Alliance: Stormwind City[]
You mean you can't smell the smoke of the Dwarven forges from here? Well, you will be looking for Therum Deepforge if you want to learn blacksmithing. He's over in the Dwarven District which is just to the north of the Cathedral Square. He is found near the middle of the district, underneath a tent.
Alliance: Ironforge[]
