Ragnaros the Firelord is an incredibly powerful Elemental Lord and master of all fire elementals. He rules over his minions from deep inside the fiery core of Blackrock Mountain.

It is possible for two handed mace wielders to obtain a mortal-sized copy of his weapon, [Sulfuras, Hand of Ragnaros].

Ragnaros is voiced by Chris Metzen.

Ragnaros appears in World of Warcraft as the final encounter in Molten Core. He will make another appearance in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

After being defeated in Molten Core, Ragnaros was banished back to the Elemental Plane. He will be featured in the next expansion, World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, where he will be located in Sulfuron Keep, his seat of power within the Firelands. He and his armies will be launching a full scale assault on Mount Hyjal, attempting to burn the now-regrowing World Tree.

It seems that he has allied with Deathwing, therefore ending his war against Neferian's forces, and uniting them as a single army. He is one of two Elemental Lords allied with Deathwing, the other is Al'Akir.
