Classic Raid Areas
One of the most compelling features of massively-multiplayer
games is the near infinity of things to do in them - content to
suit many different playing styles. 'Raids' are assaults by
larger groups of players on powerful monsters or dungeons and in
World of Warcraft can include everything from a group of lower
level characters tackling a quest well above their level to the
epic end-game, high-level attacks against god-like foes. We
previously spoke with designer Jeffrey Kaplan, who has been
heading up the world and raid design, to hear his thoughts on
where raids are heading in World of Warcraft and how they'll be
implemented. Click here to read more.

lackwing Lair can be found at the very height of Blackrock

Blackrock Depths
Level 60+
he Molten Core lies at the very bottom of Blackrock Depths. It
is the heart of Blackrock Mountain and the exact spot where,
long ago in a desperate bid to turn the tide of the dwarven
civil war, Emperor Thaurissan summoned the elemental Firelord,
Ragnaros, into the world. Though the fire lord is incapable of
straying far from the blazing Core, it is believed that his
elemental minions command the Dark Iron dwarves, who are in the
midst of creating armies out of living stone. The burning lake
where Ragnaros lies sleeping acts as a rift connecting to the
plane of fire, allowing the malicious elementals to pass
through. Chief among Ragnaros' agents is Majordomo Executus -
for this cunning elemental is the only one capable of calling
the Firelord from his slumber.

Dustwallow Marsh
Level 60+
Anyxia is the daughter of the mighty dragon Deathwing, and
sister of the scheming Nefarion Lord of Blackrock Spire. It is
said that Onyxia delights in corrupting the mortal races by
meddling in their political affairs. To this end it is believed
that she takes on various humanoid forms and uses her charm and
power to influence delicate matters between the different races.
Some believe that Onyxia has even assumed an alias once used by
her father - the title of the royal House Prestor. When not
meddling in mortal concerns, Onyxia resides in a fiery cave
below the Dragonmurk, a dismal swamp located within Dustwallow
Marsh. There she is guarded by her kin, the remaining members of
the insidious Black Dragon Flight. .
