Found at the southern most portion of the Borean Tundra, the Riplash Ruins are ruins from the ancient Nerubian empire.

The old ruin stands at the tundra’s south end — the southern tip of Northrend. From its architecture it appears to be nerubian except that it’s mostly above ground. There may have been an earthquake long ago, possibly the result of magma beneath, which uplifted this section of Azjol-Nerub up to the surface. Regardless, nerubians aren’t there now, and a pack of naga moved in some time ago. They’re nasty and attack anyone who gets within range.^{LoM 93} From here the Naga seek to flood the region by melting the icecaps.

In Wrath of the Lich King the ruins have now been described as a ancient night elf city and not a section of Azjol-Nerub.
