The history of this imposing fortress is long and complex. Carved into the fiery core of Blackrock Mountains by the Dark Iron clan centuries ago.
Nefarian and his brood, the upper reaches of Blackrock Spire are now home to the Ironmarch vanguard.
As preparations to use the Spire as the staging ground for a full scale invasion of Azeroth continue, the Iron Horde has set up a terrifying contingency plan: a doomsday weapon within the heart of Blackrock Mountain.
