| − | The '''Blackrock clan''' led the charge during the [[First War]] and [[Second War]]. During that time period, it was one of the largest and most feared of the orc clans. During the [[Third War]] a faction of the clan tried to summon demons, while another group is still fighting the [[Alliance]] and is known as the [[Dark Horde]]. |

| − | Prior to the orcs corruption, the clan was led by Orgrim's father, [[Telkar Doomhammer]]. After Telkar died of old age, [[Blackhand]] took over the clan and soon fell to the manipulations of [[Gul'dan]], becoming a mere figurehead for the warlock. |

| − | === Second War === |
||
| − | The clan's forces achieved a number of victories during the Second War, though the betrayal of Gul'dan forced Doomhammer to divide his forces and send a part of the clan to hunt him down and slaughter his followers. The event weakened the Blackrocks, who were eventually defeated and nearly destroyed during the [[assault on Blackrock Spire]], and Orgrim Doomhammer was himself captured and sent to [[Lordaeron]] in chains. The Blackrock clan did not disappear; though; the few remaining orcs who had not been captured or killed at the battle returned to Blackrock Spire and began to rebuild. Unlike the other orcs, they remained steadfast to the ideals of the old Horde, including demon worship and depraved blood lust. They became a beacon for orcs who longed for the old days, and soon enough their ranks began to swell again. |
||

| − | === Third War === |
||
| − | In the intervening years between the Second War and Third War, the Blackrock clan became a major problem for the Alliance. A faction in Lordaeron under the leadership of [[Jubei'thos]] re-embraced their demon-worshipping heritage,<ref name=W3H2>{{ref game|title=Warcraft III|campaign=[[The Scourge of Lordaeron]]|mission=[[Blackrock & Roll]]}}</ref> staged raids on a number of defenseless Alliance towns,<ref>{{ref game|title=Warcraft III|campaign=[[The Scourge of Lordaeron]]|mission=[[The Defense of Strahnbrad]]}}</ref> and sacrificed their villagers to the Legion. They did this because their [[warlock|warlocks]] told them that [[demon|demons]] would rain from the skies and the world would burn (referring to the coming of the [[Burning Legion]] in the following months).<ref name=W3H2/> They also ignored [[Thrall]]'s call to return to [[shamanism]].<ref name=WoWRPG166>''[[World of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game]]'', pg. 166</ref> During the Third War, most of the Blackrock forces in Lordaeron were killed by [[Arthas]] and [[Kel'Thuzad]]'s [[Scourge]]. Jubei'thos and his lieutenants had in their possession a demon gate which Kel'Thuzad needed to communicate with [[Archimonde]].<ref>{{ref game|title=Warcraft III|campaign=[[Path of the Damned]]|mission=[[Blackrock n' Roll Too!]]}}</ref> The Blackrock orcs that Thrall didn't liberate from the humans' [[internment camp|internment camps]] were likely killed by the Scourge.<ref name=WoWRPG166/> |
||

| − | However, other members joined the modern Horde under Thrall, like [[Eitrigg]]. Orgrim Doomhammer was a mentor to Thrall, and the orc capital of [[Orgrimmar]] was named after him. Regardless, the Blackrock orcs in the New Horde don't seem to have maintained a clan identity and are now simply Horde orcs. |

| − | === Aftermath of the Third War === |
||
| − | [[Image:Blackrock Banner.jpg|thumb|Blackrock clan banner.]] |
||
| − | Currently, the Blackrock clan still mainly resides in and around [[Blackrock Spire]] under the leadership of [[Rend Blackhand]], where they war with the [[Dark Iron dwarves]] for control of the area. Their holdings also include territory in the [[Burning Steppes]] and the [[Redridge Mountains]]. They have formed the [[Dark Horde]] and have become a dire threat to nearby towns like [[Lakeshire]], whose defenses are severely strained against their raids. It has also been rumored that they have allied with a group of [[black dragon|black dragons]] led by [[Nefarian]], [[Deathwing]]'s son. They are but one of the pawns Nefarian is using to undermine the human kingdom of [[Stormwind]]. |
