Deep Elem Mine

The Deep Elem Mine was once a bountiful source of silver ore, worked by Silverpine's men to provide Gilneas, Dalaran, and Lordaeron with the materials needed to make money and jewelry. The farmers saw their share of the income. The mine would have grown even deeper if the worgen had not arrived.

Arugal let his magic spread to the Deep Elem Mine. Led by the cunning Grimson the Pale, the former foreman of the mine, the worgen made the mine their home.

Dalar Dawnweaver sent heroes to behead Grimson the Pale so the Forsaken could claim the mine as a resource of the Forsaken in name of the Varimathras.

In Cataclysm
It appears that Gilneas Liberation Front have taken over the mine. Master Forteski, known as the Horseman, now stands outside on command of Sylvanas with a contingent of her most powerful Veteran Forsaken Troopers, believing she has the leaders of Gilneas Liberation Front cornered. However, it turns out to be a trap set by Ivar Bloodfang; the mine is in fact empty and about to explode. The Forsaken troops are blown to pieces as the mine explodes, with only one messenger to survive and report back.
