer and I'm blown away by all of the effort you put into your videos. I especially enjoy the more lengthy content. I'd adore a deep dive into tarren mill or any of the old world zones, they've always been the more favoured zones of mine.

[@danielleary5735]

Love these videos!! Do all the starting zones!

[@FullMotionVideos]

That's the plan at the moment, before we move out to other cool areas! Excited for them to announce TBC Classic so we can go check out the Outland again too ;)

[@bunnyqueen20XX]

Fun fact about Newmans landing Its called *New*mans landing for a reason All new players, from any race (on alliance side, or both? Not sure) would spawn there very briefly before being put in their actual starting zones, it no longer does that of course with the current game, but yea!

[@kyleellis1825]

Pretty sure it's only alliance races. Never seen a video with a horde character spawning at newmans landing.

[@becca8514]

I really enjoyed this video and your style of story telling! I hope you get more subs in the future. :D Subbed!

[@FullMotionVideos]

Ah thank you!! I appreciate the kind words :)

[@xin-xvi]

I love how WoW adds these little details to the world simply to make the world feel real and alive, like it's lived in. I appreciate Dragonflight having a lot of that, I feel like Shadowlands was lacking it.

[@Arkancide]

I can't wait for you to cover Legion and Draenor zones!

[@dadtype2339]

Love these it's like vacation destination with remember when...speaking of remember when, does anyone remember back in the day the Beginning, when we were able to shoot wolf Debs to collapse them and stop the quick spawning of wolves? It would come back of course but it gave you some time to skin if that was your trade. Anyway just hit me. And this was any deb or brood layer for spiders or anything that came out of a rocky den all over the world. I don't think they do that anymore. Edit to add: Watched the whole thing, very thorough very nice job thank you for these. Back when we first could fly on our mounts in that area, was that WotLK, anyway, on the outside of IF on the front way up and on it's right side was a window you could go into and it was a room with a bed fireplace and a fire, books on a shelf bear rug a small table and chair with like meat apples cheese and a mug full of I guess ale. Your toon could also access the rest buff in here. Anyway I used to go in there as my dwarf hunters private room. I never saw anyone else in there when I'd log on or off. It was fine I doubt it's there anymore. Also I do not know this for sure but it made me think of the apartment that's inside the Disney castle, so I thought maybe this was WoWs version. It was a cool little spot. Like the cave behind the waterfall in SW lol OMG I just remembered there used to be an alligator a huge old elite in the SW waters under the bridge of valley of heros.

[@thisguy5017]

The leper gnome talking about tadpoles may be a reference to Jack Handy's "deep thoughts" series. Iirc, he once recalled a story about a relative that made a carnival wheel and would spin it around declaring "tadpoles, tadpoles is the winner". It was his way of describing a crazy person.

[@MrDjfrat]

Newmanns landing was the place where new human characters first blipped in while the cinematic is playing before they removed to their starting zone. Hence the name new man's landing 🙂

[@WolfCharge]

yeah, this is what I wanted to say.

[@ianwhelan-miller90]

I know it probably wouldn't have as much territory, but have you considered checking out Gilneas? I imagine you'll realistically hit up the other starting zones first. I'd love to see Teldrassil (RIP)

[@FullMotionVideos]

Yea, I'll definitely check out Gilneas at some point. I want to run through the other Starter Zones, and then probably Outland for TBC Classic and Shadowlands before then, just to be topical!

[@Peebs]

[@jereboy2005]

This is great! I love my gnomes and that little abandoned gnome camp i think I will make his own little rp home. I'm gonna have to check out the whole series now. This is amazing how much you found and all the details you gave. It seems like a ton of work but I'm glad you've done it

[@joelysharp4792]

@@FullMotionVideos Hey its worth the wait, I appreciate all the effort you put into these! If I may add a suggestion though, when you show the map in your video I think it would be a good idea to put like a circle or something around the character marker. I find myself not quite able to catch where it is right away and sometimes having to pause or rewind the video to find it. Thanks again for these videos I look forward to the next one :)

[@TommyFraz]

@FullMotionVideoes. I dont know if it has been mentioned already but the camp you show at 02:34 actually features in vanilla/classic WoW. There is a Dwarf NPC there who gives you a quest to kill some mobs before you move on to the quests regarding the Trolls.

[@jeromebraden7364]

"Tadpoles is a winner!" 6:05 is a reference to a Jack Handey "Deep Thought" about old Mr. Barnslow

[@JordanAndTrazyn]

I love these videos! Tirisfal could be fascinating, considering all the lore...

[@FullMotionVideos]

God, there's so much history in that zone! I originally wanted to do comprehensive lore explanations in these videos, but decided they'd be much better on their own. So we'll get to those eventually!

[@w4doesgames522]

I wanted to count how many times you said "around here, on your map" but i got distracted because this is sooo interesting

[@internet_inhabitant85]

i remember back in vanilla where the dwarves play out the shooting and mortar scene if you stand where the mortar lands it will hurt you for like 1 damage and flag you for pvp. just a small little thing i remember

[@Hunters12Melpomene]

[@shalaconballard9912]

In classic WOW up on the peak there use to be a chest that you could open and get some reward for making the clime but like most thing like that there now gone . Oh and the pilot of the crashed airplane use to be seen claiming back up the slope and as you passed he would wave to you .

[@Nilllan]

This is very late to the party, but Beld’s name could possibly be a reference to a major villain in the Dungeons & Dragons-inspired anime Record of Lodoss War. His name was Beld, and he was an evil warlord and fallen knight who wore black armor.

[@larryburling5621]

you didn't mention the grave at the highest peak in dunmorg dedicated to the founder of world of warcraft

[@thom3124]

Newmans Landing was a site where newly created Dwarfs briefly appeared while the cut scene was playing. Then the new Dwarf was whisked off to Coldridge Valley. No sure if that is still true or not. I have seen it before. That's why it is called New Mans Landing.

[@bluknight99]

F*CK ICEBEARD! That bastard killed me so many times before I discovered the "in-and-out" move.

Newmans landing is also where all new characters load in before they start their game (well it used to be) hence new man's landing

[@walkintom502]

The mortar shooting dwarves are named Angus and Shorty - the mortar team from Warcraft 3. They say their names in their voice files.

The blank location of a snow covered field is in reference to the snowy area in ?Russia where the sound cannot be heard, but the vibration of it can kill you.

a good zone for some environmental storytelling is Tanaris--the tracks leading out of gadgetzan do lead somewhere out into the dunes

[@doubtingtom92]

@19:30 what if the Gnomes worked with the Royal Apothecary to at least help the leper gnomes get their sentience back while they look for true a cure? I mean, there must have been humans in Lordaeron that worked with Gnomes back before the plague, right?

[@Marxist-Leninist_BellaLabDog]

Interesting theory that Newman's Landing is actually where new Human player character's are spawned into the game world during the intro video before being teleported to Northshire Abbey hence the name Newman's Landing, but I am not sure if that is true or if it it is still the case.

[@mast3734]

Not a theory. Actually where all alliance characters spawned before they were teleported to their starting zones. You used to be able to stand there and watch them blink into existence for a split second

[@brianstiles1701]
