Dungeons & raids
1 min read
Levels 55–60
The upper halls of Blackrock Spire, where Rend Blackhand and General Drakkisath command the Dark Horde's elite and Nefarian's dragonspawn.
Above the barracks of the lower spire rise the halls of Upper Blackrock Spire, stronghold of Warchief Rend Blackhand and the dragon legions of Nefarian. Past the rune chambers and the bound elemental Pyroguard Emberseer, dragonspawn and Dark Horde veterans guard the rookery and the clan's forges.
In the stadium of Hordemar, Rend Blackhand himself rides the chromatic drake Gyth into battle under the gaze of Lord Victor Nefarius. Deeper still, The Beast and General Drakkisath hold the last halls before the ascent to Blackwing Lair.
