The Thorium Brotherhood is a colony of Dwarfs who decided to separate themselves from their Dark Iron brethren. This faction is made up of skilled dwarfs who wouldn't hesitate to help out a fellow craftsman once befriended. The Brotherhood features a large number of highly talented craftsmen, with this faction's Smiths widely considered to be the best in all of Azeroth. It's even said that one of these dwarfs may just have what it takes to be able to craft a weapon from Ragnaros' very essence. Yet if you wish to receive the necessary plans for this, you must first show your dedication to the Brotherhood by finishing multiple quests that require you to adventure deep into the Molten Core.
