Hall of the Keepers
The Hall of the Keepers refers to two different areas in Uldaman and Uldaman: Legacy of Tyr.
Uldaman
The Hall of the Keepers is the name of the first hall of the dungeon, on the other side of the instance portal from Dig One. Like many other parts of the dungeon, it is crawling with Stonevault troggs. The hall leads south to Dig Two, and west to the Map Chamber. It is also the location of Uldaman's first boss, Revelosh, as well as the Remains of a Paladin. Since the Cataclysm, the Hall hosts quest givers from the Explorers' League (for Alliance players) and the Reliquary (for Horde players).
Legacy of Tyr
In the Legacy of Tyr, the area that is named "Hall of the Keepers" in normal Uldaman is physically present but unnamed; the player's location in that area is instead displayed as simply "Uldaman". Players enter the area, which is still filled with Stonevault troggs, from the Dig, with halls leading to Dig Two and the Map Chamber as in normal Uldaman. However, two of the side tunnels have collapsed or been sealed off with barricades, making the path more linear.
In the Legacy of Tyr, the name "Hall of the Keepers" is instead reserved for the expansive southwestern wing of the instance, of which the Chamber of Khaz'mul is the first part. The Lost Dwarves open the Chamber for players after Bromach's defeat. A hole in the southern wall of the Chamber allows access to a series of corridors guarded by refti and earthen and leading south and west to a library protected by Sentinel Talondras. The Hall of the Keepers then continues north through more hallways protected by earthen and stone golems, followed by an earthy tunnel with a ruined Explorer's League camp and infested with bats and tarantulas, and finally a room with a closed door that opens up into a large circular vault guarded by Emberon. The Hall of the Keepers then comes to an end and the path continues northeast into the Earthworks.
The hall right before Sentinel Talondras' room directly lines up with, but does not intersect, the Obsidian Sentinel's "backdoor" platform in Echomok Cavern. The exit into the Earthworks is the Stone Vault in full, but with the hallway not bending. Emberon's room may have been the large structure exposed in Dig Three near Galgann Firehammer, but it does not line up exactly.
