At the opening of Ahn’QirajThe Wall Opens
While the scepter was being restored, Alliance and Horde gathered supplies for the campaign. Opening Ahn’Qiraj without an army ready outside it risked releasing the very threat the wall had contained.
With preparations complete, the bearer struck the Scarab Gong. The barrier opened and the waiting forces met the qiraji. Anachronos’s long-preserved key had become the signal for a new war.
The campaign could now advance into the ruins and toward the deeper temple. The old wall had contained the enemy; the new assault sought to reach C’Thun at the center of its power.

Beneath the Qiraji Throne
The outer ruins of Ahn’Qiraj held an army, but the deeper temple held the source of its purpose. Adventurers fought past the qiraji rulers and reached C’Thun, an enemy whose presence changed the scale of the war.
The Old God was defeated. The captive dragons who had remained inside since the ancient sealing could finally be freed from his grasp. Their survival connected the new victory directly to the sacrifice that had made the first one possible.
An eye taken from the fallen enemy was carried back to Anachronos. The campaign had reached beyond reopening a fortress: it had ended the immediate threat from the power that had driven its armies.
