History

(From Blizzard's site)
Thee mighty fortress carved within the fiery bowels of Blackrock Mountain was designed by the master dwarf-mason, Franclorn Forgewright. Intended to be the symbol of Dark Iron power, the fortress was held by the sinister dwarves for centuries. However, Nefarian - the cunning son of the dragon, Deathwing - had other plans for the great keep. He and his draconic minions took control of the upper Spire and made war on the dwarves' holdings in the mountain's volcanic depths, which serve as the seat of power for Ragnaros the Firelord. Ragnaros has uncovered the secret to creating life from stone and plans to build an army of unstoppable golems to aid him in conquering the whole of Blackrock Mountain.

Nefarian has vowed to crush Ragnaros. To this end, he has recently begun efforts to bolster his forces, much as his father Deathwing had attempted to do in ages past. However, where Deathwing failed, it now seems the scheming Nefarian may be succeeding. Nefarian's mad bid for dominance has even attracted the ire of the Red Dragon Flight, which has always been the Black Flight's greatest foe. Though Nefarian's intentions are known, the methods he is using to achieve them remain a mystery. It is believed, however that Nefarian has been experimenting with the blood of all of the various Dragon Flights to produce unstoppable warriors.

Nefarian's sanctum, Blackwing Lair, can be found at the very height of Blackrock Spire. It is there in the dark recesses of the mountain's peak that Nefarian has begun to unfold the final stages of his plan to destroy Ragnaros once and for all and lead his army to undisputed supremacy over all the races of Azeroth.

Attunement

One must be level 55 and have completed the quest "Blackhand's Command" given by the Scarshield Quartermaster. To get this quest you need to kill the Scarshield Quartermaster (a level 55 elite mob) and loot his letter. The quartermaster is located outside the entrance to Blackrock Spire. When you are facing the Blackrock Spire entrance, turn right and fight through the orcs until you reach an intersection. Straight ahead is a dead-end with a glowing orb - this is the portal to Blackwing Lair. To your left is a stairway leading down. At the bottom is a set of two mobs, just beyond them is the Quartermaster. Once you loot his letter, right-click it to accept the quest. Then proceed into UBRS and kill General Drakkisath. Once he is dead burn your hand on the orb behind him and you are attuned
