Auchenai Crypts Guide

30-second TL;DR

Adventure Guide says

• 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.
• The Adventure Guide lists 2 encounters: Shirrak the Dead Watcher, Exarch Maladaar.

Adventure Guide says

1Shirrak the Dead Watcher

Shirrak was constructed by Exarch Maladaar to guard over the fallen draenei spirits who wander the Auchenai Crypts. A necrotic mass of eyes, teeth, and tentacles, this undead construct absorbs arcane energy with hungry abandon, and will not suffer the living to pass.

2Exarch Maladaar

The sole living remnant of the glory that once strode the halls of Auchenai, Maladaar has been driven mad by the loss of everyone and everything he ever loved. His lunatic dedication to the preservation of their memory has driven him to a mastery of the dark arts.
