The palace rested on a cliff overlooking the [[Well of Eternity]]. When first the vast, walled edifice had been constructed, using magic that melded both stone and forest into a single, cohesive form, it had been a wonder to touch the heart of any who saw it. Its towers were trees strengthened by rock, with jutting spires and high, open windows. The walls were volcanic stone raised up, then bound tightly by draping vines and giant roots. The main palace at the center had originally by the mystical binding of more than a hundred giant, ancient trees. Bent in together, they had formed the skeleton of the rounded center, over which the stone and vines had been set.<ref>''[[The Well of Eternity]]'', page 1</ref>

I've enchanted the blade, but you'll have to take it to a place where we know its owner was. I want you to travel back to the site where you found it and use the blade.

*It was destroyed in the [[Great Sundering]], but Queen Azshara ordered a palace built in [[Nazjatar]] to rival her old home.<ref>''[[Alliance & Horde Compendium]]'', pages 72-73</ref> The so-called "[[Dragon Isles]]" may be this new palace.
  
−
*Though it had a prominent role in the [[War of the Ancients Trilogy]], the palace was never given a proper name. Instead, it was usually just called "the palace", or the like. ''[[Shadows & Light]]'' calls it the "Eternal Palace".<ref>''[[Shadows & Light]]'', pages 64, 65, 75, 169</ref>
  
−
*While the War of the Ancients Trilogy described the palace as being in [[Zin-Azshari]], ''Shadows & Light'' describes it as being in [[Suramar]]. However, this point may not be an error, as the cities (or their outskirts) may have connected. For more info on this see [[Suramar#Speculation|this section]].
  
−
*Both the [[History of Warcraft]], (found in the Warcraft III manual, in-game, and on the official site) and ''Shadows & Light'' call the palace the alternate name of Azshara's temple/the Eternal Temple. The reasoning for the shift in the name in both sources is unknown. The War of the Ancients Trilogy does not appear to use this name.

The way you explain it, it sounds like the naga forces are in far greater scope than the Admiral could possibly have realized. We might be able to learn more through the blade if we can find other locations where this Battlemaiden was present, but the information you gave me makes me fear for the Admiral and his soldiers.

Objectives

Use the Blade of the Naz'jar Battlemaiden at the battle site towards the southern end of the gardens.

  • Attune With the Broken Blade's Owner

Provided item: Inv weapon halberd 12 [Blade of the Naz'jar Battlemaiden]

Description

The shard you recovered looks to be of naga origin. I had hoped to find a strong focal object like this for a spell I've been working on that would allow us to glimpse into the recent past.

I've enchanted the blade, but you'll have to take it to a place where we know its owner was. I want you to travel back to the site where you found it and use the blade.

Perhaps we can uncover more behind what the naga are doing here. Or even better, maybe we'll uncover a weakness that will give us a better chance.

Rewards

You will be able to choose one of these rewards
Inv belt cloth cataclysm b 01 [Wound-Binding Girdle] Inv chest mail 21 [Chestguard of the Naz'jar]
Inv misc orb 01 [Wavespeaker's Focus]

You will also receive: 31g 20s

Progress

That took longer than expected. Did you learn anything useful? Who did the blade belong to?

Completion

A Battlemaiden? I never have heard of such a thing.

The way you explain it, it sounds like the naga forces are in far greater scope than the Admiral could possibly have realized. We might be able to learn more through the blade if we can find other locations where this Battlemaiden was present, but the information you gave me makes me fear for the Admiral and his soldiers. We must warn them.

Notes

Head back southwest to the southern ruins where the skull is, at [40.5, 75.4]VZ-Shimmering ExpanseBlip. A bright glowing ball, the Vision of the Battlemaiden, now appears over the skull. Additionally, there is a vision of the NPCs in the area, ghosts of naga and corpses of kvaldir. Using the item puts players in the shoes of the Naz'jar Battlemaiden. She is offered the quest Reoccupation, which starts a quest chain involving her. See that article for more information. Upon the completion of Not Soon Forgotten, players are brought back to where they entered the vision, where the wavespeaker awaits.

Upon use of the Blade of the Naz'jar Battlemaiden, at the beginning of the vision, there is a short cutscene:

Fathom-Stalker Azjentus says: I could hear the sound of your trident breaking from the gardens! The skulls of these Kvaldir are as strong as rock.
Naz'jar Battlemaiden says: A single prong. Hardly enough to stop me from slaughtering hundreds more.
Fathom-Stalker Azjentus says: Indeed. I doubt much would.

When awakening from the vision:

Wavespeaker Valoren says: Welcome back, <name>. That took longer than expected. Learn anything useful?
