This is the scepter used to open the gates of Ahn'Qiraj, the "tier 2.5" 40-man raid dungeon from the original 1-60 World of Warcraft.

1) What Tomorrow Brings
NPC in Cenarion Hold says "Hey guys I hear there's a dragon who despawns at 20% and says something about it not being his time in Tanaris." You go see Anachronos at the Caverns of Time -- return to CH, tell the NPC.
(Everyone can do this.)
2) Only One May Rise
The Cenarion NPC is excited to hear of the return of the Bronze Dragonflight. Maybe ancient bonds can be reforged and they can again work together against their common enemy. He asks you to prove yourself by killing Broodlord Lashlayer. Bring an army, but because only one may rise, only one can loot the head.
(We did this on 1/3/06 -- I looted the head.)
3) The Path of the Righteous
The Cenarion NPC is impressed that we killed Broodlord. But in order to earn the trust of the Bronze Dragonflight, we must work tirelessly to purge their ancient enemies from Silithus. He sends me to Hive'Ashi, Hive'Zora, and Hive'Regal to kill silithids and return with 200 carapace fragments (quest drops, tradeable).
(I did this -- it took maybe 20-30 minutes of grinding with 8 people in Hive'Ashi. The elites drop 1-3 fragments, or up to 4 in Hive'Regal. Nonelites drop 0 or 1.)
4) The Hand of the Righteous
The reward for Step #3 is a one-use badge that lets me make someone else an Agent of Nozdormu. That gives them a soulbound item like an Argent Dawn Commission that allows them to collect fragments from killing Silithids as well. Deputized people don't have any quest themselves, but they can farm carapaces and give them to me. Every 200 carapaces I turn in lets me name another deputy.
This is a repeatable quest. Every turnin of 200 gives me 200 rep with the Brood of Nozdormu. I start, as we all do, at 0/36000 Hated. Over the course of roughly 60 hours, a small army was mobilized. At the end of the first night, I had 5500 of the needed 42000 reputation. My guild turned out in full force throughout the day on Wednesday to help me farm, and most were deputized in the process. By Wednesday afternoon/evening, I had enough carapaces to begin deputizing outside EJ. Generous people from Nocturn, Quarantine, VXIX, Aftermath, GS, and other guilds offered their time to assist in the effort. The farming continued throughout the day on Thursday, and Aeternus generously gave us their gathered carapaces. The end was near by Thursday afternoon, we cancelled our raid plans, and settled in for the final grind. Just before midnight on Thursday night, I reached Neutral with the Brood of Nozdormu.
5) Anachronos
I was sent to talk to Anachronos, at the Caverns of Time. When I got there, first off, he offered me one of three epic signet rings. Note that all players will automatically get these once they hit Neutral with Nozdormu by doing AQ, which will happen quickly. Next, he told me that since perhaps I was truly ready and able to aid them, I would need to learn the history of what I was about to get myself into. He sent me back to Silithus, to gaze into a fragment of a time crystal left in the sands by the wall. When I clicked it, dozens of spectral night-elves, anubisath, qiraji, and silithids phased in around me. I stepped back. We watched a battle unfold between them, with the dragons Caelastrasz, Merithra, and Arygos (red, green, blue) flying in to lend air support as the silithids were overcome. I then watched a conversation between Anachronos and the night-elf Fandral play out, the walls sealed, and the scepter shattered.
These events are depicted and described at great length here:

(Continued)
When I returned to Anachronos, he told me that the scepter had been shattered into four, and that four dragons held them. He has one of them. Azuregos, Eranikus, and Vaelastrasz held the other three, and I was to seek them out.
6) The Charge of the Dragonflights (three parallel paths, each which must be completed)
6a) The Blue Flight
I sought out Azuregos, who had, fortunately, happened to spawn right as I was shuttling between Tanaris and Silithus. I begged the assembled forces to wait until I got there to kill him, and they graciously did, and summoned me. (Thanks again, Nerd/Perdition's.) After an unfortunate misclick, I spoke to Azuregos and learned that he had entrusted his shard to a magical minnow. Yes, a fish. He told me of an arcanite buoy that would lure the fish, and gave me instructions on making one.
One problem: They're in draconic. He mentioned that Narain Soothfancy in Tanaris might be able to help me. So off I went.
He explained to me that I needed to fetch for him three things: his book of draconic language, his lost pair of scrying goggles, and a 500-pound chicken. Three parallel quests.
THE GOGGLES -- Last entrusted to a former friend of his who may be in Silverpine near the Greymane wall. I found him, and just like our good friend Finkle, it seems he was casually strolling through Molten Core and lost them. Thanks, guy. I recently recovered them from an Ancient Core Hound.
THE CHICKEN -- series of miniquests to farm chimeraoks on the Isle of Dread for their meat, kill Lord Lakmaeran for his carcass, bring them all to Dirge Quickcleave in Gadgetzan, season them with deeprock salt and goblin rocket fuel, and then return the horrible product to Narain.
THE BOOK -- This is the big one. He said he buried it on an island south of Tanaris. It's on an island beyond fatigue waters, way off the map. Except that when I got there, I just found a ransom note with instructions on where to bring the money in exchange for his book. Ok, so Narain gives me a bag of rocks (fake gold) and a sweet Narain disguise, and a map to the dropoff point, which was at the SE edge of Winterspring at the cliffs looking down upon Azshara. This step was (Elite) so I brought four friends. I go there, wear the disguise, drop the bag, and Dr. Weavil comes puttering in on his flying machine. He lands, comes out, says he sees right through my disguise (hmm, maybe it was the Sulfuras I was holding), and then gets back into his machine, tells "Number Two" to take care of me, and flies off. A huge yeti-gorilla creature comes out. Kind of like a 5-man instance boss, nothing too bad. He dies. We go back to Narain, who tells me that Dr. Weavil lives on Alcaz Island (NE of Dustwallow). So off we go. We bring a small army to the evil doctor's hideout, and beat him to death. I recover from his corpse one chapter of the book, and a diary chronicling his emo rage as he ripped the book into eight pieces and threw seven of them all over the world. One in Tainted Scar, one in Darkwhisper Gorge, one in Onyxia's chimney, one in Molten Core, one in BWL, one in Undercity, and one in Stormwind (!).
After gathering the chapters and assembling the completed manual, I learned of the various precious materials required to craft the buoy. I presented them, and received the buoy.
We took the buoy to a maelstrom in the Bay of Storms in Azshara, and used it, and up swam Maws, a shark of gigantic proportions. Not too tough, but with 1mil hp, frenzies like Magmadar, and an AoE, so it took a little while. From its corpse I retrieved the Blue Scepter Shard. One down, two to go!

6b) The Green Flight
This was cool. I went to see the sleeping shade of Eranikus in ST. As soon as I entered the room, Malfurion Stormrage phased in between me and the dragon. He told me that Eranikus has been corrupted by the Old Gods and that I needed to cleanse him in order to recover the scepter shard. He sends me to speak with an agent of his outside of Darnassus(!). I did that. The agent sent me to Keeper Remulos in Moonglade. Remulos told me of Eranikus's corruption, and how he wants nothing more than revenge upon Malfurion and upon the Moonglade. He might be lured into a trap, but it would require the recovery of four shards of the corrupted dream, from each of the four dragon portals around the world. Three of them are held by the dragonkin near the portals (raredrops from the dragonkin; they do not drop from the green dragons themselves). The fourth is in Duskwood, which has no trash, but where a demonic Twilight Corruptor awaited me, phasing in as I approached the moonwell there. He was tough (40-man raid mob), but we took him out. The drop rate on the other fragments is awful -- it took 3.5 hours of nonstop farming in Feralas to get that one, and 1.5+ at Hinterlands. Ashenvale has so few dragonkin that it also proved problematic with the new lengthened respawns, but at last we had all four shards.
I brought them back to Keeper Remulos in the Moonglade, and he used them to lay a trap for Eranikus. Eranikus has been in the corrupted Emerald Dream, twisted by the will of the Old Gods, brooding and yearning for revenge against Malfurion and the Cenarion Circle. The fragments were used to open a portal into the heart of the Dream, and Eranikus emerged over the Moonglade lake. With hundreds of people gathered to defend Moonglade (and to watch), an epic battle was waged against dozens of Nightmare Phantasms that emerged from the portal, as Eranikus hovered menacingly in the skies. Aeternus, Aftermath, Advent, LoH, Exordium, and countless others, all turned out to assist us, and I thank them. As the phantasms were defeated, Eranikus landed to do the job himself. He was controlled, and we began to wear him down. As the fight went on, Tyrande arrived from Darnassus (the point of my trip to Darnassus had been to covertly notify her) with a half-dozen Priestesses of the Moon riding white tigers. They healed the army as we continued to rain blows on Eranikus, and Tyrande and Remulos fought against him side-by-side. As he weakened further, Tyrande channelled the powers of Elune in a prayer to redeem the cursed dragon. He thrashed and resisted, but ultimately the light of Elune overcame him. He suddenly ceased fighting. The dragon vanished, and in its place lay a crumpled night-elf on the ground. He stood up and haltingly apologized for all the harm he had wrought, and left to attempt to begin to make amends for his actions. Before leaving, however, he entrusted me with the green scepter shard that Anachronos had given him long ago. I returned it to Anachronos.
Anachronos now holds the blue and green shards, in addition to the bronze one he has kept. Only one remains:
6c) The Red Flight
Vaelastrasz was entrusted with the red shard. Unfortunately, he ran into a bit of trouble. He lay injured and defeated inside Blackwing Lair, having been overpowered and injured by Nefarian. Talking to him, before the fight, he told me that Nefarian had taken the shard, and was seeking to corrupt its power and destroy it. If I wanted it, I was going to have to reach Nefarian and get it back... before it was destroyed.

For those of you wishing to still open the gates on a newer server, I wrote this short guide. The player level is assumed to be 70, raid experience of half the people in most raids I formed was non-existant. I did the quest line between patch 2.0 and 2.1. This covers the meat of the quests, there are a bunch of 5-10 man quests parallel with these.
If you intend to do this and set everything up yourself these are absolutely neccesary to obtain: UBRS Key, 10+ keyed for Onyxia, MC attunement, BWL attunement, Honored with Hydraxian Waterlords, 8-10 people you can really depend on that will help you out in most of the quests.
Retrieving the Head of Broodlord, half of the BWL group I put together had very little experience with the bosses. We had about 20 for Razorgore, although I've heard you can do it with 9 competant people. For Vael we had 25 with 3 tank rotations as our dps wasn't upto par. The 2 trash pulls afterwards is easy, have 2 druid sleep and tanks can easily grab 2 if they need to. We killed Broodlord with 15, everyone stayed behind the MT on threat, kept the MT alive and it went well. Note: The head apparently drops for everyone that has the quest after 2.1.
Farming reputation with BoN took nearly 12 days of consistent farming with 2-4 in Silithus. You received 500 rep each turnin of 200 carapace fragments. You will need to gain 42,000, or 84 turnins, or 16,800 carapaces. Hive Regal bugs drop an additional carapace (perhaps they are tougher to kill?), they drop 2-3 on average, so you're looking at killing about 7,000 of these.
You then reach the point of doing the 3 Scepter Shard quest lines. For the green line, it took about 5+ of us to effectively farm dragonkin at the 3 dream portals. The Twilight Corrupter at Duskwood was easy to kill with 20, I would assume you could use 10 or even less.
For Eranikus the Tyrant of the Dream in Moonglade I gathered about 25 people. I would suggest you get the same, took us a minute or 2 to kill shades, had a tank pick up Eranikus when he landed - eventually Romulos started tanking and you need to move your heals to him.
Red Scepter Shard, perhaps the hardest part with a pug. You're going to need to farm at least 4 Onyxia Cloaks to clear through BWL. I gathered 35-40 for a full run, a fair number were good players from top guilds, although I still had to fill out the rest of the 10-15 spots with pugs. I had someone prematurely talk to Vael before I started the Red Scepter quest, however, if you are quick enough you can still talk to Vael while he's doing his dialog and accept the quest. We equipped 2 tanks, a druid and a priest with our 4 cloaks. Firemaw is tricky, my OT and I pretty much relied on Paladin FR auras, fire debuffs were stacking around 50. If you have 2 other warriors or druids that are out of los and don't mind taking a shadowflame for the team, have them pick it up if your tanks go down. Ebonroc was a bit tricky with 2 tanks as we had to time taunts around Shadow of Ebonroc and Wing Buffet, if your dps takes it slow and doesn't pull aggro it's easy. Same goes for Flamegor, we got away with 1 hunter on Frenzy.

(Continued)
Chrommaggus we were lucky and didn't get Time Lapse, we tanked him where Ebonroc is usually faced in the cubby, although we faced him towards the stairs. Had MT healers at the stairs, and dps and other healers/cleansers behind the wall just behind him. Have everyone move out for breaths and HoTs will keep your MT up fairly well. Nefarian we improvised a strat, split the raid into 2 groups as usual, Drakanoids will go down fairly quickly. Around 30 drakanoids down we collapased behind his throne, had the MT, OT, priest and druid with cloaks get ready to pick up Nef. Have paladins and mages ice block in case they get hit by shadowflame, however if you stand behind the throne you will not get hit by it (yes, confirmed to still work as of 2.1). Nearly everyone should be alive for Phase 2 and 3. It's the same strat for Nefarian from here on out. We dropped him with about 20 minutes to spare. Obviously this is a pug and messing up on Vael, the Drakes and Nef can easily kill even level 70's.
Blue Scepter Shard, another pain because of the fact that you need to clear past Firemaw, farm 10 elementium ore, and kill Ragnaros. I would suggest you start clearing MC for reputation with the Hydraxian Waterlords as soon as you can. You only need Honored for Aqual Quitessence, and it's preferrable over Eternal if you only have 1 person with it. This is because Eternal has a 1 hour cooldown, we used 2 summoning groups at Azshara and outside MC to bounce myself back and forth after we cleared the bosses to douse the flames. Domo is straight forward, bring at least 3 mages. We dropped Ragnaros with 20 people just before sons, I don't know if Blizzard changed how the Draconic drops, however I would suggest you place it on Free for All loot with Ragnaros to insure you can loot the draconic. As you clear MC you should find Narain's Scrying Goggles (I would suggest putting it on FFA loot until you receive these). Dr. Weavil is a pain if you don't have 3 tanks, we initially tried it with 12 people and he would always MC the MT or OT. I would suggest for the cleanest kill just gather 20 people and a 3rd tank. You should pickup Onyxia's Draconic while farming scales. From here you need to kill Maws, which I have yet to do, but it should only take 20.
Notes on setting instanced raids up: You will probably need to find pugs for MC and BWL. I would suggest you get at least 8 or so core people you can really depend on that will show up and know exactly what they're doing. You will get people each and everytime that will not be attuned to either. MC attunement is quite easy, I would have one of the guys you know form a seperate party (attunement can no longer be done in a raid), make sure he has the key to the door and run everyone to the core. You can lava hop there and no aggro anything. BWL groups take more time, an hour before a scheduled run I would setup an attunement run in UBRS (you yourself should really get the UBRS key). Clear through Drakk and keep the instance open, and start inviting. Those that aren't attuned can grab the note quest outside, and easily run into the cleared UBRS and complete it.

Blackwing Technicians will not drop Elementium Ore after they've been killed a first time, we confirmed this over a 2 hour period of multiple pack resets. With a soft reset the goblins don't appear when you come back in until you reset the partial pack again. This appears to confirm that the instance does save the goblins separately and will only drop loot for the first clear. I would suggest you put several runs together before you're on the quest to obtain these beforehand. You can clear the packs in Firemaw's room with at the very minimum 8 people. On average I received 2-3 ores per instance (per week).
Maws was incredibly easy with 14, I imagine you could do it with 5, although it would take quite awhile, nothing to worry about really, maybe keep hunter on frenzy.
As far as the AQ Event is concerned, you can ring the gong once the war effort is complete and 5 days have past from when it has finished, there is no delay on using the Scepter if the war effort has been completed for more than 5 days. You receive the bug mount when you complete Bang a Gong!, which will also open the gates at the same time. This will put a server message stating the invasion has begun, to spur those not there to help.
There will be 3 Hive Lords that you can kill for 2 boe epics and blues. They can punt your entire raid halfway across Silithus, an easy way to kill them is to kite them just inside a tunnel. There are also two minibosses that spawn in Silthus, Pax-lish will drop a blue and is extremely easy to kill. Nokhor, who drops a boe epic, will take at least 4 people. Although you can kite them to CH we had loot issues when the NPCs killed them. Pax-lish will also spawn in Tanaris, they appear to spawn in place of the generals. Nokhor will spawn where the Supreme Anubisaths are, Pax-lish where Greater Anubisaths are. They're on a 15 minute respawn timer, although we saw Nokhor spawn much sooner a few times.
The event will last exactly 10 hours. 9 hours from ringing the gong a server message will go out that the armies are preparing to attack the Silithid. At 9:15 hours they will begin moving south. Around 9:30 hours the battle will begin between the NPCs and Colossal Anubisath Warbringers that will continue to spawn. After 10 hours an NPC will spawn near the gong and you can receive your final epic weapon.
A note if you're going to ring the gong: I would suggest you inform everyone on your server a day or two ahead of time, and try to land it on a day when most can see it. Everyone enjoys it and it really is a lot of fun for everyone across the southern zones on Kalimdor.

It is very possible to obtain the Scepter of the Shifting Sands on an older server, and take it to a server where the gates are still closed. At least 4 people did so on december 14th on the Maiev server.

What is the current state of the AQ Gates?
The official Blizzard pages seem to be not up to date. Are there any EU servers left with open AQ gate?

When lich king comes out and they release more servers, will those servers already be released with the gates opened? Or will the gates be closed when the server opens?

at any rate,, once your server has enough supplies, this scepter will be used to hit the "gong" and the seal to the wall will be lifted.
the gate will open, and silithid will pour out.
should be a nice free for all battle.

He suddenly ceased fighting. The dragon vanished, and in its place lay a crumpled night-elf on the ground. He stood up and haltingly apologized for all the harm he had wrought, and left to attempt to begin to make amends for his actions. Before leaving, however, he entrusted me with the green scepter shard that Anachronos had given him long ago. I returned it to Anachronos.
Anachronos now holds the blue and green shards, in addition to the bronze one he has kept. Only one remains:
6c) The Red Flight
Vaelastrasz was entrusted with the red shard. Unfortunately, he ran into a bit of trouble. He lay injured and defeated inside Blackwing Lair, having been overpowered and injured by Nefarian. Talking to him, before the fight, he told me that Nefarian had taken the shard, and was seeking to corrupt its power and destroy it. If I wanted it, I was going to have to reach Nefarian and get it back... before it was destroyed.
So, a race to clear BWL. We frantically tore through the zone to reach Nefarian, as he taunted us and proclaimed his victory along the way. We got there in ample time. We killed Nefarian, and we took the shard back from his corpse.
I hurried to Anachronos in Tanaris, and brought him the shard.
He heralded me as the true champion and savior of Kalimdor, and handed me the reconstructed Scepter of the Shifting Sands, to be used when the Horde and the Alliance were ready to wage war against the forces of C'Thun

a real page turner. seriously though its very informative, rather depressing though considering how long it will take to complete this series, even comfortably being in a BWL guild lol. But why were people saying that you have to have opened the gates of AQ in order to complete this series?

Amazing storytelling, really. Nazgrel has collected the supplies to open AQ, but support for actually completing this is lacking. I am trying to get some help in doing from the major guilds, RoF, Vindictive, UNDEFEATED, etc. Send mail or tell to Rivanth if anyone on this server wants to help open the gates.
P.S. To the author, I printed that post as reference, truly great stuff. Also, please transfer your main to my server to help, thank you.

Gosh. First. This scepter was/is used to open the gates to Ahn'Qiraj , the newest badass instance. After the special someone returns the quest he gets a "Legendary" Mount, which is exactly same as Epic but WAY cooler model. (a bug)

:o
We are also pretty close to getting it, but wondering if the 102100321021 abyssal scepters we saved up for is part of this quest.
PPS. Before someone else says it. "hunter weapon"
or
"shaman helm"

were does the quest for the sceptar start?

OK...If your server has AQ opened already, you are out of luck on this or the legendary map, the quest started from looting the Head of Broodlord lashlayer, and had a long winded chain requiring 2 mc clears a bwl clear and a few other things, this sceptre is needed to open AQ and for those of you looking for this, too bad
