About:
Patch 1.9.0: The Gates of Ahn'Qiraj is a content patch for World of Warcraft that released on 3 January 2006. This major content patch introduced the Ahn'Qiraj raid complex and its unprecedented realm-wide launch event as well as giving paladins a talent and balance overhaul. Additional changes included a revamp of the Timbermaw Hold faction, quests and NPCs, Soul Shard bags for warlocks, unification of the Auction Houses for each faction (and the "neutral faction") on each realm, a rework to the raid lockout system, improvements to the guild UI, and reworks of some racial traits, among many others.
Story:
The great desert fortress of Ahn'Qiraj, long sealed behind the Scarab Wall, was home to the insectoid qiraji, a savage race that had once mounted an assault to devastate the continent of Kalimdor. But something far more sinister lurked behind Ahn'Qiraj's walls: the Old God C'Thun, an ancient entity whose pervasive evil had suffused Azeroth since time immemorial. As C'Thun incited the qiraji to frenzy, both the Alliance and Horde prepared for a massive war effort. A mixed force of Alliance and Horde soldiers, dubbed the Might of Kalimdor, opened the gates of Ahn'Qiraj under the command of the indomitable orc Varok Saurfang. Their charge: lay siege to the ruins and temples of Ahn'Qiraj, and vanquish the terrors of ages past.
