The Temple City of En'kilah is a Scourge fortress in the northeastern corner of the Borean Tundra, southeast of the crashed necropolis of Talramas. According to Private Brau, En'kilah is a "plagued Nerubian city".[2] while Muradin Bronzebeard mentioned that the city was built by the Scourge. It is a place of decay and darkness behind stone walls that could have used a steadier hand at the level.[1] Floating above the temple city is another Scourge necropolis, Naxxanar, which served as the command center of the Scourge in the Borean Tundra.
History
During the war against the Lich King, various undead high priests performed dark rites in the spires named Blood, Decay, and Pain located within the temple city.[1]
Following the war against the Jailer, the brothers Bronzebeard reported that the temple is still crawling with Scourge, but at least they don’t have a unified purpose to drive them out into the tundra. The necropolis Naxxanar still floats over En’kilah, but there doesn’t seem to be much going on there anymore.[1] They also reported that Taunka'le Village, a ruined taunka village near the temple, is overrun with leaderless Scourge from En'kilah.[3]

Digsite
The grounds of En'kilah Digsite are a nerubian archaeology dig site.
According to Brann Bronzebeard, there's a lot of good Scourge nerubian artifacts here, only if someone is quick with their shovel and quiet enough to sneak around the ghouls.[1]
Notes
- According to Muradin Bronzebeard, the temple's architecture got similarities to buildings of the Old Nerubian Empire, while the differences may be put down to undead brain rot.[1]
