Collected from wiki and stuff:)

General:
Level: 60+
# of Players: 40
Location: Raid instance located inside Blackrock Depths under Blackrock Mountain. Home of the firelord Ragnaros (In Azeroth), one of the four elemental lieutenants of the Old Gods.
Abbreviation: MC

Prereqs
While technically there are no prerequisites to enter Molten Core through its entrance in Blackrock Depths, in order to access the more commonly-used shortcut you must complete the quest Attunement to the Core. This quest is given at level 55 by Lothos Riftwaker who is located near an orb on the way to Blackrock Depths. Once attuned this orb also acts as an additional entrance to Molten Core.

History:
The Molten Core was was created during the War of the Three Hammers, more than 300 years ago. Near the end of the war, Thaurissan, the leader of the Dark Iron Dwarves, sought to summon a powerful fire elemental to defeat the combined forces of the Bronzebeard and Wildhammer clans. He was more successful than he could have imagined, as he released Ragnaros the Fire Lord from millenia of captivity under the Redridge Mountains.

Ragnaros destroyed the city of Thaurissan (named after the Dwarven leader) and created the volcano of Blackrock Spire. He dwells there to this day with his elemental servants and the enslaved remnants of the Dark Iron dwarf clan. Though the firelord is incapable of straying far from the blazing Core, it is believed that his elemental minions command the Dark Iron dwarves, who are in the midst of creating armies out of living stone. The burning lake where Ragnaros lies sleeping acts as a rift connecting to the plane of fire, allowing the malicious elementals to pass through.

Ragnaros and Executus, with player character shown for scale.
