Mount Gunbad is a dungeon located in the northwest corner of [[The Badlands]] (entrance at 4k,4k). It is divided into four sections. The entrance zone and three wings - the left wing, the middle wing and the right wing. Every wing can be done separately and has its own lockout timers. On your way to the endbosses of each wing, you must fight through various hero mobs. Some of them are mandatory to kill, while some are optional. The mandatory heroes and their loot function like a public quest, the loot of the optional bosses which drop the Gunbad jewelry can be rolled for in your group.

Located on the eastern slopes of the Worlds Edge Mountains, Gunbad was, and still is the only source of Brynduraz ("shining stone" in Khazalid), a blue gem much valued by Dwarf jewellers. Its gold was so crucial for maintaining the Dwarf army that during the War of Vengeance against the High Elves it wasn't forced to supply troops. But the Dwarfs didn't realize their greatest enemy would come from the East.  
Effectively, your Realm should look forward to capture one point as soon as possible, while a few other prevent the capture of the other point, by the opposing Realm. The Cemetery is a location filled with obstacles that could be used for LoS (''Line of Sight'') in order to counter casters and isolate enemies from their healers.
While the bulk of the Dwarf armies were still returning from their victorious campaign against the Elves, disaster came over the Worlds Edge Mountains. Earthquakes covered the mountain passes with rubble, isolating temporarily holds and mines. Gunbad Dwarfs fought valiantly when the Greenskins came, but defeat was inevitable.  
 
Over two hundred years ago Dwarfs came back to Gunbad in great numbers. Led by Logazor Brightaxe, they managed to retake the mines, but this victory left Gunbad isolated in the midst of a land still riddled with Orcs and Goblins, which turned it into a tempting and vulnerable goal. It was just a matter of time before Dwarfs were forced to relinquish their dominion over Gunbad once more. After this defeat, Dwarfs haven't had enough strength to retake the mines to the East of the Worlds Edge Mountains.
