The '''Molten Core''' is a level 60 raid dungeon located within [[Blackrock Mountain]], home to [[Ragnaros|Ragnaros the Firelord]]. It was one of two forty (40) player raid dungeons available upon release of ''World of Warcraft'', with the other being [[Onyxia's Lair]]. Considered the pinnacle of raiding achievement at the time, the Molten Core enticed adventurers to enter the instance in the search of realm glory.

The [[Old Gods' forces]] are the collective grouping of all the entities and organizations that serve the [[Old Gods]] that exists since the shaping of [[Azeroth]] at this time constituted mainly by enslaved elementals and Old God creations. Although the original faction suffered an [[War for the shaping of Azeroth|defeat]] and their masters (and almost, if not all of the minions) were locked away or into of Azeroth the faction appears to regrow over the various millenniums, very slowly, gaining the adhesion of some groups of mortals and other factions, awaiting the time of the liberation and return of their [[evil]] masters.

In [[Ahn'Qiraj War|the recent times]] become clear the increasing of the [[Old Gods]] activities in Azeroth, and despite today the [[Old Gods' forces]] likes an '''unofficial''' [[faction]], with most of their members just allying one with other (like the [[Black dragonflight|Black flight]], [[Firelands]], [[Skywall]], [[naga]] of [[Nazjatar]], [[Twilight's Hammer]] cult and some sub-affiliated factions) but with no real internal organization, it appears that this alliance, may be thinking that the time has come, launch a [[Elemental War|massive assault]] in a attempt to expand their influence, territory and power and reshape Azeroth.

The Molten Core was created during the [[War of the Three Hammers]] more than 300 years ago. Near the end of the war, Thaurissan, the leader of the [[Dark Iron Dwarves]], sought to summon a powerful fire elemental to defeat the combined forces of the Bronzebeard and Wildhammer clans.

* The [[Firelands#Denizens|Firelands minions]] of [[Ragnaros]]
−
:''The Molten Core lies at the very bottom of [[Blackrock Depths]]. It is the heart of [[Blackrock Mountain]] and the exact spot where, long ago in a desperate bid to turn the tide of the dwarven civil war, Emperor [[Thaurissan]] summoned the elemental [[Firelord]], [[Ragnaros]], into the world. Though the firelord is incapable of straying far from the blazing Core, it is believed that his elemental minions command the Dark Iron dwarves, who are in the midst of creating armies out of living stone. The burning lake where Ragnaros lies sleeping acts as a rift connecting to the plane of fire, allowing the malicious elementals to pass through. Chief among Ragnaros' agents is [[Majordomo Executus]] - for this cunning elemental is the only one capable of calling the Firelord from his slumber.''

** {{NPC||Ragnaros}}, ruler of the [[Firelands]] has agreed to ally with Deathwing to burn down the [[world tree]] of [[Nordrassil]]

*** [[Conclave of Wind]] serve directly under Al'akir
−
On release, Molten Core and Onyxia's Lair were the only 40 man instances in the game, thus Ragnaros was the first "game end boss." With the advent of [[Blackwing Lair]], [[Ahn'Qiraj]], [[Naxxramas]], and the raising of the level cap with the game's expansions, defeating Ragnaros has long since ceased to be the pinnacle of raiding success. However, prior to the Burning Crusade, slaying him was still considered a very important step in raid progression before engaging in more challenging content. It was the first raid encounter which required a concerted effort in acquiring massive amounts of a particular statistic (in this case, fire resistance). Moreover, the encounter was the first one to demand the extensive use of consumables, at least in the learning process and in the first few kills. As such, it was once a very important stage in the evolution of a raiding guild.

* {{RaceIconExt|Hydra}} The Old Gods keep many [[Azerothian Hydra]]s demigods as pets.

However, as of the [[Burning Crusade]] expansion, this is no longer the case, as this instance is largely obsolete with the introduction of Outland green items with superior stats to most of Tier 1 (and the fact that most higher instances are lower than 40 man, making them a much more practical way to go). It is now typically only run for the {{achievement|Molten Core (achievement)|Molten Core}} achievement, or by players seeking to craft {{item|Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros}} or {{item|Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker}}.

While technically there are no prerequisites to enter Molten Core through its entrance at the bottom of Blackrock Depths, every Core raider will want to complete the {{quest|Attunement to the Core|Attunement to the Core}} quest to enable the shortcut at the bottom of Blackrock Mountain. This quest is given at level 55 by [[Lothos Riftwaker]] who is located just outside The Quarry, on the way to [[Blackrock Depths]]. Once attuned you can access Molten Core by talking to Lothos again. When dead (as ghost) you also have the possibility to jump into the lava near Lothos. This can also be done by living players if they have a way to slow fall, or by jumping first onto the small ledge in the pillar on the right as you enter the main chamber of Blackrock Mountain, healing, then jumping down, back toward the wall of the lava pit, to cover the remaining distance to the platform below.
 
   
  +
==History==
−
There are very few quests that involve the Molten Core. The only significant quest chain is the [[Hydraxian_Waterlords#Quests|Hydraxian Waterlords]] chain, which can be started by a visit to [[Hydraxian Waterlords|Duke Hydraxis]] off the coast of Azshara. Completing this quest chain will require killing one of each of the trash mobs in the Core, and then defeating the four [[Flamewaker]] bosses in Molten Core (Lucifron, Gehennas, Shazzrah, and Sulfuron Harbinger). In addition, all the trash mobs and bosses in Molten Core provide Hydraxian Waterlord reputation. The final reward options for this quest chain are {{loot|rare|Tidal Loop}} or {{loot|rare|Ocean's Breeze}}, both rare rings with high Fire Resistance.

====Defeat and allegiances within====
−
Before Ragnaros can be summoned, the raid must defeat Majordomo Executus. Majordomo Executus will only appear if the raid douses the seven runes that are located near certain bosses in the Molten Core. Prior to [[Patch 3.0.8]], the runes could only be doused with the use of [[Aqual Quintessence]] (which can only be acquired by speaking with [[Duke Hydraxis]]), or via the use of [[Eternal Quintessence]] (usable once per hour, and which can be obtained from [[Duke Hydraxis]] when a player reaches Revered status with the [[Hydraxian Waterlords]]). With the introduction of [[Patch 3.0.8]], killing the boss that is associated with a rune will now automatically douse the rune.

Molten Core is a [[raid]] instance. This means that it is on a strict timer schedule, which resets once a week, and once a character has been "saved to the instance" by killing a boss, that character cannot enter a different instance of Molten Core that week.

===Post-first [[sundering]]===
−
Each of the bosses in Molten Core has a very specific [[Molten Core Loot|loot table]], which includes the [[Tier 1]] armor pieces as well as a number of other epic-quality items. In addition, the trash mobs in Molten Core provide Fiery Cores, Lava Cores, and Core Leather, which can be used with recipes earned at high levels of [[Thorium Brotherhood]] reputation to craft epic armor and weapons. It is generally the case that a raid progressing through Molten Core will use these Cores to craft Fire Resistance armor, which will allow the melee DPS of the raid to survive the final encounters with Majordomo Executus and Ragnaros.

With the arrival of ''[[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]]'' the popularity of the Molten Core took a turn for the worse, with items available in the expansion superior in quality to that of the Molten Core or any of the other forty player instances at the time. However, frustration with the hours-long instance duration were alleviated, allowing players to power through the Molten Core in record time - trivializing content. New abilities and better gear reduced the numbers of players needed to complete Molten Core from 40 to below 10.

In ''[[WOTLK|Wrath Of the Lich King]]'', it is possible for some classes to solo Molten Core. The classes doing this are usually Paladins and Death Knights, but Hunters, Shamans, Warlocks and Warriors have also managed to single-handedly defeat bosses.

In ''[[Cataclysm]]'', new abilities and equipment allows players to become several times as powerful as in WOTLK. This allows classes that were previously not able to solo Molten Core, such as Rogues, to do. Indeed, while unconfirmed, it is likely that all players with Cataclysm-quality items and abilities (beyond level 80) are able to solo Molten Core with little difficulty.

At this time, very little was known about the Old Gods and their maddened worshippers--practically none on [[Azeroth]] were directly aware of the existence of the Old Gods until [[C'Thun]] made its ominous presence clearly felt within the depths of [[Ahn'Qiraj]].<br />

It is self-evident however that the Old Gods possess worshippers across all the world's peoples and cultures somehow. The Old Gods are imprisoned and asleep deep beneath the earth, but their power is so vast that their maddening, destructive taint seeps from their prisons and appears to tear away at the sanity of an unknown number of Azeroth's inhabitants. To what extent sentient beings can fall under the influence of the Old Gods in this manner is not well understood, but those who hear the Old Whisperings most clearly have joined together in a coalition that is known as the [[Twilight's Hammer]]. Most of these cultists and followers have lost every ounce of their sanity and have become completely unpredictable and malefic, and, sometimes, things which are far worse. Through the leadership of the [[ogre-mage]] [[Cho'gall]], a powerful servant of C'Thun, the Twilight's Hammer has in recent times become the focal point for mortal worship of the Old Gods, and the cult's influence has since begun to increase alarmingly. Former members of both [[Alliance]] and [[Horde]] inexplicably flock to its service as if heeding a silent calling, and unrepentantly assist in bringing about the final hour of mortal existence on Azeroth. Large groups of the Twilight's Hammer have been observed to settle at or near sites where they believe the Old Gods or their minions are sealed away; many await C'Thun's awakening in [[Silithus]], while others appear to serve [[Ragnaros]] in the [[Blackrock Depths]] alongside the [[Dark Iron dwarves]].<ref>''[[Horde Player's Guide]]'', 169</ref> The largest concentrations of the Twilight's Hammer however are located at [[Grim Batol]] and the [[Bastion of Twilight]], within a region of the [[Eastern Kingdoms]] that is now referred to as the [[Twilight Highlands]].

In some cases, evil but still sane individuals have been known to deliberately turn to worship of the Old Gods out of spite, when they feel that other, more mainstream powers have mistreated them. Anarchists also sometimes fall to worship of the Old Gods out of a desire to destroy the world; some believe a new, better existence will rise up in the wake of the destruction. In either case, these individuals are deluded or misinformed and any who do manage to make even the barest real contact with the Old Gods go hopelessly and irrevocably insane.

These avatars, known as the [[qiraji]], represent dark and powerful mockeries of life and have served as the Old God's heralds for millenia.

The Old Gods' forces are the collective grouping of all the entities and organizations that serve the Old Gods that exists since the shaping of Azeroth at this time constituted mainly by enslaved elementals and Old God creations. Although the original faction suffered an defeat and their masters (and almost, if not all of the minions) were locked away or into of Azeroth the faction appears to regrow over the various millenniums, very slowly, gaining the adhesion of some groups of mortals and other factions, awaiting the time of the liberation and return of their evil masters.

In the recent times become clear the increasing of the Old Gods activities in Azeroth, and despite today the Old Gods' forces likes an unofficial faction, with most of their members just allying one with other (like the Black flight, Firelands, Skywall, naga of Nazjatar, Twilight's Hammer cult and some sub-affiliated factions) but with no real internal organization, it appears that this alliance, may be thinking that the time has come, launch a massive assault in a attempt to expand their influence, territory and power and reshape Azeroth.
