Blackrock Clan

The Blackrock Clan is one of the largest and most ferocious clans within the Orcish Horde.

Corruption
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 powerful warlock. Because of this the Blackrock clan was one of the first clans to drink the demon's blood. Because of how close Blackhand is to Gul'dan the Blackrock clan is more exposed to the corruption.

First War
It was not long within the arrival of the Orcs on Azeroth that the first town fell. In a combined effort from many different clans, the Grand Hamlet fell. Blackhand situated the majority of his clan in the newly conquered town and from there they begin to raid the surrounding human farms. It was not long before the Blackrock clan was ordered to spearhead the attack on Redridge to the North. The attack was successful and with Gul'dan's orders the Blackrock clan continued even further North where they skirmished the Dark Iron Dwarves until they eventually reached what became known as Blackrock mountain. After a series of events the mountain collapsed on Gul'dan leaving Blackhand vulnerable. Two Orcs from Gul'dan's own taskforce managed to get inside the mountain and slay Gul'dan. Not long after Orgrim arrived and the Orcs told him what they did, and without wasting anytime Orgrim slew his Chieftain on the Bridge into the mountain. With Blackhand dead, Orgrim became the new Chieftain of the Horde and the Blackrock Clan.

Currently the Blackrock clan is situated in the Burning Steppes trying to establish a base, while also repairing broken ties with the Dark Irons.
