Ahn'Qiraj is the city-kingdom of the Qiraji found in the southern part of Silithus. Until recently it was isolated from the outside by the sealed Scarab Wall. After the war with the Old Gods and the subsequent imprisonment of C'Thun beneath the sands of Silithus, Highkeeper Ra and his allies expanded the prison, ultimately resulting in the fortress of Ahn'Qiraj. It was later taken over by the Aqir that would become the Qiraji.
