Uldum



Uldum is an ancient hall of stone located in the southern reaches of Tanaris desert.

Fragments of notes unearthed from Bael Modan suggest that a great titan city lies deep within the rocky expanse of the southern desert. So far, dwarven expeditions have yet to track down the location of Uldum, but they are confident that it’s only a matter of time.Uldum was one of the three ancient halls in which the earthen (the ancestors of the Dwarves) were left to sleep by their titan creators. Similar locations exist at Uldaman and Ulduar; additionally, a fourth location, Maraudon, is the location of Terramok, an ancient titan vault.

Uldum was mentioned in legends of Azeroth, but its location long remained a mystery. Brann Bronzebeard mentioned in his travelogue, "Lands of Mystery" that he searched for it all over Tanaris, but could never find it. He wondered if it could just be another name for the Caverns of Time, but he didn't know for sure. However his assumption proved to be false, as Uldum is actually located on the southern edge of the desert.

Uldum in World of Warcraft
Uldum is most likely an instance under the rule of Earthen, Golems, Sea Giants, or Titans. To enter Uldum, you will most likely need to finish the quest chain The Platinum Discs, which starts at the Discs of Norgannon, guarded by Archaedas, deep within Uldaman.

It is also likely that the inclusion of Uldum as an instanced dungeon in-game will coincide with the addition of Northrend (and the third Titan facility of Ulduar, located in Northrend). It is therefore probable that Uldum will be an "off-location" addition to the eventual Northrend expansion, also known as Wrath of the Lich King, similarly to the way Caverns of Time and Karazhan were added in the Burning Crusade.


 * NOTE: Uldum's inclusion as an instance has not been formally announced, although its entrance is present in the game world.


 * ''BLUE POST: "Uldum is an area we would love to add at some point in the future, but we currently have no announced plans to do so."


 * With the use of map viewers, Uldum does not exist beyond the door which is present in the game. Unlike nearby Zul'Farrak which is fully assembled, nothing at all exists for Uldum.
