Blackrock Mountain—the result of what is now widely considered a wrong move—was created when the Dark Iron dwarf Thaurissan summoned Ragnaros into Azeroth. Ragnaros promptly incinerated Thaurissan’s kingdom, creating what is now known as Blackrock Mountain.
Deep beneath the fiery surface of Blackrock Mountain lies a realm of nightmares known as Molten Core. This treacherous domain is home to searing creatures, born of fire and earth, including the most ferocious flamewakers, perilous elementals, and monstrous core hounds.
Any adventurer imprudent or brave enough to invade Ragnaros’ domain must defeat his searing dignitaries before taking on the Firelord, Lord of Flame, Master of all Elementals. You get the idea. You won’t need a raid entirely of warriors or Hydraxian water, just a guildmate and carefully crafted armies of your favorite Minis.
