Fineous Darkvire is a Dark Iron dwarf mini-boss found in Blackrock Depths. He was the Chief Architect of the Dark Iron dwarves in Shadowforge City. When his predecessor, the great architect Franclorn Forgewright, passed away, his hammer known as Inv hammer 23 [Ironfel] was handed down to him.

Darkvire died when Magni Bronzebeard sent a rescue team came to rescue his daughter Moira.[1] The adventurers wrestled the hammer from Darkvire's grasp, and returned it to the Shrine of Thaurissan in Blackrock Depths by demand of Forgewright's ghost himself. They were bestowed with the Inv misc key 08 [Shadowforge Key] in exchange for their assistance.[2][3]

His daughter, Fenella Darkvire, who does not share his bad reputation, is now one of the premier architects of Queen Moira Thaurissan. Ironically, his poor reputation was not of his own doing, but his daughter's, who presented stolen plans to the Emperor in his name. In order to protect her reputation, as his was tarnished, he went along with the deception; eventually leading to his death.[1]

Adventure Guide[]

Chief Architect Fineous Darkvire earned his title by passing off the ideas of more gifted masons as his own. His arrogance and scheming have drawn the ire of his predecessor, Franclorn Forgewright, from beyond the grave. The ghost of the late chief architect seeks to reclaim his incredibly powerful hammer--Ironfel--from Darkvire before it can be used for ill.
