    Perhaps the numerous crimes are the naga experimenting on Neptulon and twisting life into new forms using N'zoth's corruption. We know N'Zoth appears to be able to change beings at will (highbourne into Naga at a whim)

    I hope they at least increase the loot radius in underwater zones, so you can loot a corpse if you're at least within 10 yards of it, or something, that's the biggest pain in the ass of being underwater; looting.

    Also, voted zone, or city.

    I think N'zoth is all but confirmed as the underwater God though, if a 5th exists I think it'll be under STV to Karazhan

    Given their response to Vash'jir I get the feeling if it is underwater it'll be grounded similar to an on land zone as opposed to swimming

    A single, optional water zone and it's some gigantic deal? Unless you have a severe phobia of deep water that's more than a bit irrational. I'm tired of yellow grass, I hope we never see anything similar to Westfall again.

    So far so good. But don't stop here. So N'zoth is a huge sentient area like Zonama Sekot the living planet of the Star Wars EU.
    But what exactly is he(she?) Sentient City? Sentient Forest? Huge chunk of Sentient Land?

    My guess that its where you go when you die, you know in wow universe.

    It is also where all hardcore characters from diablo 2 and diablo 3 go, when they die So the place is pretty filled up.

    It is also where we will see illidan again.

    Atleast i think so ^^

    My two best guesses:

    Ny'alotha is the new name for Nazjatar, the Naga home city built around the Maelstrom. It WAS surrounded by a forest in its pre-sunken state

    Ny'alotha is a trippy Old God city built by the faceless, most likely housing N'zoth. The Forest could be... I dunno, N'zoth's tentacles, or spires of stone, or some other twisted weird stuff. Maybe underground trees.

    Ny'Alotha is a corrupted Titan facility which was created to hold N'Zoth. Ny'Alotha was originally under the Well of Eternity, deep in the earth. Being so close to the center of power of the world, N'Zoth was able to corrupt Deathwing, and persuaded Azshara to join his ranks as naga. He orchestrated the Sundering to escape his prison. While the Sundering sunk most of Kalimdor, it damaged the Titan facility containing him like Yogg-Saron. We will visit (Ul)alotha and fight the Naga, Faceless Ones, free Neptulon, kill Azshara, and defeat N'Zoth all the while containing the Emerald Dream and learning more about the Titans in preparation for WoW 7.0

    Seems to be Old God Central, really. Similarily Lovecraftian, the first thing that springs to mind the Sleeping City beneath Roivas Mansion, in Eternal Darkness; Sanity's Requiem. This is the city of Ehn'gha.

    Looking marvelous in velvet.

    This, this overall story is assumed by most and makes the most sense. Could of course deviate a lot.

    Ny'alotha is most definitely either the city/facility housing N'zoth, or - and I love this idea - it is both an Old God and a city in itself. Lovecraftian ideas are often about shapeless, formless entities that can be many things in our physical realm. In fact, many Old Ones have matching names in his mythos (Nyarlothep - God of a Thousand Forms).

    What if the city itself was a god? Thinking strange unearthly, almost fleshy spires, carapaced walls, intestinal ceilings, tentacled bridges. Pretty nightmarish.

    That so called prediction-guy from 4Chan thinks that Ny'alotha IS the old god N'Zoth. That is ofcourse a possibility too. Unless Blizzard reveals what this Ny'alotha is, we can't be sure at all.

    Eh, I prefer the idea that Ny'alotha is N'Zoth's very own stronghold, no prison whatsoever. As the devs said, the titans couldn't defeat him, so it leaves the possibility that he was quarantined inside. Imprisoned within a titan cell - theme has been used thrice now.
