- the description of Mindflayer Kaahrj in the Violet Hold: "... ensared as it lapsed into a catatonic state after the defeat of Yogg-Saron. Since Dalaran arrived at the Broken Isles, the monstrosity has mysteriously awakened...";
- whisper of Xal'atath in Azsuna: "The Legion burrows deep here. If they burrow deeper, they may not like what they find.";
- some BfA relative content (if you just look on the map you will see, that BfA locations with old god's related content - Nazmir and Drustvar border with the ocean region where I expect N'zoth prison to be).
Concerning: "Five keys to open the way. Five torches to light our path". It seems to me that we have to split this prophecy in two parts as it is written. Keys are the pillars of creation. Who told us to find them and to bring them together? Magni, who is: "The king of diamonds has been made a pawn". By fulfilling his words we, possibly, using titans' creation artifacts helpend N'zoth to get rid of his prison.
What is five torhes? World trees doesn't seem to fit as there are only four of them in Azeroth. Characters like Jaina, Sylvanas, Genn Greymane, who will "burn" during the war could be those torches. But to me it seems more possible that war events, like The Burning of Teldrassil and Battle for Undercity are torches, which will mark the reign of N'zoth.
