Upper Blackrock Spire is the upper area of greater Blackrock Spire complex, and serves as a main base of operations for the Ironmarch expedition of the Iron Horde in Azeroth, led by one of the Garrosh's staunchest supporters, Warlord Zaela. Formerly occupied by the Dark Horde and black dragonflight under Nefarian, remnants of his forces also entrenched themselves in the area.

Adventure Guide

The history of this imposing fortress is long and complex. Carved into the fiery core of Blackrock Mountain by the Dark Iron clan centuries ago, and eventually taken by the black dragon Nefarian and his brood, the upper reaches of Blackrock Spire are now home to the Ironmarch vanguard. As preparations to use the Spire as the staging ground for a full-scale invasion of Azeroth continue, the Iron Horde has set up a terrifying contingency plan: a doomsday weapon within the heart of Blackrock Mountain.

• Hotfix (2014-10-14): Resolved an issue where items were incorrectly disenchanting into Warlords of Draenor enchanting materials.

• Patch 6.0.2 (2014-10-14): Now a separate instance from LBRS, retuned for level 100 players. Encounters updated to reflect recent storyline developments. Partially expanded. Blackwing Lair entrance moved to Blackrock Mountain.
