The naga hearts became as black as the deepest ocean trenches, and hate enveloped their thoughts. As soon as she agreed, Azshara became the first naga - a cursed and irrevocably warped scaly, serptentine, water-breathing creature. ![]() As the waters swallowed them into fathomless depths of the Maelstrom, Azshara's quick thinking saved them: she managed to make a pact with the Old God N'Zoth, swearing allegiance to it in order to survive.

This added magical stress was too great for the Well of Eternity, which imploded with disastrous consequences. The other night elves, together with many unlikely allies rallied in the Kaldorei Resistance, put up a surprising defense, and managed to close the portal. Death and devastation followed the demonic army as it spread outward. Demons poured from the queen's jeweled palace and laid waste to most of the city. The Highborne's efforts brought about the first invasion of the Burning Legion, but the ensuing War of the Ancients seemed to do the opposite of what Sargeras had promised. At Sargeras' command, the Highborne created a portal in the Well in the hope that Sargeras would be able to enter Azeroth himself. ![]() He promised the Highborne that he would remake the planet Azeroth into a paradise, and that they would be rewarded with great power for serving him. These privileged nobles became obsessed with the Well of Eternity and abused its arcane magics until their activities caught the attention of Sargeras, the dark titan.

They have since stayed out of major world affairs for over 10,000 years, until the Third War, when they have been rising up to the surface for nefarious purposes. ![]() Since their transformation, they haunted the seas of Azeroth, building a great civilization on the ocean floor in the name of their queen. ![]() Following the War of the Ancients, and the Great Sundering caused by the destruction of the Well of Eternity, they were transformed into naga by the Old God N'Zoth after Azshara pledged herself to his cause, dedicating her people to become his army and recreate the Black Empire on Azeroth.
