![]() He is now located in Sulfuron Keep, his seat of power within the Firelands. Main article: Ragnaros (Firelands tactics)Īfter being defeated in Molten Core, Ragnaros was banished back to the Elemental Plane. Ragnaros, as seen in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm. Ragnaros has uncovered the secret to creating life from stone and plans to build an army of unstoppable golems to aid him in conquering the whole of Blackrock Mountain. He and his dwarven minions took control of the Blackrock mountain's volcanic depths and made war on the orcs in the Upper Blackrock Spire, which served as the seat of power for Nefarian the black dragon. Meanwhile, in Sulfuron Keep and elsewhere across the Firelands, his elemental princes battle constantly for dominance. ![]() Now he lies at the bottom of that volcano on Azeroth, striving to find a way home, as well as to gather his strength once again so he can burn away Azeroth and take it for his own. Witnessing the horrific devastation and the fires spreading across the southern mountains, the Bronzebeards' King Madoran and Wildhammers' King Khardros halted their armies and hastily turned back towards their kingdoms, unwilling to face the awesome wrath of Ragnaros. The Bronzebeards and Wildhammers, however, remain free. They worship Ragnaros, considering him not only a Elemental Lord but also an Old God, ( LoC 191-192) although he is only affiliated with the Old Gods. Many Dark Iron dwarves remain within the lower areas of the mountain, especially Blackrock Depths, toiling away at the behest of Ragnaros and the Firelord's lieutenants. Though Thaurissan was killed by the forces he had unleashed, his surviving Dark Iron clan brethren were ultimately enslaved by Ragnaros and his elementals. The volcano, known as Blackrock Mountain, was bordered by what is now known as the Searing Gorge, to the north, and the Burning Steppes, to the south. Ragnaros' apocalyptic rebirth into Azeroth shattered the Redridge Mountains and created a raging volcano at the center of the devastation. ![]() Now, freed by Thaurissan's call, Ragnaros erupted into being once again. To Thaurissan's surprise, and ultimately his doom, the creature that emerged was more terrible than any nightmare he could have imagined. Thaurissan, seeking to summon a supernatural minion that would turn the tide of the war back to his favor, called upon the ancient powers sleeping beneath the world. In a short time, the Dark Irons' fortunes took a turn for the worse, and they were pushed back to the city of Thaurissan, the Dark Iron dwarven home. The Bronzebeard dwarves repelled his attack and quickly dispatched aid to the Wildhammer dwarves. Modgud was succesful in her assault upon the Wildhammer dwarves, but Thaurissan proved less succesful. During this War of the Three Hammers, the Dark Iron dwarf leader named Thaurissan lay siege to the Bronzebeard's capital city of Ironforge, while his wife Modgud attacked the Wildhammer capital of Grim Batol. Until comparatively recently, he ruled his underground land with a molten iron fist.Īround three hundred years ago the ambitious and ruthless Dark Iron clan initiated a war against their dwarven brethren, the Bronzebeard clan and Wildhammer clan, thinking that they were about to unite against the Dark Irons. In the center of a vast lake of fire in the Elemental Plane stands Sulfuron Keep, the home of Ragnaros. Ragnaros divided what remained between his servants, Baron Geddon and Garr. Thunderaan was utterly defeated and the Firelord feasted upon his essence, but was unable to consume him entirely. It was during the Elemental Sundering that Ragnaros attacked Thunderaan, Prince of Air. For five millennia a battle was fought at the core of this world. It was then and there that the brothers turned on each other. The victorious Titans banished him and his brethren to the Elemental Plane - there to remain imprisoned until the end of time. As a servant of the Old Gods, he fought against the Titans for domination over the planet. The Firelord and his brethren once held sway over the entire world.
