About The Mithril Order

The Order is an association of Mithrilsmiths — artisan blacksmiths who specialize in working with Mithril. Members of The Mithril Order can be found in Horde, Alliance, and neutral cities. The Order appears to be a part of the larger Thorium Brotherhood faction, but you do not gain reputation with the larger faction by helping them or doing their quests.
