A mysterious, sealed-off cave near Blackrock Mountain. This is where players can find Elder Ironband^{[21, 78]}

during the Lunar Festival. When a character stands outside the mouth of the cave, what appears to be a face can be seen in the player's mini-map. Black-"character" may be the origin of the name.
