Question that's been bothering me for awhile:

Is Deathwing affiliated with the Old Gods? He was corrupted by them and is certainly an enemy of the other dragonflights, and by extension the Titans, but in Blackrock Mountain his son fights against Ragnaros, a powerful servant of said gods.

Neltharion the Earth-Warder was driven mad by the Old Gods that were imprisoned within Azeroth. That is why he betrayed the other Dragonflights and change his name to Deathwing. He wasn't affiliated with them or he would have free them. It was the Dark Iron Dwarves that freed Ragnaros from his confinement in hopes of getting the upper hand on the other two families of Dwarf. They grossly underestimated his power and it turned two regions into burned out wastelands and Blackrock into a volcano. Now I am not sure but I believe that Blackrock mountain was a haven for the Black Dragonflight, so Ragnaros changes had ruined much of their former roost. Hence, the battle between the two powers over Blackrock.
