GETTING INSIDE
To get into the crypts you will need to find a Black Summoning Stone from the Black Temple. The stones will drop, at a very low rate, from Dragonmaw Sky Stalkers, Bonechewer Taskmasters and the Bonechewer Workers. Once you find a Black Summing Stone bring it to The Black Guard who is also inside the Black Temple. The guard is located in the Illidari Training Grounds, see map below.
