Well ... at least the speculation has begun!
From the WOW Terenas forums, Fabled of Ascensum reports:
I got some info about the quest to open Ahn'Quiraj. The artifact item we need to reform is called the "Scepter of the Shifting Sands". Once this item is reformed, 1 person will carry this artifact to the gong at the entrance to Ahn'Quiraj and open the dungeon for the server. This will trigger a world event centered in Silithus. Reforming the scepter will require the participation and effort of a lot of people and not soemthing a single person or guild can do on it's own. The world event will be Epic in scope (for real). This will only happen once per server.
From Blizzcon Panel discussion:
"Alex gave us a little bit of background on the Ahn'Quiraj War that is comming up in 1.9. There is a lot of important story, which will require the involvement of the entire server. Both the alliance and horde have certain objectives to meet, and there is a lot of stuff to do to open up the dungeon. The uber-guilds of the server must form a scepter, but a lot of support is needed from everyone else to make it happen. Once the sceptre is complete, the horde and alliance will have to form up at the gong, and a massive war will be unleashed when the door in the Scarab Wall is unsealed."
