Call of the Scarab

Call of the Scarab is a micro-holiday event added in patch 7.1.5 that takes place in Silithus. There are no breadcrumb quests leading to the event, so get to Silithus.
This micro-holiday scales to all levels, though Silithus itself is a zone.
==Event==
On January 23, 2006, the Scarab Gong was rung for the first time worldwide on Medivh US, opening the gates of Ahn'Qiraj. Represent your faction by gathering supplies or by slaying Twilight and Qiraji forces. The winning faction gets to fly their banner next to the Scarab Gong for the rest of the year!
Additionally, a callback to the World PvP event The Silithyst Must Flow (originally added in patch 1.12) plays out in the world quest Silithyst (quest).
===Official presentation===
:1/21- The Call of the Scarab Micro-Holiday is now live. Players who have completed Antorus, the Burning Throne and who are in a different phase can speak to Rhonormu near the gong to enter the correct event phase.
:On January 23, 2006, a bloody war was triggered by a simple sound: the banging of a gong. No rallying fanfare, no bloodthirsty yell; just an eerie silence. Those long, uneasy seconds of dread. The calm before the storm.
:Standing shoulder-to-shoulder before the Scarab Wall, no one could have predicted what would happen—an epic ten-hour battle that claimed the lives of thousands of Azeroth's bravest—or fully comprehended the effect it would have.
;Action First, Faction Second
:That's not to say the battle at the gates of Ahn'Qiraj came as a surprise. When the menace of C'Thun turned into an urgent threat, leaders across the world pored over plans and forged unlikely connections as pressure mounted. Both factions knew war was coming and personal glory was a hubris no-one could risk. Any notion that one army could defeat General Rajaxx and his colossal battalion was soon abandoned as fantasy.
:It was a unique time: scattered armies with varying allegiances were thrown together and faction pride was put aside. Let's be clear: the battle at Ahn'Qiraj was won purely on the principle "united we stand, divided we fall."
;Warmongering vs. Gold Hungering
:This uneasy alliance was not without its critics. Some showed their disapproval by shunning the war effort altogether, but others expressed opposition through acts of aggression. Rogue elements on both sides, unwilling to stomach this perceived betrayal of their faction, did not sit idle. Just as neutral auction houses became a tool for factions to share resources, they also became virtual battlegrounds. Crucial resources were picked up for next-to-nothing and sold on for personal gain. As with all wars, those who profit aren't always the brave.
:The sheer scale of that war effort is almost unimaginable when we live in a time of extended storage and fast mail. But back then, backpacks and cloth stacks were smaller. Getting precious resources gathered, sorted, and sent took many hours. And it took several weeks to source bandages, food, and equipment—resources that were in high demand and would soon dwindle.
;The Importance of Remembrance
:There are parallels with current events that are impossible to ignore: once more, we Azerothians stand united against the Burning Legion as they wreak havoc across the Broken Isles. We attempt to put aside a complex, bitter history in order to defeat a common enemy. We eye each other suspiciously, even as we fight side by side.
:We would do well, in these dark times, to remember the courage and spirit of those who were there at the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj. We must have long memories if we're to make quick work of the demon forces we now face.
:From January 21–23 we ask that you join us as we remember the fallen and celebrate the victory. All of Azeroth are invited to a special holiday, "Call of the Scarab," where we will gather to perform acts of remembrance and share our factions' pride.Remembering the Gates of Ahn'Qiraj: Call of the Scarab
