History
The Blackmorns of Wolf's Crossing are an ancient house whose origins date back to the first Arathi humans. Their sigil is a pair of black wolves locked in combat on a smoke-gray field and their motto, We are the dogs of war is well known--and that they were. Before they bent a knee to the Menethils during Lordaeron's rise, the Blackmorns had never been defeated in the field--driving out numerous would-be invaders and ruling as Kings in a land many warned was too wild to be tamed. It was only through the diplomatic efforts of the Earl of White Harbor that the house of Blackmorn eventually became subjects of Lordaeron. To ease tensions between the two houses, the Blackmorns were made lords paramount of the Crossing and held the title for centuries until the death of Terenas Menethil II, after which, Jon Blackmorn restored the Crossing to its former sovereign state and was crowned at Saint Varyk's Cathedral.

Wolf's Crossing is the ancestral home of house Blackmorn and is located in the northeastern region betweenLordaeron and lower Quel'Thalas. The Crossing spanned many thousands of acres of forest, streams and fields before it was divided up into several smaller holdings in the years following Lordaeron's rise. Wolf's Crossing was first settled by Anton Blackmorn and his clan, a fierce band of warriors who were renowned for both their brutal tactics and their success in decimating the trolls that plagued the Arathi humans for many years. Using wolves in battle to frighten and ravage their enemies, Anton and his warriors cut a bloody swathe through the heavily forested region and any enemy foolish enough to stand in their way, be they trolls or other humans. The Blackmorns are descended from the first Arathi humans and their line has remained unbroken throughout the ages.
