Checked against v0.123.0Updated October 26, 2026
The Dark Iron and the Blackrock clan march out of the mountain together, fire elementals and dragonkin at their side. Above them circles the Lord of Blackrock. That is the zone's own intro, straight from the game (v0.123.0 build data) — and it names the power you are here to end: Nefarian.
