Story of NazjatarEternal Palace OverviewAbyssal Commander Sivara“You can’t stop us, Azshara. We are coming to end your reign.”
‘Stop you, my dear child why would I want to stop you? Consider this a formal invitation. My palace has been made ready. Your presence is eagerly anticipated. So many wonders lie in store. Such...magnificence...”“It is good you survived. I would hate for our gathering to end prematurely.”
 “Enough of these games Azshara. Face us!”
 “Patience little one. We will be together soon enough.”
“Ashvane means to hold us at bay. But I can sense fonds of magic nearby that are feeing into this room. If we disrupt the flow of those channels, Ashvane’s barrier will fall.”Sivara was Thalyssra's most gifted student, convincing her to enroll in The Royal Academy. which unintentionally pushed her right into the hands of Azshara. In a side questline, Thalyssra learns what happens to Sivara in a Zin-Azshari flashback. This quest starts from La città degli amici annegati, given by Shandris or Thalyssra at 73.5 47.9.

Abyssal Commander Sivara is a single phase encounter which requires the raid to avoid certain damaging abilities depending on the marks they are given at the beginning of the fight. Good player awareness and quick reaction times are needed to bring down the Abyssal Commander Sivara! Learn how to defeat this boss in the Abyssal Commander Sivara Guide by FatbossTV.
Radiance of Azshara“The ritual has begun! We all have our parts to play. Isn’t that so, my child?”
“Yes, my queen. I sacrifice all that I am to serve you!”
“Gaze upon true devotion, landwalkers! BEhold, the rage of a queen.”
“Strike that monstrosity down champions. We must stop the flow of energy from this chamber.”“My...life...for Azshara...”
“Well done. Now to find the last font and destroy it. The sooner we do so, the better our chances of foiling Azshara’s mad scheme.”Radiance of Azshara is the second or third boss in Azshara's Eternal Palace, found in The Grand Reception wing. Tecnica: Glifo - Profondità Oscure is a notable drop from the boss.

Previously in Legion we faced the Ira di Azshara, a boss in the dungeon Eye of Azshara, known for the aggressive seagulls in Mythic+. Wrath of Azshara is a large boss with a large hitbox. Due to the heavy-movement nature of the fight, it is important for players all to stay within range of the healer. Melee DPS should attack from the boss's side, not the back, so that the healer can reach both the tank and the melee. Details on how to defeat this boss and related trash in the Eye of Azshara Strategy Guide.Blackwater Behemoth“Well done! Now to find the last font and destroy it. The sooner we do so, the better our chances of foiling Azshara’s mad scheme.”
“The barrier has fallen! Let us see how brave Ashvane is without a magical shield to protect her.”Blackwater Behemoth, an underwater encounter, is the second or third boss of Azshara's Eternal Palace, found in The Grand Reception wing. A notable drop is the Sangueduro Senzamente battle pet.

If you're interested in other underwater zones, check out the controversial leveling zone of Vashj'ir, added in Cataclysm. Players receive underwater breathing, swim speed buffs, and eventually a sea horse mount early on in questing to make transportation easier. Players learn about the history of the Highborne, as this city was home to Lady Vashj before the Sundering, as well as the threat of Ozumat, culminating in a battle between Neptulon and the naga.

This zone was originally intended to have further dungeons and quest hubs in 4.2, but that was dropped in favor of developing Firelands and the Molten Front.

Kelp'thar Forest is the first subzone players reach when questing in Vashj'ir. It has tropical underwater life and is closer to the surface than other subzones. Quests introduce the threat of the naga while also reacquainting the player with stranded members of the Zul'Aman exploratory crew.

The Shimmering Expanse is the second subzone of Vashj'ir. It contains Circolo della Terra quartermaster in Silver Tide Hollow, the only flight points in the zone, and tons of Velo di Azshara. In this section, players learn about the highborne's past and the threat of the naga through the eyes of Battlemaidens.

Poseidus, who drops Redini di Poseidus, is mostly likely to spawn in this subzone too.

Abyssal Depths is the last, and darkest zone, players reach when questing in Vashj'ir. They are home to the ancient god L'ghorek, which the Twilight Hammer is siphoning energy from to be prepared when fighting Neptulon in the future.
Lady Ashvane“We had a deal Azshara! Give me the power you promised.”
 “Oh, I intend to. I merely wanted our guests to bear witness to your glorious ascension.”
“No! Not like this! What are you doing to me?!”
“You asked to be powerful, Prisicilla. Consider our bargain complete.”Lady Ashvane is a major character in Battle for Azeroth, orchestrating a coup against Katherine Proudmoore in Boralus with the assistance of Freehold Pirates and creating many Azerite explosives. She was eventually defeated by Jaina Proudmoore using the Lord Admiral's Pendant to summon the Kul Tiras fleet and surround her. You can learn more about those quest lines in the Story of Kul Tiras.

However, in a later patch, she was freed from the Tol Dagor prison in the Horde War Campaign, and was last seen talking to Sylvanas. If you just want to read about Lady Ashvane's story in each patch, check out our PTR preview The Fate of Lady Ashvane.

Lady Ashvane is a two phase encounter in which the raid must break through her Carapace Indurito in phase one as to allow them to deal heavy boss damage during phase two as her carapace regenerates. Excellent coordination is needed to defeat this boss, as several mechanics require teamwork and communication to deal with correctly. One of her notable drops is the Aggressore Senzaluce battle pet.

Learn how to defeat this boss in the Lady Ashvane Guide by FatbossTV.Orgozoa“Ah, good. You arrived just in time to welcome these little ones into my service.” “We cannot allow these creatures to hatch. They will overrun the surface!”“I should be cross over your brutal attacks upon my underlings, but...I must admit, you provide splendid entertainment. Perhaps he was right after all. You do show great potential.”
“Enough games, Azshara! This shall be the final day of your twisted reign.”Orgozoa is the fifth boss in Azshara's Eternal Palace, found in the Depths of the Devoted wing. Benthic Gear with Danni alle Aberrazioni is especially notable on Orgozoa as you deal increased damage to aberrations.

Learn how to defeat this boss in the Orgozoa Guide by FatbossTV.

Orgozoa has a very similar model to the Occhio del Corruttore, an NPC in Nazjatar with disquieting whispers. In Eye of the Corruptor Whispers in Nazjatar we review all the whispers and speculate on their meaning.Queen's Court“She is not our queen, spit on her.”Queen's Court is the sixth boss in Azshara's Eternal Palace, found in the Depths of the Devoted wing.

The Queen's Court is a single phase encounter in which the raid must deal with two bosses simultaneously. Throughout the fight, Queen Azshara will enact various decrees that the raid must follow, otherwise they will suffer dire consequences... Learn how to defeat this boss in the Queen's Court Guide by FatbossTV.

Performing several nice emotes to the Queen will award you the Con il benestare della corte achievement, but if you rudely emote her, she may kill you instead!

Za'qul“There is...a presence here. Tendrils strangling my mind.” 
“The locks weaken. The world screams. N’Zoth rises once more.”
"Out there...titan pillars. And chains descending into darkness....”
 “Azshara wants us to see this. Why? Surely she knows we would never let that monster free!”
“There is no time to warn the others! We must end this champions...now!”Scatola Rompicapo di Yogg-Saron“Champions, I will hold open a portal to reality for as long as I can.”Za'qul is the seventh boss in Azshara's Eternal Palace, is found in The Circle of Stars wing. Notable loot includes Paraspalle di Za'qul and Piovra Senza Nome.

Za'qul, Harbinger of Ny'alotha is a four phase encounter in which the raid will be dragged to several different realms to deal with the bosses dangerous abilities. An excellent understanding of boss abilities is needed to defeat this mechanically complex encounter. Learn how to defeat this boss in the Za'qul Guide by FatbossTV.

Originally on the 8.2 PTR, Za'qul was called the Herald of N'zoth. When his title was updated to the Harbinger of Ny'alotha, drawing a clear connection between N'Zoth and the city, we wrote Ny'alotha, the Sleeping City of N'Zoth. In this article, we review past mentions of Ny'alotha and what it means if this city is the realm of N'Zoth. Since the beginning of Warbringer: Azshara, N'Zoth's goal has been to restore the glory of the Black Empire - the kingdom of the Old Gods that ruled Azeroth before the Titan's defeated and imprisoned their leaders. Ny'alotha being a city associated with sleep, which is commonly used as a metaphor for death throughout the Old God whispers, implies that its inhabitants may be all those imprisoned or dead minions who fell in the war with the Titans. Therefore, it may be the central key to restoring the Black Empire - if the city awakens, so to do all its inhabitants, and that does not bode well for the current residents of Azeroth!

The Eternal Palace raid also revisits many whispers from the Emerald Nightmare raid spoken by Il'gynoth. In The Emerald Dream and Il'gynoth's Whispers in Rise of Azshara we examine how all of these prophecies play out.
Queen Azshara“Nicely done. It is so rare for mortals to exceed my expectations. If only your friends had had been as capable. That human novice, and the pale elf with the sword. Ah well... acceptable losses.”
“Liar!”
 “Now is that any way to repaay me for my generosity? For the privilege I have seen fit to grant you? Come heroes. Prove yourselves worthy. Find me in the circle of stars.”

“At last! The final preparations are in place and we have a captive audiance.”
“Stay vigilant champions. Azshara conceals schemes within schemes. She wants something.”
“You must indulge the theatrical nature of tonight’s entertainment. We have waited so very long for this moment, and we simply cannot resist savoring it.”
“Without further ado...The stage is set, the hour is at hand. Legions arise! Serve your queen’s command!”“I call the cursed lovers to enter thee stage!” 
“Their eyes long for one another, yet their gaze incurs calamity.”“From darkness, sirens come forth. COax the power of these arcanes wards! Rattle the chains that bind him!” 
“Stars save us...Azzshara is drawing upon the Heart of Azeroth. Feeding its enrgies into her ritual!”
“You’ve only just come to this realization? “First Arcanist” indeed! You see the truth now, don’t you heroes? Every move you’ve made has been according to my will.” 
“Champions, stop her!”
“That lumbering dwarf believed you could save Azeroth by empowering your shiny little Heart. The gift of a sleeping titan. yes, a titan’s heart was eactly what was needed. Not to heal the world...but to shatter the prison of a god. Such delicious irony...the diamond king has been made a pawn.”
“The ritual nears completion. The black empire rises and the world awaits its true queen.” 
“There will be no corination this day. Thalyssra aid me. Together we can hold her here.” 
“Now you will know what it means to be trapped Azshara!”
 “I am Azshara! I was destined to rule. No force can bind me.”
 “Champions! Claim victory!’drowning ourselves in the Circle of Starsthe king of diamonds has been made a pawn“You caught me off guard. Fair enough. But you are as trapped here as I. This need not be the end...for any of us. I know your dreams...your lust for power. The hunger with which you pursue your desires. Kneel before me and I will bestow talents beyond your wildest imagination. refuse...and be crushed beneath the tides. Choose your fate. ”“You are all...beneath me...”
“She wanted us divided. Fighting each other kept us distracted from the true threat.”
 “Azshara wasn’t the only one manipulating us. I should have seen it sooner.”
“Do not relax your guard. Something here is...stirring.”Queen Azshara is the final boss in Azshara's Eternal Palace, found in The Circle of Stars wing.

Queen Azshara is the ruler of the naga, overseeing their activities from the sunken city of Najzatar. She was once the ruler of the night elves, being beloved by both Kaldorei and Highborne alike. Being one of the most beautiful and powerful beings to ever exist in Azeroth, her Alliance with Sargeras and the Burning Legion led to her downfall, destroying both the Kaldorei empire and sundering Azeroth itself during the War of the Ancients.

However, she was not completely defeated after the Sundering, striking a pact with the Old God N'Zoth and saving the Highborne by transforming them and creating the naga race. Now acting as one of the rulers of the oceans, Azshara continues plotting to rid the world of what she perceives as inferior races. Learn more in our Lore of Queen Azshara Overview.

Queen Azshara is a four phase encounter with 2 intermissions. The fight largely revolves around the idea of keeping the Ancient Wards energised, as otherwise the raid will start taking damage and eventually a Catastrophic Failure will occur, instantly killing the entire raid. Learn how to defeat this boss in the Queen Azshara Guide by FatbossTV.

While Queen Azshara does not drop a mount on Mythic difficulty, she has other notable rewards, including:

We've also analyzed the symbolism and Highborns culture behind the Cursed Lovers phase, as well as the troubling implications between Azshara stealing the Tidestone, which set this entire plot into motion.
Azshara CinematicWe've also analyzed the cinematic and speculated on where the plot could go next in Azshara's Third Death and the Final Boss of BFA - Eternal Palace Cinematic Analysis. In this article, we examine Old God whispers, the Circle of Stars, Azshara's third death, a possible trip to Ny'alotha, and more!

Besides the fate of Azshara, there are several other unanswered mysteries from Patch 8.2:

Where is the Prison of N'Zoth? - The prison of N'Zoth appears to have shifted position since its depiction in pre-Sundering Chronicle--but there are many plausible explanations for this. Still, it's troubling that the prison may now be so close to the Maelstrom and the volatile energies of the Well of Eternity.
Sylvanas' Endgame - how will Sylvanas' story tie in with Azshara and N'Zoth, where do her true allegiances lie, and what schemes does she still have in store?
Blacktalon Agents of Wrathion in Rise of Azshara - Wrathion's agents are spying on us in 8.2 and we don't know why. Could this tie into the Dragon Isles?

Leading up to Patch 8.2, we also speculated that Azshara would live, a prediction which turned out to be true. Following the pattern of Patch 8.1 focusing on Jaina and Patch 8.2 on Azshara, both Warbringers who also served as the final boss of the patch, it's likely that 8.3 will focus on Sylvanas.
Factions Moving Forward“Our victory rings hollow. Azshara’s master will rise. Nothing can stop that now.”
“For all her lies, Priscilla Ashvane spoke one truth. The war between the Alliance and Horde has kept us distracted. Divided, we have no hope against N’zoth.”
“We may have found common cause here in Nazjatar, but the battle still rages beyond these waters. So long as Sylvanas holds Orgrimmar, there can be no lasting peace.”
“The war needs to end, Lor’themar. You know this to be true.”
“I had hoped that reason would prevail. But the time has come to finish this. I will tell my people what transpired here. Of how Azshara fell because we stood together. Of the threat rising from the dpeths, and all that is at stake if we should fail. Then I will take my plac ebeside Saurfang and Thrall, and pray that the sin’dorei stand with me.”

As we've seen in the Crossroads cinematic, Jaina and Thrall are willing to work together, learning from their paths to forge a (hopefully) long-lasting peace. Now, with the new conversation between Jaina and Lor'themar, Saurfang's rebellion has gained one more key supporter. This is a big step for Lor'themar, who knows who Sylvanas was as a loyal defender of Silvermoon before her death and transformation.

In our Crossroads cinematic analysis, we wonder if this newfound unity will lead to the dissolution of the factions--or if we've gone too far in Battle for Azeroth to truly mend relations, leading to even more rifts and alignments.

Commento di IncandioThe motion that wheels are being set in is looking bad for Sylvanas's leadership of the Horde. I'd say she is more likely to be the end boss rather than an Old God - we're not ready for that kind of showdown yet. The Void are obviously the new Legion. Blizzard need to squeeze every last expansion out of that nemesis that they can, because at the moment there isn't another one. There could even be side-expansions along the way with the Void lingering somewhat in the background, in much the same way that the Legion story continued to be told through Wrath, Cataclysm etc.

My fantasy-horror WoW expansion has Azeroth destroyed in an Outland-style conflagration, and the players having to restart their adventures on an entirely new planet - maybe seeking out intergalactic allies in the fight against the Black Empire, Titan relics lost on other worlds, and so on and so forth. That would be cool. It's about time another astral body was added to the map.Commento di SekynoCan someone shed some light on this for me? I've been wondering about this since the raid opened.

So in the article it says: "The really interesting part of the fight is the stage that we’re fighting on. It’s of titan design and it has Wards of Power. If one of them is completely drained the raid takes ticking damage. If all of them run out, Azshara wins. The ancient wards will be disabled and override the titan device keeping N’Zoth imprisoned."

And then: "The gift of a sleeping titan. Yes, a titan’s heart was exactly what was needed. Not to heal the world...but to shatter the prison of a god."

The first quoted text suggests that if we keep the wards charged, the prison will not be shattered and N'Zoth will not be released. Logically this means that if we kill her, we should be okay, right?

But then comes the second quote. How exactly are we shattering the prison of a god with HoA (why would something coming from Azeroth destroy a device of Titanic origin?), when all we do is keeping the wards charged?

She lured us there in the first place to help free N'Zoth I guess, but when we kill her he still gets freed? How come? How did that Titanic device "clicked" in place?

This is either bad writing or I didn't quite get this.Commento di LolusCan someone shed some light on this for me? I've been wondering about this since the raid opened.
