Background
Adventure Guide says
Centuries ago, sorcerer-thane Thaurissan and seven of his most powerful Dark Iron allies accidentally summoned Ragnaros into Azeroth and damned their entire clan to enslavement. Although the Seven perished during the ritual, their restless spirits still linger in Blackrock Depths, cursed to serve their elemental master and the current Dark Iron ruler.
The journal lists 7 other creatures in this encounter: Anger'rel, Doom'rel, Dope'rel, Gloom'rel, Hate'rel, Seeth'rel and Vile'rel.
