One of the three dwarven clans of the War of the Three Hammers. Defeated and exiled, the Dark Iron under the sorcerer-thane Thaurissan retreated to Blackrock Mountain and summoned Ragnaros the Firelord to win their war for them.
Ragnaros came. He obliterated their city, raised Blackrock Mountain in the process, and enslaved them all.
They consider this a reasonable trade.
