Priscilla: We had a deal, Azshara! Give me the power you promised!Azshara: Oh, I intend to. I merely wanted our guests to bear witness to your glorious ascension.Priscilla: No! Not like this! What are you doing to me?!Azshara: You asked to be powerful, Priscilla. Consider our bargain complete.Puppets... fools. The Banshee baited you... to your own slaughter.Gave Azshara... what she wanted. N'Zoth will rise... his madness... comes...Ashvane spoke with a serpent's tongue, but... could she be right? Were we lured to Nazjatar as part of some dark bargain?Azshara: You see the truth now, don't you, heroes? Every move you've made has been according to my will.Azshara: That lumbering dwarf believed you could save Azeroth by empowering your shiny little Heart. The gift of a sleeping titan.Azshara:Azshara: The ritual nears completion. The Black Empire rises... and the world awaits its true queen.You... the ones who thwarted my plans in Boralus. But no matter. A new path now lies before me.Alliance... Horde... fools, every one! Fighting each other, blind to the true powers at play. But you'll learn soon enough.Ashvane means to hold us at bay. But I can sense fonts of magic close by that are feeding into this room.If we disrupt the flow of those channels, Ashvane's barrier will fall.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.Stars save us... Azshara is drawing upon the Heart of Azeroth! Feeding its energies into her ritual!Champions, stop her!Do not relax your guard. Something here is... stirring.Can you get us to safety?She is... preventing teleportation...Jaina... we need a way out!She's... blocking teleportation...Such delicious irony... the diamond king has been made a pawn.I will hold the waters at bay... so long as I remain entertained.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!Come, heroes. Prove yourselves worthy. Find me... in the circle of stars.There is no time to warn the others! We must end this, champions... now!Azshara: Exploring my kingdom, I see. I almost envy you... beholding such grandeur for the first time must be inspiring indeed.Azshara! She found us!Azshara: Do you think you take a single footstep in the heart of my empire without my knowledge? You only exist here because I allow it to be so.Azshara: Bring our guests to the palace. Do not keep me waiting.At once, my queen!Once we reestablish the network, I should be able to communicate with you through these devices, champion.How quaint of you to restore these remnants of a simpler age.Azshara! She has found us.This is my realm, child. Not so much as a single spell can be cast in Nazjatar without my knowledge.I am First Arcanist Thalyssra of Suramar, and you are not my queen!Zin-Azshari is wondrous to behold, but do be careful. It would be a pity for you to suffer harm before I can grant you a proper audience.We should move on, $n. Azshara's preening must not distract us from our goal.Zin-Azshari was once the capital of the night elves' empire.These buildings have existed for millennia. We are fortunate, as this means there are ancient mechanisms that allow for stable portals.Ah, here it is.Queen Azshara might block my spells when she is here, but these devices allow us to overcome that.Thalyssra. So the Horde sends its sorceress to plunder the treasures of Zin-Azshari--and seize the Tidestone for your warchief, no doubt.Would you entrust it to Tyrande? Perhaps she needs it to invoke yet another forbidden ritual.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.Though our kingdoms stand divided, we share contempt for you, Azshara.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.So long as Azshara controls the Tidestone, she has the advantage over us.Its power should be turned against her--not against each other.Agreed. Perhaps these ruins hold the key to striking down our common foe.Ah, $n, you've arrived. Perfect timing...Ah, you have arrived, as timely as ever. They seem to be spoiling for a fight.We have business with the Tidestone. I would advise you to stay out of our way.I thought I smelled the Banshee's stench...I thought I smelled an ambush....We will not get another opportunity like this. We must seize the Tidestone from Azshara's grasp.Their champion carries the Javelin of Suramar. We might as well listen to what they have to say.I never expected to set eyes upon this city again.Azshara. She sacrificed her people twice over. Once to the Legion. The second time to N'Zoth.My sweet child. As a general, you should be familiar with sacrifice. A leader must ever serve the greater good."Good"?! What "good" is there in offering up your people to an Old God? In seeing them transformed into monsters?Such a pity. It seems you do not yet understand. Not to worry. Very soon, you will.I tire of her toying with us. Come. We must push deeper into Zin-Azshari.First Arcanist, there is little our troops will be able to do against the guardian. We shall assault the nearby naga camp to buy you the time you need.Jaina, our troops stand no chance against the Tidestone's guardian. Lor'themar and I will deal with the rest of the naga while you confront her.Very well. Lady Proudmoore, you and I should be enough to distract the guardian long enough for our champion to breach her defenses. We stand a better chance working together.Your plan does have merit. Let us be done with this quickly.Very well. We do face a formidable opponent.Be warned that if I catch even the scent of treachery, I will tear you to shreds.A sound plan. But if you dare double cross us, you will not escape retribution.Now, champion! The Javelin!Strike now, champion! Throw the Javelin!What have we here? A champion of Nazjatar versus a defiant outsider. High drama indeed.You refusal to bend the knee offends my loyal subjects. This one wishes to teach you proper respect.One of my champions seeks to earn glory in my name. It would be cruel of me to deny them this opportunity.This should be an entertaining test of skill. My chosen champion against... you.My servants are so eager to meet our guests. I do hope you enjoy their... attentions.Entertain your queen.You seem restless, landwalker. Allow your queen to provide some entertainment.My subjects seek to earn my favor by collecting your head. Who am I to refuse their loyalty?Perhaps your continued survival has made you complacent. A test of your resilience is in order.My subjects seldom face a true challenge. You will try to provide them with one, won't you?Such a disappointing performance from that underling. I must be sure to arrange a more suitable challenge for you.Surely you must realize the futility of resisting me. For each minion you dispatch, two more take its place.Ah, thank you. By culling weakness from my ranks, you only make my kingdom stronger.This changes nothing. You will kneel, and I will rule.Such perseverance! A noble trait... that will be bent to serve my will.What a shame... I was fond of that one. You will, of course, answer for your insolence.Savor this small victory. It may lessen the bitterness of your inevitable defeat.An impressive display of heroism. Perhaps you will prove worthy of serving me after all.Another victory... interesting. One day, I may allow you to serve as my champion.Such a devoted servant. So willing to die in my name... and so many others eager to take their place.Azshara has minions across every stretch of the sea floor.The Azsh'ari are vile summoners, calling the tides to do their bidding.Those that wield the power of the void call themselves the Shirakess.But the Zanj'ir are the ones who should worry you the most.They hide something powerful within their military stronghold.We need to know more about our enemy and their dark experiments. I am providing you a telemancy beacon. It should teleport back any void experiments you find.The naga have long tampered with powers better left alone.First she tampered with fel magic and broke the world. Now she tampers with the void and risks breaking it again. Azshara is a prideful fool who never learns.The naga have been repelled for now, but more are sure to come.We can keep the brunt of her forces engaged here while our champions pursue Azshara.Shandris, Thalyssra, you know better than anyone what Azshara is capable of.Go with our champions. Help them find her.Good luck... to all of us.They seek the tidestone... but I will not leave it unguarded as they so foolishly did.The Tidestone of Golganneth! That must be how she was able to part the sea!The naga incursions must have been a distraction. But if the Tidestone can manipulate that much water, we are all in grave danger. She could flood Nazjatar in an instant.We cannot allow that to happen. We must find a way to break the barrier and secure the Tidestone.Obtaining the tidestone must be our top priority, but we cannot press further into Azshara's realm without first knowing what we're up against.Azshara's forces are routed. We have broken her hold on the Tidestone.hat maelstrom still blocks our path into her palace.The Tidestone's power could be used to quell the storm...But I can't control its energies on my own.Perhaps we could... together.It is done. The way is open.Then let us ready our forces. Azshara's reign must end.I must say, that was a delightfully dramatic entrance.Welcome to my Eternal Palace, honored guests. Our festivities can finally commence.I fear there are a few final details that require my attention. Until I return, my servants will keep you... entertained.
