Dungeon - The Burning Crusade
Auchenai Crypts
2 encounters and 26 drops. Every drop links to its item page; tradeable drops carry a live Auction House price.
The original exiles on Draenor found death to be an unsettling and unfortunate consequence of life, and so the draenei hid their dead away in the subterranean grave-city of Auchindoun, a labyrinthine marvel located beneath the forests of Terokkar.
