||
| − | '''Ahn'kahet: The Old Kingdom''' (also referred to simply as '''Ahn'kahet''' or '''The Old Kingdom''') is an instance located in the [[Dragonblight]] on the icy continent of [[Northrend]]. The huge underground city serves as home to remnants of the once magnificent [[Azjol-Nerub|Nerubian Empire]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | Ahn'kahet is one of the sections of [[Azjol-Nerub]], the others being the [[Inner Kingdom]] and the [[Upper Kingdom]]. The city is controlled by [[Scourge|Undead]] [[nerubian]]s and [[Yogg-Saron|Yogg-Saron's]] [[faceless one]]s, with a presence of the [[Twilight's Hammer clan]]. |
||
| − | |||
| − | On heroic, it awards approximately 2300 reputation. |
||

| − | == History == |
||
| − | {{WC3-section}} |
||
| − | The Old Kingdom was represented in ''Warcraft III:The Frozen Throne'' by the Old Kingdom Door, which had at least part of the [[Inner Kingdom]] and the whole of the [[Upper Kingdom]] behind it. Anub'arak confirms that the Old Kingdom begins behind the gate, but where the Old Kingdom ends is up for debate. The quest to kill the [[Forgotten One]] implies that the Old Kingdom right after it, but the quest to escape Azjol-Nerub in the following mission implies that the collapsing section of Azjol-Nerub that the mission is set in is still the Old Kingdom. |
||
| − | |||
| − | {{RPG-section}} |
||
| − | Azjol-Nerub can be divided into two sections: the Old Kingdom and the Upper Kingdom. |
||
| − | |||
| − | The area known as the Old Kingdom is deep below the surface and is the original location of Azjol-Nerub. The nerubians preferred to stay well below surface level. This area has not been well maintained because the Scourge never descended this far. By the same token, that means they have not looted as much here, and it is also easier to avoid them by staying to these lower levels. Most of the nerubian rebels live down here.<ref name="Lands of Mystery 90">''[[Lands of Mystery]]'', pg. 90</ref> ''Though with the recent Scourge incursion (all nerubians seen here in WotLK are undead), it is unknown if they still survive.'' |

If two are pulled at once, they can occasionally both decide to fire Shadow Blast at the same time, which can one-shot even some tanks. As casters, they generally cannot be pulled except by silences and Death Grip. As long as they are alive, the healer's job becomes much more difficult. If they die first, everything proceeds smoothly. |
