Blackrock Foundry
This foundry was the ancestral home of the Blackrock orcs, wherein master smiths smelted and worked the impossibly hard ore that is the clan's namesake. Now, massive giants captured and broken by the Thunderlord heat the great forges, flamebenders of the Burning Blade imbue the ore with an inner fire, and engineers shape the slag according to otherworldly schematics. Warlord Blackhand's foundry is the center of the Iron Horde's military might, churning out the weaponry that will be used to raze Azeroth.
The entrance is in Gorgrond at 51.6, 27.1 (/way #543 51.6 27.1).
Blackrock Foundry entrance- Beastlord Darmac drops 1 piece of this set (Waist) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 66.3, 72.2 on the Blackrock Foundry map. As a young orc, Darmac quickly rose through the ranks of the Thunderlord as a gifted trainer of beasts. Where others only saw animal instincts, he recognized intellect and drew forth untapped potential from brain and muscle and bone. When the Iron Horde demanded his service, Darmac saw no greater honor than to outfit and train the most savage beasts Draenor had to offer.
- Flamebender Ka'graz drops 1 piece of this set (Chest) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 19.5, 76.9 on the Blackrock Foundry map.

- Operator Thogar drops 2 pieces of this set (Wrist, Shoulder) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.1, 22.0 on the Blackrock Foundry map.

- The Blast Furnace drops 1 piece of this set (Legs) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 46.0, 53.5 on the Blackrock Foundry map. The Blackrock clan's unique ability to smelt the black ore, a substance so dense that ordinary flame does not even soften it, has always been their most closely-guarded secret. Deep within the Foundry, their furnace contains a primal force as old as Draenor itself, raging within the confines of its prison as it emanates a preternatural heat.
- Kromog drops 2 pieces of this set (Shoulder, Head) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 33.2, 43.1 on the Blackrock Foundry map. The magnaron are mysterious in their ways, ancient and inscrutable. Miners excavating an expansion to the Foundry, in support of the Iron Horde's massive production needs, were horrified to unearth a chamber containing a living magnaron. To their astonishment, Kromog began to assist in their endeavors, and now uses his massive stone fists to hammer out the gigantic plates needed for the Iron Horde's dreadnaughts and siege machinery.
- The Iron Maidens drops 2 pieces of this set (Legs, Hands) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 82.3, 28.4 on the Blackrock Foundry map. With little opportunity to exercise her tactical brilliance under the ancient social structure of the orc clans, Gar'an was thrilled to be one of the first warriors to volunteer for naval duty under the Iron Horde. Instantly successful in battle, she was named Admiral of the Iron Horde fleet and selected Marak and Sorka as her lieutenants. Together, they are called the Iron Maidens, and have crushed any who have dared face them in battle.
- Blackhand drops 1 piece of this set (Head) on Normal, Heroic and Mythic. Adventure Guide map pin: 48.5, 34.5 on the Blackrock Foundry map. A ruthless tyrant and fierce warrior, Blackhand is Warlord of the Blackrock clan, second only to Grommash in stature within the Iron Horde. Bathed in sweltering heat that few other mortals could withstand, Blackhand oversees the operations of his Foundry from atop its Crucible, wielding his smoldering slag hammer to forge weapons of peerless quality.
