Blackmaw Hold

Blackmaw Hold is a great furbolg city in the mountains of northwestern Azshara. Travelers have long stood before its gate and wondered what lay on the other side. Its tunnels run deep and wind far into the mountain.

The city is the capital of the Blackmaw tribe of furbolgs, whose history reaches back to the War of the Ancients, more than ten thousand years ago. In that war the Blackmaw fought the Burning Legion, and their envoy Unng Ak stood with the night elf resistance. When the Burning Legion's corruption crept into the forests of Kalimdor, the furbolgs fell under its sway. The Blackmaw were one of the few tribes to escape it after the Third War.

Now the furbolgs of Blackmaw Hold may be struggling to hold off some kind of corruption, and the city could be dangerous. Anyone who follows its tunnels far into the mountain may meet a different danger altogether.
