The Nighthold (previously called "Suramar Palace") is a raid introduced with World of Warcraft: Legion. It is the home of the Nightborn and contains the Nightwell, the source of their magical power. It is expected to have 10 bosses and will feature the final fight players have with Gul'dan. The Eye of Aman'thul is here.

The Grand Magistrix of the Nightborn resides here, watching over everything within Suramar. One of the corrupted Pillars of Creation is here.

Players work their way through a back entrance, similar to the Black Temple, and then up through the reaches, atop balconies and tunnels, until they square off against the leader of the Palace and Gul'dan.
