The Blackrock in the Orc Heritage Questline - Ariok's Return from Draenor

During this festival, all the orcish clans put aside any rivalries to meet in peace for a grand celebration and feast. This questline features notable orcs from all over World of Warcraft's history, many of which have something unique to say! During the feast, Orcs are grouped up at different tables — often based on clan. The Blackrock clan's table includes Eitrigg's son, Ariok, finally returned from Draenor, and Varok Saurfang's half-niece, Thura, makes her first appearance in the game!

This was also the clan of the great Horde hero, Varok Saurgang. Today, the Blackrock clan is led by Eitrigg, a veteran of the First and Second Wars.

I hope it was not a mistake that I came. I wanted to support my father's dream to restore the Kosh'harg, but everyone here Read more on wowhead.com
