Deep Elem Mine

The Deep Elem Mine is a mine in the middle of Silverpine Forest.

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 that the Forsaken could claim the mine as a resource of the Forsaken in name of the Varimathras.

It appears that Gilneas Liberation Front took over the mine following the Cataclysm. Master Forteski, known as the Horseman, stood outside on command of Sylvanas Windrunner with a contingent of her most powerful Veteran Forsaken Troopers, believing she has the leaders of Gilneas Liberation Front cornered. However, it turned out to be a trap set by Ivar Bloodfang; the mine was in fact empty and about to explode. The Forsaken troops were blown to pieces as the mine exploded, with only one messenger to survive and report back.

The Alliance sought to use Deep Elem Mine as a resource in their war against the Horde, and sent forces to bomb away the rubble blocking the entrance. The Horde moved to get rid of the explosives so they could continue mining there themselves.

• The mine's name is likely inspired by the Grateful Dead song "Deep Elem Blues", which is itself a reference to the Deep Ellum neighborhood of Dallas, Texas.
