{{Blackrock wings}}
  +
'''Blackrock Caverns''' is the first of two new wings in [[Blackrock Spire]] introduced in ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]''. It is designed as a 5-man instance for players level 80 to 83. It is a series of tunnels created by [[Twilight's Hammer clan]] in order to gather the remaining Ragnaros' minions and transport them back and forth to Mount Hyjal, as well as to perform horrific experiments conducted by the nihilistic cult in order to use the essence of the dragon in order to transform the worthy into dragonspawn. [[Finkle Einhorn]] and [[Raz the Crazed]] were enlisted by the [[Guardians of Hyjal]] to investigate the activity within the caverns. The forces here are led by the [[Ascendant Lord Obsidius]].

Players will need to be level 80, and have an average item level of 226 to use the [[Dungeon Finder]] for the instance. The entrance is just off of the main ring in [[Blackrock Mountain]] on the non-jumping path to Blackrock Spire. Head to the eastern side of the ring to see the summoning stone for Blackrock Spire and follow the path in toward that instance. As it turns north there is a blockade blocking the way. Just past the blockade, look right to see the instance entrance.

Rumors suggest that Deathwing himself carved out the subterranean labyrinth that allows the Twilight's Hammer to secretly transport elementals from the majestic Mount Hyjal to Blackrock Mountain. A vital hub of this shadow network is Blackrock Caverns, site of the cult's blistering forge and some of its most heinous experiments, including the transformation of cultists into twilight dragonkin.

In the bowels of Blackrock Mountain, beneath the more traversed parts of the mountain's spire, the Twilight's Hammer puts this hope into practice. Surrounded by boiling spouts of magma and burning rock - as well as the dangerous elementals that call Blackrock home - the cult will reforge their devoted in the image of the world they work to destroy.<ref>http://us.battle.net/wow/en/zone/blackrock-caverns/</ref>

Location: Blackrock Mountain, Searing Gorge/Burning Steppes. Head towards the Blackrock Spire entrance portal, and take a right. Follow the hallway and take the first left. Follow this path until there’s a fork going left down a walkway, and straight upwards. Take a right down the path (or jump, for those daredevils out there) and take another right, and, Voila. Alternatively, take the Mole Machine from Finkle.

At this time, the undead [[Scourge]] had essentially transformed [[Lordaeron]] and [[Quel'Thalas]] into the toxic [[Plaguelands]]. There were only a few pockets of [[Alliance]] resistance forces left. One such group, consisting primarily of high elves, was led by the last of the [[Sunstrider]] dynasty: Prince [[Kael'thas Sunstrider|Kael'thas]]. Kael, an accomplished wizard himself, grew wary of the failing Alliance. The [[high elf|high elves]] grieved for the loss of their homeland and decided to call themselves [[blood elf|blood elves]] in honor of their fallen people. Yet as they worked to keep the Scourge at bay, they suffered greatly at being cut off from the [[Sunwell]] that had empowered them. Desperate to find a cure for his people's racial addiction to magic, Kael did the unthinkable: he embraced his people's Highborne ancestry and joined with [[Illidan]] and his [[naga]] in hopes of finding a new magical power source upon which to feed. The remaining Alliance commanders condemned the blood elves as traitors and cast them out for good.

With no place left to go, Kael and his blood elves followed Lady [[Vashj]] to [[Outland]] to help contest the warden, [[Maiev Shadowsong|Maiev]], who had recaptured Illidan. With the combined naga and blood elf forces, they managed to defeat Maiev and free Illidan from her grasp. Based in Outland, Illidan gathered his forces for a second strike against the [[Lich King]] and his fortress of Icecrown.

Blackrock Caverns is the first of two new wings in Blackrock Spire introduced in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. It is designed as a 5-man instance for players level 80 to 83. It is a series of tunnels created by Twilight's Hammer clan in order to gather the remaining Ragnaros' minions and transport them back and forth to Mount Hyjal, as well as to perform horrific experiments conducted by the nihilistic cult in order to use the essence of the dragon in order to transform the worthy into dragonspawn. Finkle Einhorn and Raz the Crazed were enlisted by the Guardians of Hyjal to investigate the activity within the caverns. The forces here are led by the Ascendant Lord Obsidius.

Players will need to be level 80, and have an average item level of 226 to use the Dungeon Finder for the instance. The entrance is just off of the main ring in Blackrock Mountain on the non-jumping path to Blackrock Spire. Head to the eastern side of the ring to see the summoning stone for Blackrock Spire and follow the path in toward that instance. As it turns north there is a blockade blocking the way. Just past the blockade, look right to see the instance entrance.

Description

Rumors suggest that Deathwing himself carved out the subterranean labyrinth that allows the Twilight's Hammer to secretly transport elementals from the majestic Mount Hyjal to Blackrock Mountain. A vital hub of this shadow network is Blackrock Caverns, site of the cult's blistering forge and some of its most heinous experiments, including the transformation of cultists into twilight dragonkin.

In the bowels of Blackrock Mountain, beneath the more traversed parts of the mountain's spire, the Twilight's Hammer puts this hope into practice. Surrounded by boiling spouts of magma and burning rock - as well as the dangerous elementals that call Blackrock home - the cult will reforge their devoted in the image of the world they work to destroy.[1]
