Project Lore

Sethekk Halls is one section of the Auchindoun, which was formerly a Draenei holy place where the dead were laid to rest. It was, however taken over by the Shadow Council, who summoned an extremely powerful and evil creature. This resulted in a gigantic explosion, causing the Auchindoun to be destroyed and creating the bone wastes around it. The dead who were buried now wander the area as restless spirits. A rift in the Nether was also torn open, bringing the Ethereals into Outland.

The Sethekk Halls themselves are populated by the Sethekk, a faction of arakkoa who think they are the true followers of the mysterious master of all arakkoa. The Sethekk abandoned the traditional god of the arakkoa, Rukhmar, to follow the new leader who promises unimaginable power. The Sethekk believe that the immense explosion at Auchindoun signified the arrival of their master on this planet. Led by Talon King Ikiss and Darkweaver Syth, they left Skettis to take over the ruins and find their master within them.
