The Temple of Ahn'Qiraj stands at the heart of Ahn'Qiraj, the qiraji fortress city behind the Scarab Wall in the south of Silithus. It predates recorded history and serves the qiraji as both a shrine to their gods and a breeding ground for their army, and below it lie the hives and the vault of C'Thun. A prophecy by the Prophet Skeram says that C'Thun, an Old God, lay dormant under this land after a battle with a titan and later made the qiraji from the silithid in his own image. The qiraji built the city to house their armies and prepare for his coming.

The Twin Emperors, Vek'lor and Vek'nilash, planned the trap at Southwind Village that cost Fandral Staghelm his son, and when the war ended, the barrier raised by Anachronos and the night elves sealed them inside this temple. It also trapped Arygos of the blue flight, Merithra of the green and Caelestrasz of the red, who had held off the qiraji while it closed, and C'Thun has drained their magic to strengthen his creations. C'Thun has now woken and is regaining his strength. With the Scepter of the Shifting Sands made whole and the seal broken, the way into the temple is open.

C'Thun waits in his vault beneath the temple, and once he recovers his full power, no force will be able to halt him. The Twin Emperors rule the qiraji from their hall. Their servants hold the way: the Prophet Skeram at the temple gates, then Battleguard Sartura, Fankriss the Unyielding, Princess Huhuran, the Silithid Royalty, Viscidus and the sandworm Ouro in the hives below. Beneath the temple, legions of qiraji prepare to invade Kalimdor again and renew the War of the Shifting Sands.

The Brood of Nozdormu, the bronze dragonflight led by Anachronos at the Caverns of Time, calls on champions to enter the hives and finish the work the dragons began. Past Skeram, three dragons in mortal guise wait: Kandrostrasz of the red flight, Andorgos of the blue and Vethsera of the green. They sense their enslaved kin deeper inside but fear that C'Thun's spell would enslave them too, so they trade armor for qiraji insignia and relics with those who have earned the bronze flight's trust. After C'Thun falls, his eye goes to the freed Caelestrasz and then to Anachronos.

C'Thun's voice reaches intruders throughout both the Ruins and the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj as whispers that promise death and tell them their courage will fail and their friends will abandon them. In the Twin Emperors' hall, a great floating eye turns its gaze on those who enter, and they are told they stand before a god.
