The opening of the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj was a World Event. While in-game a player attains the rank of Scarab Lord when opening the wall, it is known that Shiromar was the one who rang the gong in lore. This potentially means that she is the Scarab Lord when it comes to the storyline. See: * Ahn'Qiraj for information on the area and lore. * Gates of Ahn'Qiraj and The Scepter of the Shifting Sands quest chain for details on the massive quest to open those gates.
