Comprehensive Nazjatar GuideRise of Azshara Lore/Speculation ArticlesGetting to NazjatarTo 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“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.”If you'd like to learn more about these two new factions, required for Battle for Azeroth Flying, check out our Unshackled (H) and Waveblade Ankoan (A) reputation guides!

Unlike Battle for Azeroth 8.0 factions, these factions have creative ways of earning reputation, including naga rituals, items from Mrrl, Mardivas's Laboratory, and legendary pet battles!

Interesting rewards include 剑鱼人海波鳐, 工艺图：冰浪雕文, and 潮光蛞蝓.

If you'd like to learn more about Sharas'dal, you can acquire this weapon as a Restoration Shaman, as well as multiple tints. Check out the lore book for this artifact in our Sharas'dal overview.

Side Quest - They Made Their Choice“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.”Learn about these two characters in our lore biographies - Lore of Shandris Feathermoon and Lore of First Arcanist Thalyssra.

Questline is started by Shandris or Thalyssra at 73.5 47.9 (map)

1. City of Drowned Friends / City of Drowned Friends
1. The Ever Drowning / The Ever Drowning
3. The Warbringer / The Warbringer
4. They Made Their Choice / They Made Their Choice

You can also check out our detailed writeup of the questline with pictures and transcriptions. As part of the questline, you can trigger the Warbringers: Azshara cinematic to play.

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 “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.”“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“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.”“I will savor the moment when we finally strike her down. Come, we must push deeper into Zin-Ashari.”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.Prerequisite: Secrets in the Sea portion of 沉落的野心/海渊之下

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“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.”“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.”Prepare for the Eternal Palace raid with our strategy guides by FatbossTV:
