The quest for ancient knowledge, untold riches, and worldwide fame has lured brothers Eric, Olaf, and Baelog into the depths of Uldaman once again. But it seems these brazen explorers may have stayed underground a bit too long, as their scrambled senses are preventing them from recognizing whether someone is friend... or foe.

Trivia[]
As with the Lost Dwarves' previous appearances in the original Uldaman and the Badlands, this encounter is a tribute to the classic Blizzard game The Lost Vikings. The "Longboat Raid!" ability is a reference to the Lost Vikings' Heroic ability of the same name in Heroes of the Storm, and the voice actors for the three Lost Dwarves (who did not have unique voices in their earlier appearances) are the same as the voice actors for the corresponding Lost Vikings in Heroes of the Storm. The unique music that plays during this encounter is a remix of the "Smugglers' Cove" theme from The Lost Vikings 2, which was also remixed for the Lost Vikings' hero theme in Heroes of the Storm.
