K3 is a neutral goblin base camp located on the southern base of Storm Peaks on the continent of Northrend. The goblins came in the region to loot the titan machines, but have trouble with the local wildlife. It is also the location for "Honest" Max, who will give away a free flying mount to adventurers that are level 10 and have not purchased 
[Cold Weather Flying].[1][2]
During the war against the Lich King, the frost vrykul Hyldnir of Sifreldar Village raided K3 when the outpost was first set up, and took off all the men as captives to work in their mines, leaving the females.[3] Most of them were later rescued by adventurers.[4]

Inspiration
K3 may be inspired by the mountains in the Karakoram mountain range which includes mountains originally named K1 to K5. K2 is the second-highest mountain on Earth after Mount Everest.
Also a possible reference to "K-3" a mining planet in the movie "Serenity" created by Joss Whedon.
Many of the goblin defenses are reminiscent of the game Team Fortress 2 by Valve. These include sentry guns, demolition bombs, sappers (although in this case they are people and not devices), and teleporters.
