==Background==
===Loken's rebellion===
When Loken was corrupted by Yogg-Saron and had already indisposed most of the other Keepers, Archaedas and Tyr fled with their friend Ironaya, a giantess, as well as mechagnomes, earthen, and vrykul of the Storm Peaks.World of Warcraft: Chronicle Volume 1 She accompanied Tyr to the Dragon Isles when he gave the Dragon Aspects the Silver Scale as part of his contingency plan in case Loken killed him.Memories of the Past Ironaya and her allies would later steal the Discs of Norgannon from Ulduar and flee south.
Loken sent two C'Thraxxi after the group, and Tyr held them off, giving his life in the process. The vrykul stayed behind to honor him. After burying Tyr, Ironaya and the others traveled south to Uldaman and hid the Discs of Norgannon there. The earthen, fearing the Curse of Flesh, asked to be put into hibernation until the day would come that a cure could be found. The mechagnomes, even knowing they were also cursed, volunteered to stay awake and keep watch over the earthen. Ironaya and Archaedas also entered hibernation within Uldaman's vaults.
===World of Warcraft===
Thousands of years later, Ironaya awakened when intruders delved into Uldaman and fought them off. She was defeated.
Following the Fourth War, Mathias Shaw reported that he knows of a rumor about Uldaman's Chamber of Khaz'mul which is opened by the Staff of Prehistoria in the Map Chamber. According to a story, adventurers that would get the staff and enter the chamber would fight off Ironaya. Mathias, however, hasn't seen anyone carrying the staff.World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth: The Eastern Kingdoms, pg. 52
==Adventure Guide==
The titans did not construct the Uldaman complex directly but utilized various servants to create its megalithic halls. The Pantheon entrusted the watcher Ironaya with overseeing the construction and maintenance of Uldaman, but as time passed, the once awe-inspiring vault fell to ruin. Within the map chamber, Ironaya has spent millennia in a form of stasis, analyzing the original master plan drawn up by Khaz'goroth and attempting to find a way to restore the complex to its original functionality.

==Notes and trivia==
*To summon her, Staff of Prehistoria was needed before Cataclysm.
*The start of the event is greatly reminiscent of the film Raiders of the Lost Ark, but the results differ.
*Ironaya shares the same metal with an "-aya" suffix naming convention as Auriaya, another titanic creation.
*Ironaya is voiced by Kath Soucie.
*Ironaya was not present, as a corpse or otherwise, when adventurers returned to the Map Chamber as part of the expedition into Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr. Since Archaedas may not be dead but instead merely disabled,World of Warcraft: Exploring Azeroth: The Eastern Kingdoms, pg. 55 it's possible the same goes for her.
*The League of Explorers adventure for Hearthstone features a minion called which closely resembles Ironaya. The card's artwork is labeled as "Ironaya-Keeper of Uldaman" on the artist's DeviantArt page, but the minion is never referred to as "Ironaya" in-game.
==Speculation==
She probably was the one who placed the seals that prevented Zakajz the Corruptor from coming back to life before Thoradin's arrival at Tyr's Fall (see The Sword of Kings).
