After opening the doors, the sight inside made Ye Ting unable to believe that this was actually Dalaran's treasury.
The main vault, with its little mountains of gold, silver, and jewels of every kind, was gone.
The magnificent treasury once entirely paved in marble was gone.
Even the successive doors and the other vaults behind them were all gone.
All they could see was a huge excavated hole.
