Around Azeroth: The evil that men do

Looks like this Iron Maiden and its heavy metal has had more than a couple of hits. Ho ho ho! You see, torture is considered funny when you make puns about it. Maybe we should add that to the CIA's interrogation manual. Anyway, Kellhus of Auchindoun noticed this torture chamber -- and its unfortunate victims -- while visiting Akama in the Warden's Cage. He notes that scenes like this "bring an edgier flavor to the environment that is not common in WoW, but seems to pop up and create a different atmosphere." It sort of reminds me of the Upside-Down Sinners room, which is still by far the creepiest place in the game. The tears of blood from the eyes of the Maidens here are a nice touch, though.
Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. We prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. And please, no sunsets or WotLK pictures that tantalize us with their beautiful forbiddeness. Forbiddenness? Forboding? There is no word!

If I can remember correctly...wasn't that from the exploited area of Kara? I never got to see that location...are players still capable of making it to this room?

I've never seen that room, but their is something really wrong with it. Its not just a torture room, but some sort of evil is there, the gravity is split in that room.
Check out the two on the right . . . I'm not saving any of them. Now fighting a boss that can turn 1/2 your raid party upside down would freak out the raid group for sure!
Random party loss of gravity = ftl4sure
. . . but would be oh so cool to play!

i mean its not as if Kael does that or anything

It's not gravity, it's underwater.
And Kael'thas already does the gravity thing.

Well I'm just a casual raider. I've only gotten into TK/SSC on my hunter, so I didn't know.
Does your screen turn upside down? I will have to find a vid of that today . . .

To be honest, before I even started the article, just the title brought the song to my head. WoWInsider wins today.

The Upside-down sinners room is an obvious reference to John Carpenter's "Big Trouble in Little China", one of the many Hells lurking below the streets of Chinatown.
The Six Demon Bag is also another reference to the film, with it's flavor text being a direct quote from the film.
