Blackrock Clan: Orcs of the Spire
Vanilla WoW Classic 1.12 · x5 realm · wowx5.ru
The Blackrock clan is one of the most warlike orc clans, its history stretching from the warchiefs of the First War to the draconic intrigues of Vanilla.
The legacy of Blackhand
The clan rose to fame under Blackhand, the first Warchief of the Horde in the First War. He was later overthrown by Orgrim Doomhammer. After the Horde's defeat, remnants of the clan settled in Blackrock Spire, refusing to go to the internment camps.
Rend and the dragon pact
| Figure | Role |
|---|---|
| Rend Blackhand | Warchief of the clan |
| Maim Blackhand | Rend's brother |
| Nefarian | Manipulating dragon |
Blackhand's son Rend proclaimed himself the true Warchief of the Horde, but fell under the sway of the dragon Nefarian, son of Deathwing. Nefarian uses the clan as an army for his experiments on the dragonflights in Blackwing Lair.
Significance in Vanilla
The Blackrock clan is the chief foe of the mountain complex. Players storm Lower and Upper Blackrock Spire, fighting toward General Drakkisath. From here opens the path into Blackwing Lair — the heart of the draconic scheme.
Blackrock Mountain is a unique place where Blackrock orcs, Dark Iron dwarves and Black dragons all dwell under one roof.
Blackrock Mountain on an x5 server
Blackrock Spire is one of the richest complexes in Vanilla. Lower Spire is a large 10-player dungeon in the original, Upper Spire requires a key and leads to General Drakkisath, and through him opens the entrance to Blackwing Lair. The Blackrock clan also means signature items: armor sets from bosses and reputation rewards. For an orc player of the Horde, Rend's story is a reminder of the old, "demonic" Horde that Thrall rejected for a new path.
