After completing the Mana Tombs and adventuring a bit more in Terokkar Forest and Nagrand, you will be ready for the next instance in Auchindoun, The Auchenai Crypts.

The Auchenai Crypts are a wing of the the Auchindoun instance that is meant for players level 65-67. Many of the quests are available right outside the instance, however you must do a quest chain that will allow you to see the ghosts that are walking the area before gaining access to some of them.
