Thordun Hammerblow is a Wildhammer dwarf first encountered by Alliance players inland[[:File:|[, ]]] from the Twilight Shore in the Twilight Highlands. Players assist in nursing his injured gryphon, Lightning, back to health, and then accompany Thordun to Highbank, where he continues to function as a quest giver. Thordun serves as the Alliance's first contact with the Wildhammer clans within the Highlands.
