![]() Vashj'ir's location is a tricky one, just because, well, it's on "a new continent".
My doubt with it is that, is the showed location (direct south of the Maelstrom) the final one? Whatever is decided, I don't think it's right to place it there. Why? 1-Zandalar is there. 2-We don't have direct access from the main continents, and once Maelstrom is released, it would be all a mess. Where would I place it then? North. Northwest of the Maelstrom. Why? 1-There's nothing north of the Maelstrom (Lost isles are south of Azshara). 2-Makes sense with Illidan's calling to the naga. 3-Can be included inside Kalimdor's domain. Also, and this just for fun, it gets a place nearer to Northrend, which would have helped with the TFT offensive, and perhaps we can get to know more of Riplash naga and the Kvaldir thanks to the proximity. Opinions?

It's a big sea. |

![]() It's under fucking water. And according to the maps I saw at Blizzcon, it's just south of the maelstrom.

![]() Yeah, that's what I'm meaning. Thanks for picturing it, Rob
![]() Not only the locations makes more sense, but it helps put content in a place where it just doesn't exist. Quote:

![]() Wouldn't that mean it would have to sink on top of it?
On-topic: I would assume there would be other minor Naga cities\towns\villages\outposts around the sea, so it wouldn't be that Illidan called them from half the sea away.

![]() But this is Vashj's city. It only makes sense for her forces to have been stationed here all along, until Illidan called them and they attacked Azshara.

![]() I'm not sure about that. Perhaps Vash'j is a dynasty, not just one character, and while the character we know as "Lady Vash'j" lived in the court of Nazjatar, her family could have ruled, or could continue to rule, Vashj'ir for generations.

![]() Oh. Ok, yeah I can see that. Still, if there's ONE Sunken City, I'd hope we see more sunken cities later.

![]() Is Vashj the first name or surname?

![]() How many times have you heard of someone referred to as "Lady Sally" or "Lord Steve"? I'm pretty damn sure it's a last name- especially when they name a whole city after it- or her family took her name from the city. You don't see a lot of "Bobtowns", do you?

![]() No, but I have seen a Zin'Azshari. There is a Lady Vashj in the WotA novel, and it implies that she is the same one we see in BC, especially since the novels are supposed to be a backstory for many of the characters. She was a trusted retainer of Azshara, and it may not be too much of a stretch to say that whatever is keeping Azshara alive may have affected her closest confidants.

So Vashj and Azshara are their last names, and they both also have a first name? |

![]() It's odd. We know it IS customary for night elves to have last names, and they have always been referred to as "tite+name", though with Queen Azshara it's a little odd since plenty of kings and queens are referred to by their first name, usually because dynasties create a lot of people with the same last name, but seeing as the same person has been on the throne for millenia, I'd wager they're actually last names.

![]() ?
Well, atleast in Sweden there are certain towns called Karlstown (Karl is a firstname and yes, I translated a name to english lol). And im sure you could say both Lord Nelson and Lord Martin. Or King Carl or King Bernadotte. |

However, as for her name, I agree with you. Many people in WarCraft have their last name become more prominent then the first name, one prime example being Lord Lothar, how many times did you see people really call him Anduin? It really could swing either way in the end but I lean on Vashj being her family name. |
