Getting to Nazjatar
Hello everyone! Last patch we saw the heroes of the world have a close encounter with the old god N’Zoth. The Blade of the Black Empire, no longer containing Xal'atath, was picked up by members of the Horde and brought to their Warchief. As they presented the dagger to Sylvanas, a faint smile curled her lips. For the briefest moment, it seemed her eyes darkened. This blade is the compass that will guide them to victory and now Nathanos calls upon their champions once more.
The Warchief has entrusted him with a mission of the highest priority. There is no question as to its success, but to ensure that any obstacles are dealt with, he once again has need of our particular skills. Even though the Horde fleet has been decimated when the Alliance attacked Dazar’alor, the Horde still sets sail. This does not go unnoticed by the Alliance, who believe this is going to be easy picking for their superior forces. With one strike they can eliminate what remains of their enemy's fleet and rid Azeroth of Blightcaller’s filth once and for all....
A lot to unpack from one single cutscene. Nathanos guides the Horde fleet and his enemies to this precise location. This of course has you wonder if he knew this was going to happen. Are Sylvanas and Azshara working together? Does N’Zoth have control over the banshee queen or did the blade just whisper to them to go to this spot and something really, really cool would happen? That’s uncertain, but its pretty safe to say that the blade has worked as a compass and the blade is connected to N’Zoth. Speaking of the old god, he’s rather restless and wants to get out of his prison. A goal he has had for a very, very long time, even before he turned Azshara and those that chose to follow her over 10,000 years ago.
In the queen’s possession is the Tidestone of Golganeth. This is one of the Pillars of Creation that we gathered during Legion in order to seal of the gateway at the Tomb of Sargeras. In retrieving the Tidestone, we first went to Azsuna, meeting the cursed prince Farondis and his people. The prince wanted to rise up against Azshara and her plans by using the Tidestone against her. However, Azshara found out about this and wasn’t very happy. She shattered the Tidestone and left a cursed Azsuna behind--and then we, many years later, showed up to gather the pieces. The naga stole those pieces of the Tidestone, which we then stole back to use it at the tomb. Now in Battle for Azeroth, somehow Azshara’s forces entered the Tomb after we left and took the Tidestone with them.
This of course raises a lot of questions, first and foremost how did this happen? Sadly they don’t really explain this. I would have loved a mini scenario where you become a naga and fulfill this mission for the queen, but all we really get as an explanation is that the queen won’t leave it unguarded as we did. Other questions raised are: Why didn’t she take any of the other pillars? Is the Legion gateway open again? Was this perhaps their plan all along to have us gather these pillars and use it to their advantage?
To catch up on the story and the main characters, check out our lore articles on
Queen Azshara
,
Xal'atath
,
Sylvanas
, and
Nathanos
.
Although the storyline for Nazjatar chronologically happens after the Battle for Dazar'alor, there are no requirements to unlock Nazjatar besides being level 120. As your character logs in, you should receive the quests
The Wolf's Offensive
/
The Warchief's Order
, that will immediately set you up to start adventuring in Nazjatar.
We've analyzed the Azshara cutscene in great detail in the
Azshara's Magnificent Welcome
cinematic, going into Nathanos' mysterious reaction, why the Tidestone no longer being kept in the Tomb of Sargeras is very bad news, and the symbolism of viewing Azshara in the reflective water.
Establishing A Base
It looks like Nathanos doesn’t even really care about what has happened and is still on the right track to complete Sylvanas’ mission. Hopefully in time we’ll figure out what’s going on with the Warchief. For now Oculeth is kind enough to give us a safe passage down the waterfall where we meet up with Lor’themar who sends us over to Thalyssra. The naga are taking some of our forces captive, tapping into the power of the ley lines, and working on some damnable ritual which we stop by killing Tidemistress Ethendriss.
When we encounter Ashvane, it's another moment that raised a couple of questions. How did Ashvane end up with the naga? Again, we don’t have a clear answer. Last time we saw her was during the Horde war campaign where they got her out of prison and into a secret meeting with Sylvanas. Now all of a sudden she shows up here. Lor’themar does seem to know about her and is as much surprised to see her allied with the naga as we are.
The elves--Night Elf, Nightborne, Blood Elf--pretty much all of them have a lot of history with this place. When Queen Azshara’s plans of summoning the Legion into the world failed, their Well of Eternity became incredibly unstable, sundering the land. She, her people, and their kingdom was dragged to the bottem of the sea. That’s where they entered the bargain with N’Zoth and were transformed into the naga. At the bottom of the sea, the naga built for themselves a new city, Nazjatar, originally a bit closer to the Maelstrom, the remnants of the well.
Our new friend Neri Sharpfin is part of the Horde faction in the area known as the Unshackled. She was the first of the kelfin to escape and made a home for them. Sea giants, Makura and gilgoblins are oppressed by the naga, but have now banded together to rise up and seize their freedom.
The Alliance survives their descend into Nazjatar as well. Genn Greymane, Jaina Proudmoore and Shandris Feathermoon are leading the charge. They too save the forces captured by the naga, stop them from tapping into the leylines, and halt the ritual of the Tidemistress. Ashvane has the naga launch their azerite weapons at us as well until we also encounter an illusion of the Scepter of Tides. Sharas’dal, a weapon wielded by Azshara herself, is the legendary artifact Restoration Shamans used during Legion which is why it’s odd we encounter it here.
Okani is part of the Waveblade Ankoan, an anciet species of deep sea warriors who traverse the deepest and most dangerous parts of the ocean. The Jinyu find their origin as murlocs who found their way to the sacred waters of the Vale of Eternal Blossoms. Its powerful energies transformed them and they left the land behind long ago. The Ankoan are not from these waters. Their clan has been battling the naga for generations, but it was only in recent times that they took the fight to Nazjatar. Their leader was slain by the vile queen, and now honor binds their clan to avenge their death or die here trying.
“Azshara. Perhaps the most powerful sorceress the world has ever known.”
“You could not have stumbled upon this place by accident. She wanted you here.”
“But why lure us here? Why not simply drown us and be done with it?”
“There is something going on here that we do not yet understand. We must find out what she’s after.”

Heart of Azeroth Essences
Both Jaina and Oculeth need our aid, the power of our Heart of Azeroth, to set up a portal back home. Speaking of the heart, magni bronzebeard tracks us down in Nazjatar to let us know that mother is done with her calculations. The chamber of heart has been fixed up, but Azeroth itself is still heading to terminal failure. We must amplify our heart of Azeroth by gathering essences found from all kinds of different sources. The first one takes us back into Highmountain, Neltharion’s lair, where we meet up with our uncorrupted black dragon friend; Ebonhorn. Together we prove ourselves worthy to obtain the petrified ebony scale, all done under the watchful eye of a Blacktalon Watcher. They’re allies of another uncorrupted black dragon, Wrathion, who hasn’t been seen for quite a while now. Last we heard was from an Island Expedition quest which suggests that he’s hanging out on the Dragon Isles. Another blacktalon watcher has been spotted in Nazjatar, so hopefuly that means we’ll see Wrathion or the Dragon Isles real soon... Time will tell!
Back in Nazjatar we’re well aware that we can’t hide forever. We’ll need to assault Azshara’s palace and figure out what kind of defenses she has in place...

, speculating on why Wrathion is sending his agents to Nazjatar. We've also recapped the lore of the Dragonflights and how their story could further develop in
Dragonflights of the Old Gods and Mystery of the Dragon Isles
.
Questing in Nazjatar
Going even near the Tidestone while it still has its protections is just suicide. We have to be smarter, prepare our forces, and figure out a way to penetrate Azshara’s wards. In the meantime, Neri could use our help as she hasn’t heard from their scouts in a while. They have been keeping an eye on the Zank’ ir Slave Pens, where the naga take their people to break them. Something is going on and we quickly discover that we’re only on time to save Poen and his close friend Mak. I guess one is better then none.
With Neri and Poen Gillbrack returning home and Vim Brineheart already living in the base, they are the three followers we can choose from to take on our adventures. The Alliance do a similar thing except they’re asked to go and save their shaman, Farseer Ori, together with his young initiate called Odari. They left to investigate nearby disturbance in the elements, but neither of them returned. Turns out that the naga attacked and the elements are in chaos. The farseer must complete the ritual that he started, must be released from his cage. Ori is safely brought back together with Unter Akana and Bladesman Inowari, they’re our choices for followers to take with us on our adventures.
Nazjatar awaits with specific quests designed for the follower you choose to take with you on that day. Quests like killing naga forces, rares, murlocs, hydra. There are scrying stones to reveal hidden treasures. Chum to throw in the water, ore to collect, plants to feed in order to summon rares. Jumping on jellyfish, gather materials, make wine. World events with pvp to capture objects. PvE world events like massive bosses summoned by Azshara or groups of naga forces getting ready for the assault....
Neptulon the tidehunter, the elemental lord of water, is not happy with what Azshara has done in his domain so he sends over some powerful forces of his own to teach the naga a lesson. There’s a murloc trading game, trees you can awaken in special ways. Mad Mardivas has locked up his most prized possessions with mini games like Bejeweled and Uncross the Wires as well as his laboratory where we can summon some of his creations. Our flight whistle is upgraded after helping the spirit of Kelya Moonfall track down her father. We also learn the origin of the snap dragons. Anyone that has played
Warcraft 3
remembers the naga using these units, but they’ve never been added to
World of Warcraft
. That has now been changed and as it turns out, their origin lies with Professor Elryna who modified the local Rabid Hillstalker in order of Azshara.

Side Quest - They Made Their Choice
That in a nutshell is what we do while adventuring in Nazjatar yet there’s one more side quest that stands out before we return to the main story. A lot of Nazjatar looks like the ocean floor just being raised to the surface without a whole lot of adjustments to it. The exception is found closer to the Eternal Palace where you can find more of the naga’s architecture.
Yet to the east we find the ruins of Zin-Azshari, the glory of Azshara, originally named Elun’dris meaning the Eye of Elune. The queen was so loved by her people that they renamed the city to her. This is the original capital of the Night Elf empire where Azshara desperatly tried to hold back the waters. Both Thalyssra and Shandris want us to accompany them into the city not for our factions, but for a more personal matter. Shandris lost her family during the War of the Ancients and was adopted by Tyrande and Malfurion. Her city was attacked by the Legion and many of the survivors fled here only to drown...or worse. Eventually she hears the name Janius who was her closest childhood friend and she tries to find out what happened to him. Meanwhile Thalyssra, a Nightborne of Suramar, also remembers the nightmare that was the War of the Ancients. Her people eventually sealed off their city but before that, they would often visit their sister city of Zin-Azshari. Sivara was her most gifted student and she was the one who recommended her to enrol into the Royal Academy. which unintentionally pushed her right into the hands of Azshara. She must make sure that’s she’s not stuck in eternal torment like all these other spirits lingering here.
Sivara will wait for us as the first boss in the Eternal Palace while the spirit of Janius finds peace. It’s clear that Azshara is toying with us. Showing us the moment she made the dark bargain with N’Zoth. Showing us the power she could unleash at any moment. The waters surrounding us a constant reminder of the immenant death she could unleash... It’s time to take charge and regain control.
Our efforts have helped with rebuilding our supplies and gained our friends some much needed combat experience, but we need more information. Our allies still held captive by Azshara’s forces should be able to give us a firsthand account so we ride out to rescue them at the Deepsea Slave Pen. They thought they would die in that cave. Sometimes they wished it...
“Azshara has minions across all of Nazjatar. The Azsh’ari summoners can force the tides to do their evil bidding. Some of the naga have learned to harness the Void. They call themselves the Shirakess. But the Zanj’ir are the ones who should worry you the most. Thye’re hiding something powerful within their miltary stronghold.”

There are many other small side quests in Nazjatar, which are all covered in the
Comprehensive Nazjatar Guide
, like origins of the Snapdragons.
Turning the Tide
We can’t just walk in there and expect the naga to tell us what they’re hiding. Instead, a dead zoatroid on our head will make them believe we’re under their control. The dirtiest of jobs are given to us by the overseer like feeding the snapdragons, collecting pearls, sharpen their blades...azerite blades... Special weapons crafted by none other then Priscilla Ashvane. She must have taught the naga how to forge azerite weaponry. We don’t know why, but it’s certain that the naga having access to this kind of weaponry is not going to be good for anyone. By following the azerite residue trail, we track down their stash where a very loud Ashvane is enjoying giving orders.
“This won’t end well for you i’m afraid. You face far greater forces than you know.”
“This is your last warning! I can still offer you mercy. Leave now and I will call off the assault.”
“Azshara! AZSHARA! You cannot leave me here to die! We had a deal!”
“Contain yourself human. Show faith in your queen. I would not let them take you. Not before you have fulfilled your destiny.”
I really wonder how this relation with Ashvane and Azshara came to be and if we’ll see a proper explanation for it. For now, Ashvane won’t trouble us and we’ve secured their weapons. We must consider our next move carefully as our allies gain more and more experience and information. Information that lets us know about a naga enclave located in the ruins of Zin-Azshari. If there is anything potent enough to counter Azshara’s sorcery, it will be in the ruins of the capital city.
The experience of this part of the quest is actually rather different depending on the faction that you play for. The Horde joins Thalyssra into the city where a communication crystal needs a bit of power to get operational again. Worth the effort though as it allows us to talk to Thalyssra where ever we find one of these crystals.
The corrupted creatures are defeated while the source of the corruption has quite a lot to say. Gotta love the whispers of the void and this little creature is like an old god on steroids. You might remember walking into AQ and have C’thun whisper to you. Say that you were already dead and what not. It reminds me a lot of that, corruption seeping into our minds.
“Defeating a mere herald means nothing. N’Zoth’s visions are growing stronger...more tangible. There is so much he wants you to see.”
“Your ambitions doomed the people of Zin-Ashari! For this? All to earn the favor of your dark master?”
“The bargain was struck on MY terms, and through it, my loyal followers embraced a grand destiny. You cannot see the truth yet, but you will. Oh, how you will!”
“It seems we struck a nerve. Let us continue the search.”
We've analyzed the zoatroid whispers in
Eye of the Corruptor Whispers in Nazjatar
, hinting at a clash between Alleria and Sylvanas, ominous activity in the Circle of Stars, and a female character (possibly Azshara or Sylvanas) tricking a leader like Anduin or N'Zoth. Interpreting the whispers to refer to Sylvanas vs N'Zoth factors into our
analysis of Sylvanas' possible endgame
.
As for Lady Ashvane, we'll see her as a
boss in the Eternal Palace
. You can read her full story in
The Fate of Lady Ashvane
which has spoilers for her ultimate fate in the raid!
Javelins of Suramar
Good old Oculeth used to have a workshop in the Highborne estates. We check it out to find some of his notes. Of course it wouldn’t be Oculeth if there wasn’t some sort of orb trap involved. At least this time it doesn’t teleport us halfway into the ocean.
The spirits in the area are some of the most loyal followers of the queen in life. Lets not forget, they renamed their city from their goddess Elune to Azshara herself, and when the rebellion formed...they were unable to accept that their queen might be doing something wrong. It had to be the advisors surrounding her. That’s the kind of devotion Azshara had from her followers. We talk to the spirits and they mention that the Javalins of Azshara, or Suramar as they were originally called, could have the power to pierce nearly any ward. Thalyssra had thought them to be lost but apparently they’re in the hands of one of Azshara’s most loyal handmaidens.
“Care to admire the Highborne’s handiwork, Thalyssra? To look upon all that your hubris has wrought?”
“Suramar rebelled against Azshara. Were it not for our courage, the Legion’s forces would have overwhelmed Azeroth.”
“Yet instead of fighting alongside the rest of us, you walled oyurselves off as Kalimdor burned around you.”
“It breaks a queen’s heart to watch her subjects squabble. Such a futile argument. In the end, you will all be mine again – one way or another.”
“Azshara. Rest assured that we stand united in our contempt for you.”
“You see? We have found common ground already. Dear children, it is only a matter of time until you kneel before my throne. As a willing subject...or a broken corpse.”
“Shandris. We sealed off Suramar to keep the Pillars of creation free from Azshara’s grasp. The power she holds with just the Tidestone...”
“I know. So long as it remains in her clutches, we have little hope of victory.”
(The bit about Suramar shielding themselves to keep Azshara away from their Pillar of Creation, the Eye of Aman’thul, has been added with this quest. Originally the explanation was just that they sealed themselves away with the coming of the Legion.)
The Alliance also go into Zin-Azshari, together with Shandris. It’s a real shame that they decided not to add Tyrande and Malfurion to this experience. I understand that you can only shine the spotlight on so many characters, but those two played a critical role in the rebellion against Azshara. These are the streets that they walked too. How cool would it have been to see Tyrande and Azshara talk with one another? The Priestess of Elune has always been afraid to turn into Azshara herself during her role as leader of the Night Elves. But in Battle for Azeroth, Tyrande has now gone through extreme lengths to force Elune to empower her. Imagine that Night Warrior ritual to have its origins somehow connected with Azshara or being used as a tool to taunt Tyrande... Ah well what could have been! Lets check in with Shandris.
“I will savor the moment when we finally strike her down. Come, we must push deeper into Zin-Ashari.”
Holding back the waters around us is not going to easy, even if we do take control of the Tidestone. We gather some elemental cores, not only to rid the area of the befouled elementals, but also to power the spellwork to keep the water at bay. Our Ankoan ally would like us to get some vengeance by slaying the makrura as well as taking out N’Zoth corruption in the form of the Eye of the Corruptor. Meanwhile Shandris has us talking to the spirits of the highborne to find something to overcome the guardian of the Tidestone. The books and the spirits bugged out a little bit, but all the same, they point us to the handmaiden and the javelin.
One book that did peak my interest was the one of naga origin:
We have spoken with the spirits that reside in this place. There was some hope that we could either convince them to our side, or to remove them entirely. The Queen has ordered us out of the city. She wants to leave the denizens of the ruins alone. I feel it’s shortsighted, to abandon the ruins to spirits. We could reclaim and restore this part of the city, turning it from ancient highborne to the glory of naga architecture.
Is there a sense of nostalgia within the queen? Affection for the subjects she lost or merely part of her plan of using the spirits later? A side quest explains that some of the spirits here are unable to accept the truth, to admit that Azshara’s pride and vanity destroyed them, when they worshipped her... They would lose everything if they admitted she allowed them to die. That in combination with the naga using foul orbs to drain their energy and keep them trapped here is why these spirits linger so we destroy the orbs too.

We've also speculated as to how
Tyrande could reappear
later in the story, as we examine the fallout from the stolen Tidestone hopefully in later patches. Blizzard also explained that
Tyrande's story was on hold
in an interview from May 2019. You can also unlock Night Warrior customizations by playing through the
Darkshore Storyline
to see how Tyrande's story developed.
Acquiring the Tidestone
With the Javalin of Suramar in our possession, we’re ready for the final stretch. Both sides have worked hard to arm themselves and of course run into another just before they’re ready to strike.
“Ah, Champion, you’ve arrived. Perfect timing.” “We plan to secure the Tidestone. I advise you to stay out of our way.”
“Your arrival is timely. They seem to be spoiling for a fight.” “I thought I smelled an ambush...”
“This is our best opportunity to seize the Tidestone from Azshara’s grasp.”
“Their champion holds the Javalin of Suramar. We should hear what they have to say.”
“Thalyssra, there is little our troops can do against the guardian. We shall assault the nearby naga camp to buy you the time you need.” “Our champion bears the Javalin. We must ensure it strikes true. First Arcanist, if you shield me while I attack, we stand a better chance of succeeding.” “A sound plan. We face a formidable foe.”
“Coordination between our forces is the best strategy. But know that any duplicity will be met with retribution.”
“Be warned that if I catch even the scent of treachery, I will tear you to shreds.”
We then assault the Gorgonian Overlook with Genn and Lor’themar.
“Champion, with me. I would have you by my side as we take the camp.” “As you wish Greymane. Your champion does not frighten me.”
“I shall accompany you. Together, we will strike at the heart of the camp.” “Two against one is it? You are right to beware of me, elf.”
“Impressive, Greymane. A pity we never had the honor of facing one another on the battlefield.” “How fortunate that we never did. It would have been a waste to kill you.”
“Hmph. You fight well...for an elf.” “And you fight well for a wolf.”
The way is clear. The palace awaits. We must end this. Queen Azshara is the most powerful sorcerers in existence. Even back during the War of the Ancients, when she was still a Night Elf, the pitlord Mannoroth sized her up and he thought that her power would rank around the area of Archimonde and Kil’jaeden. Imagine now that she’s allied to N’Zoth...imagine just how powerful she’s become. She mastered magics thousands of years before our archmagi were even born. We cannot underestimate her power or her planning, for she has had thousand of years to prepare for us...
And that is the adventure in Nazjatar and how the Alliance and the Horde make their way into the Eternal Palace. Our weapons are turned away from one another for the moment as we focus on the real threat, the queen and N’Zoth. There was the War Campaign in which the Alliance and Horde teamed up to rescue Baine from the clutches of Sylvanas. There we saw Jaina team up with Thrall and Saurfang and here we see them team up with one another; Genn, Thalyssra, Lor’themar and Jaina, all of them pointing their weapons towards Azshara. But old hatreds are not that easily forgotten, Thalysra fears. The wolf king will not be at ease until the Banshee Queen is no more. And she’s right. Greymane does not trust our Horde ‘allies’. We will make use of them when we take the fight into the palace, but this is an arrangement of convenience. At least he doesn’t detect the Banshee’s stench, nor that of her bootlicking general.
Speaking of the bootlicker, what is Nathanos doing during all of this? How and why did Sylvanas lead our forces here? What is up with Ashvane and her allegiance to Azshara? Still a fair few questions left to be answered...perhaps we’ll see them coming reset as the Eternal Palace opens up.
