Blackrock Clan

The Blackrock Clan are one of the most noteworthy Orcish clans, having served as the backbone and leadership of the Orcish Horde and comprising the majority of the Dark Horde. Today, they are increasingly endangered in their numbers even as they integrate with the New Horde.

Distinguishing Features and Practices
The most distinctive feature of the modern Blackrock clan is the ashen-skinned appearance of many of its surviving members. These members - all of whom are or were part of the Dark Horde - were permanently altered by the magic of Blackrock Mountain, turning their fel-green skin to the same ash and soot tones of their fiery home.

Like the Bonechewer Clan, the Blackrocks practiced infanticide on their weak and sickly children prior to contact with the Burning Legion.

Blackhand Loyalists
The Blackrocks who retreated to Blackrock Mountain with Rend Blackhand, and became the core of the Dark Horde - and who have threatened Redridge and the Steppes ever since.
