Description[ | ]
The Iron Horse Mine is an explorable area northwest of Yak's Bend that contains a large Stone Summit mining facility in the center of it. The eastern and central area of the mine is swarming with Stone Summit and a few Snow Ettins, while the western end is infested with Frostfire Dryders.
The facility itself is setup for extensive strip mining, although the xenocidal dwarves have not fortified the area as greatly as some of their other holdings. This leads many to believe that once the area is void of all its metals, the Stone Summit will vacate the area. Most of the metal is transported far to the south for other fortifications and to create a new weapon for the dwarven civil war. The Deldrimor dwarves have been able to do little but watch.

Notes[ | ]
Area map, fully vanquished
- Vanquishers must defeat 165-202 monsters in this area.
- Finding every last foe can be a challenge in this zone, because there are several patrols with wide areas.
- Extra allies: The Wayward Monk quest will add Cynn as an ally, allowing groups of 7 if starting from Yak's Bend. See also Caravan vanquishing.
- If you have the quest Minaar's Trouble active, there will be 3 groups of Stone Summit close together with 3 Dolyak Riders in the southern area. Once you talk to Minaar, they will split up into patrols.
