Upper Blackrock Spire

Overview

History

Carved into the fiery core of Blackrock Mountain, this imposing fortress long embodied the might of the Dark Iron dwarves. The black dragon Nefarian and his spawn seized its upper spire and have since waged a brutal war against the dwarves. Allied with Warchief Rend Blackhand and his orcs, the dragons rule over the Upper Spire under the command of General Drakkisath, conducting horrific experiments to bolster their ranks.

Access

The entrance is inside Blackrock Mountain, between Searing Gorge and the Burning Steppes, through Lower Blackrock Spire. The door to the Upper Spire only opens with the Seal of Ascension, earned through a quest.
