Thunder Axe Fortress is a stronghold occupied by the Burning Blade cult. The fortress is located in northwestern Desolace and is now led by Kohor. While they have lost the Hand of Iruxos years ago, they found a way to summon a very powerful demon named Nazargen. If summoned too soon though, he would be weak enough to be dealt with.

The fortress is made up of a stronghold, a barracks, a cave and several watch towers.

History

They once stored a powerful artifact known as the Inv gauntlets 03 [Hand of Iruxos] within the fortress, which was used to open demon portals at Mannoroc Coven. The fortress also once housed the Inv staff 24 [Sceptre of Light] - an immensely powerful artifact that the Burning Blade stole from the naga. Azore Aldamorthas sought to recover this artifact for the Argent Dawn and did with the aid of an adventurer. Tyranis Malem resided here, a traitor to his people, and a keen pioneer in demonic magics.

In the RPG

Icon-RPG This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

Thunder Axe is the most remote Burning Blade hideaway in the land. Here warlocks practice their dark magic but seems to refrain from their demon-summoning ways, at least to the casual observer. While Thrall is aware of the cult's existence, he has thus far sent only a small contingent of orcs to the area. It is also rumored that a sect from Thunder Axe is allied with the Magram centaur against the Gelkis. Its population is 1,000.[1]
