Quick Overview

Overseer Oilfist was a Dark Iron craftsman associated with the Thorium Brotherhood. The Brotherhood's metalworkers sought independence from the rule and elemental tyranny surrounding Blackrock Mountain. Oilfist's work reflects their effort to preserve dwarven expertise without submitting to the Firelord or the emperor who ruled in Blackrock Mountain.

Full History

Overseer Oilfist was a Dark Iron dwarf associated with the Thorium Brotherhood, a group of skilled craftsmen who broke with the dominion of Ragnaros. Their metalworking traditions grew from generations spent beneath the shadow of Blackrock Mountain. Working apart from the Dark Iron emperor was a dangerous choice for those who carried the clan’s craft. Oilfist’s place in this story concerns the Brotherhood’s struggle for independence, not a claim that its later Thorium Point outpost was present at original launch.
