Nazjatar is a prosperous city built in the deep sea. Its prototype is Zin-Azshari, the capital of the Dark Night Empire.
In the language of the Highborne, Zin-Azshari represents "the glory of Azshara".
It is worth mentioning that Zin Asari is not the original name of the capital of the Dark Night Empire. Its real name is Eludis, which means "Eye of Elune".
From here we can see why the Church of the Moon, headed by Tyrande, always dislikes Azshara. They believe that Azshara's emergence has taken away the glory and people's faith that should belong to the Moon God Elune.
.
As Azshara led the Dark Night Empire to conquer the north and south, and made great achievements, the people who worshiped Azshara spontaneously proposed to rename Eludis to Zin Azshari, commemorating it with the name of this city.
The honor the Queen has won for her country.
During the heyday of the Dark Night Empire, Xin Assali covered an extremely vast area.
Since night elves don't like high-rise buildings where people gather together, in terms of city area alone, Xin Assali is no smaller than the modern cities in other worlds that Danmaku is familiar with.
The Azshara region that still remains on the surface today is just the suburbs of Zin Azshari, and the entire core city sank into the sea along with Azshara.
According to Vashchi, the area of the capital's suburbs is smaller than that of the core city, so we can roughly deduce how big the complete Zin Asari is.
After thousands of years of sea erosion, Nazjatar was rebuilt based on the ruins of the core city of Zin Assali. It still retains the architectural style of the Highborne Elves to a large extent, and also mixes in some Naga-style buildings that were formed later.
The entire city is shrouded in a huge magical barrier, and entry and exit require a special spell certification.
When applying for a temporary passage permit for Sarlayan, Vashj casually mentioned a few words.
This majestic barrier was built just a few years ago, and its core is the Golganais Tidestone that she originally traded from Sharlayan.
'oh?'
Sarlayan looked calm on the surface, but suddenly his heart moved.
Originally, he thought Azshara obtained the Tidestone to attack the land, but now it seems that this is not the case.
From that moment on, Azshara may have been ready to fall out with N'Zoth.
She herself was not afraid of the half-disabled N'Zoth, but she did not want the civilians under her rule to face the overwhelming Faceless Men.
For this reason, Azshara is prepared to try to recover one of the Pillars of Creation artifacts that has been lost for a long time in the Dark Night Empire - the Tide Stone.
Long before the War of the Ancients began, in order to suppress the unintended rebellion launched by Prince Faroldis, Azshara shattered the Tidestone with her own hands and used the power of this artifact to impose an eternal curse on Azsuna's rebels.
curse.
The Azsuna rebel army led by Farodis cannot achieve transcendence, and will be permanently bound to this land in the form of souls after death.
Bwonsamdi had promised Sharlayan that he would help Farodis and other Night Watchmen study how to lift the curse.
But as the saying goes, plans cannot keep up with changes.
Bwonsamdi, who was busy studying the curse, was pulled away by an unexpected situation. He recently returned to Azeroth after packing up his chores in the Shadow Realm.
After returning to his hometown after a few years, Bwonsamdi is still busy dealing with the troublesome matters that have been accumulated for several years in the Hades, and he can't think of going to Azsuna to continue fulfilling his commitments.
As the saying goes, to untie a bell, you must tie the bell.
Now that we have the opportunity to talk to Azshara face to face, instead of hoping that Bwonsamdi will come up with the results of his research, it is better to go directly to Azshara who personally laid the seal as a punishment.
A few years passed, and as Grand Magister Elisande rebuilt the Academy of Narthalas, more and more Nightborne left Suramar and went to study in this prestigious ancient academy.
Not only the Nightborne from Suramar, but also many scholars from Quel'Thalas came to Quel'Thalas, including native Quel'dorei, Sindra scholars who joined Quel'Thalas a few years ago, and even
There are Faldorei from beneath Suramar.
In addition, the Moon Guards of the Moon Protector Fortress also gave up the castle they had guarded for thousands of years, and moved their entire family to Narthalas Academy, starting a new life.
The Moon Guard is a battle mage unit during the Dark Night Empire. Since Suramar has been closed to the outside world for many years, this fortress has long lost its original significance.
After taking turns to persuade Elisande, Thalyssra and others, the Moon Guard, who was already eager for change, agreed to Elisande's new appointment and voluntarily came to Narthalas College to serve as a "security guard."
Several years have passed, and with Na'thalas College as the center, the barren Azsuna region has gradually begun to regain its popularity.
In the foreseeable future, Nar'thalas Academy, which has received strong support from Suramar, will continue to expand its influence, and the Azsuna region, which is full of ancient ruins, will also become prosperous again.
At that time, the ghost of the night watchman entrenched near the palace of Faroldis will become particularly annoying.
The local Sha'dorei and Faldorei know that these ghosts are friendly, but they cannot expect that all scholars who come from other places to study can quickly adapt to these ancient ghosts.
In Sarlayan's words, the existence of Farodis and others will sooner or later become an obstacle to Azuna's further revival. It would be a good thing for both parties to free them as soon as possible.
After following Vashj across the barrier into Nazjatar City, and on the way to the Eternal Palace, Sarlayan had been secretly observing the layout of the Naga capital.
'The map provided by my mother is very accurate, and all kinds of land surfaces can be compared one by one.'
'The next thing that needs to be done is to conduct an actual inspection to ensure that when it is necessary to carry a bucket and run away, it will not suddenly get stuck due to unfamiliarity with the terrain.'
Vashj, who was leading the way, didn't know that Thalayan was thinking about running away. She thought that this young fellow highborne was shocked by the bustling street scene of Nazjatar and was quite proud of her heart.
Indeed, as the continuation of Zin Aishari, Nazjatar's prosperity is no worse than Silvermoon City, the capital of Quel'Thalas, and even has a deeper foundation.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! However, the residents on the street with fish heads and tails are very unaccustomed to Sarlayan. Combined with the buildings on both sides of the street that have a strong upper elf style, Sarlayan
I always feel there is an inexplicable sense of absurdity.
"Naga...?"
Vashchi, who was walking in front, heard Sarlayan's unexplained exclamation, turned around in confusion and asked: "What's wrong with Naga?"
Sarlayan pondered for a moment with a complicated expression on his face: "Ms. Vashj, have you ever thought about getting rid of this... novel appearance and transforming back into a night elf?"
Vashchi's face changed slightly, and her eyes looking at Sarlayan became a little deeper.
"How could you not have thought about it? Do you think we are willing to turn into this ugly posture?"
Having said this, Vashqi sighed softly.
"You should also know that due to the ancient war that tore apart the ancient continent of Kalimdor thousands of years ago, there is no place for us in Azeroth today."
"In order to save those people who fell into the water, the Queen had no choice but to make an agreement with N'Zoth. He blessed our compatriots and gave us the ability to survive underwater."
"N'zoth obviously included private goods in this 'blessing'. It turned us into ugly monsters that are incompatible with land creatures, in an attempt to cut off the possibility of us returning to land and integrating into the new world."
Vashj was silent for a few seconds before speaking again: "I have always dreamed of turning back into a night elf, but regardless of whether I can do it or not, now is not the right time to consider it."
"Before we find a safe escape route, we still need to preserve this Naga body that can move freely underwater."
'Is there a way out...'
Sarlayan nodded thoughtfully: "Sorry, I made you sad."
Wasiqi smiled and shook his head: "It's nothing. After so many years, we have long been accustomed to our ugly appearance."
[Can you really get used to it? Most women are naturally attracted to beauty, and no normal woman would willingly accept that she becomes an ugly monster. 】
[Even though this was a compromise made in order to survive. 】
Sarlayan calmly said to the barrage in his heart: "I probably have some ideas. I don't know if I have guessed Queen Azshara's thoughts. I will reserve my opinions for now."
[It’s bad, Xiao Sa has become the Riddler. 】
【The Riddler gets out of Azeroth!】
Sarlayan: "...That's enough for you. The results will be available tomorrow at the latest. Why are you in such a hurry?"
