| − | '''Bael Modan'''{{coords|47|84|Barrens}} is heralded by some as the new home of the dwarves and gnomes on [[Kalimdor]].<ref name="LoM">''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg 28</ref> Bael Modan (''the red mountain'' in [[Dwarven]]) is the name the [[Ironforge]] [[dwarves]] have given to the settlement. With a population of 800, it is the largest [[Alliance]] stronghold in the [[Barrens]]. It is marked by the sturdy stone walls and guard towers blocking the mouth of a cavern into the mountain. An encampment just inside the wall offers shelter to Alliance caravans and travelers crossing the Barrens. The stores of food and supplies at Bael Modan are a tempting target to [[centaur]] warbands and [[quilboar]] raiders, but thus far the dwarves' trusty rifles and mortars have proven more than able to withstand such attacks. |

||
| − | Behind a second wall is the largest dwarven archaeological dig in all of [[Kalimdor]]. Nearly a thousand dwarves dig around the clock to uncover the most significant set of [[titan]] ruins discovered since [[Uldaman]] on the continent of the [[Eastern Kingdoms]]. Travelers are welcome in Bael Modan, but not within the titan ruins. Few non-dwarves ever receive such an honor. The Ironforge dwarves are otherwise forthcoming with hospitality, offering a meal and a place to sleep and asking only a good tale in return. Still, dwarven riflemen patrol the streets and keep a close eye on all visitors, fearful of thieves so close to Titan artifacts. |

| − | Those who visit discover that the dwarves have not forgotten their traditional weapons since the invention of gunpowder. The dwarves of Bael Modan have established a midwinter tournament, with the highest prizes - elaborate bronze helms - given to those most skilled with the axe and the hammer.<ref name="WRPG">''[[Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg 190</ref> |

||
| − | When the Ironforge dwarves learned of their old friends, the [[gnome]]s, arrival in [[Theramore]], the Ironforge dwarves invited the gnomes to settle in their new home, Bael Modan, and take up their inventing and tinkering where they left off. The gnomes found Theramore too crowded and politically charged, and gladly took the dwarves up on their invitation. For a while most gnomes on Kalimdor remained secluded in Bael Modan (still reeling from the loss of their city [[Gnomeregan]]), having yet declared their presence on the continent. So for a while a traveling gnome on Kalimdor was a rare sight to see. The few gnomes living in Bael Modan were loosely organized much like most of gnome society living back in Ironforge.<ref name="A&HC">''[[Alliance & Horde Compendium]]'', pgs 17, 18, 60</ref> |

| − | Bael Modan digsite and the nearby mighty [[Bael'dun Keep]] are led by [[General Twinbraid]], [[Heggin Stonewhisker]], [[Prospector Khazgorm]], [[Malgin Barleybrew]], [[Captain Gerogg Hammertoe]], and [[Lord Cyrik Blackforge]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | A number of dwarves from Bael Modan traveled west, to [[Mulgore]] and set up [[Bael'dun Digsite|another digsite]] there. |

||
| − | |||
| − | Over 100,000 years ago, beings known as [[titan]]s built great laboratories throughout Azeroth. Bael Modan was one such site. The titans encrypted their research on banded platinum disks in a runic language now forgotten to mortal races. The site at Bael Modan served the titans as a storage facility for these discs before they packed up most of their gear and left. [[Khaz'goroth]] was the facility overseer and ran the facility nearly 100,000 years ago when the titans ceased the facility operations<ref name="HPG">''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', pg 242</ref> A few guardians remained to protect the site for eternity and the titans sealed off the main entrance. One such guardian was [[Acheras the Custodian]] who was left in charge of the facility's maintenance and awaits his master's return. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The facility was once a multi-level complex above and below ground surrounded by a fortress wall. Geological forces and instability slowly sunk the facility into the ground.<ref name="HPG" /> Over the millenia titan ruins sunk deeper and deeper under the mountain. Earthquakes and shifting ground broke the ruins into several large areas and separated them, sometimes hundreds of feet apart and at many different elevations in the mountain. Natural tunnels and caves developed around the ruins as erosion and time took their toll. The area is now a great wilderness inhabited by fierce creatures, including the mighty [[Kolkar]] centaur tribe.<ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'' pg 235</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | The [[House of the Makers]] can be found in Bael Modan. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Flying machines== |
||
| − | Bael Modan possess several [[flying machine]]s. One of the most skilled pilots in all Azeroth, [[Lord Cyrik Blackforge]], is in charge of one of them. [[Gann Stonespire]] later requests brave [[Horde]] adventurers to destroy it with explosives. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The gnome [[ace]] [[Gaeval Thunderblast]] also spends his time in Bael Modan working on his ship, the ''Greased Lightning'', while teaching new aces the art of aerial combat.<ref name="APG">''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg 44</ref> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ==Conflicts with the Tauren & Centaur== |
||
| − | Bael Modan has seen conflict with other races which share the Barrens. Each day that passed saw Bael Modan grow stronger as the inhabitants built up defenses and new dwarves and some other [[Alliance]] members came to settle.<ref name="WRPG" /> |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Tauren=== |
||
| − | The dwarves and gnomes suffer constant attacks from the Horde, especially nearby tauren from Mulgore.<ref name="LoM" /> Bael Modan was once next to a tauren village, but in conflicts between the dwarves and tauren (caused by the dwarves excavating for Titan artifacts in land the local tauren consider holy) most of the tauren were killed or driven off of their ancestral lands. Their old village is now torn apart by dwarven digging machines. [[Gann Stonespire]], a tauren who frequently wanders the roads nearby, states that attempts to reach a diplomatic resolution failed; he now seeks revenge by sending Horde adventurers to fight the dwarves. |
||
| − | |||
| − | ===Centaur=== |
||
| − | Native dangers have not stopped the Ironforge dwarves from establishing the stronghold near the titan excavation site of Bael Modan. The centaur have made forays against it, but were repelled decisively each time. Scouts claimed that the centaur were amassing other tribes to launch a major attack, but the dwarves were unconcerned.<ref name="WRPG" /> |

| − | In the lastest [[World of Warcraft: The Magazine]] Interview, When Game Designer, David Kosak, was asked what quest was he most proud of making, He stated without giving too much away, that he was most proud of doing the South Barrens, especially Bael Modan. 'A lot of epic things are going to happen there that I am immensely proud of. some beautiful, beautiful things.' |
||
| − | |||
| − | According to quest text it apparently took part in the bombing of camp Taurajo. With help from a dying Gann Stonespire and a goblin rogue called [[Weezil Slipshadow]] the player sabotages a dwarven artillery shell for the giant cannon erected around Bael'dun keep causing the whole place to go sky high.

| − | ===Something bad is beneath the Barrens=== |
||
| − | |||
| − | In the Cataclysm Beta an Bael'dun Excavator standing before the cave can be interacted with by Alliance players and he says something interesting : |
||
| − | "Turn away, <class>. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Before me the cataclysm hit, we found something. |
||
| − | |||
| − | We dug something up that should've stayed burried. |
||
