Here, within the Ahn'Qiraj's lifeless sandstone corridors, the qiraji had lain dormant for centuries. The qiraji themselves had taken over the ancient titanic fortress of Ahn'Qiraj, the vast prison complex of the Old God C'Thun.
Only the mantid on the hidden continent of Pandaria remained active above ground. The dangerous potential of these insectoid races had long since vanished from the memories of the majority of Azeroth's races. Since the events of their last war with the Troll Empire, the qiraji and their descendants had remained hidden and secluded in their underground lairs. The only way to open this wall would be through the use of the Scarab Gong, and Scepter of the Shifting Sands which, in a rage, Fandral shattered, scattering the pieces. Seeking to end the war once and for all, Fandral and his allies used their powers to create a massive and impenetrable wall around the fortress, the Scarab Wall. Now, the combined forces of dragons and night elves successfully pushed the qiraji back to and inside Ahn'Qiraj. The qiraji once more spread out through the desert and the neighboring regions, even reaching and assaulting the Caverns of Time, home of the Bronze Dragonflight, who joined the battle and enlisted the aid of the Red, Green, and Blue flights as well. Seizing on the lull in the fighting, the qiraji attacked with renewed ferocity.
This shattered the archdruid's will and drastically reduced morale among the night elves. Then, during a battle near the fortress, Fandral Staghelm's son, Valstann, was surrounded and cut to pieces right before his father's eyes. The conflict went back-and-forth numerous times, often with the night elves pushing the qiraji back to the walls of the fortress only for a counter-attack to push them back in turn.Īfter vicious fighting, the night elves began gaining the upper hand and eventually the qiraji had been pushed back deep into Silithus. In response, a large night elf force led by Archdruid Fandral Staghelm attacked the qiraji and attempted to push them back to Ahn'Qiraj. Having lain dormant in the ancient titanic fortress of Ahn'Qiraj for centuries, the insectoid qiraji, urged on by the Old God C'Thun, began pouring out of Ahn'Qiraj in vast numbers, and spreading across the surrounding desert of Silithus. The War of the Shifting Sands (also called the Qiraji War ) was a major conflict which took place in southern Kalimdor between an allied campaign of night elves and dragons and the immense armies of the qiraji and lesser silithid, around 975 years before the First War.
