Hearthstone today unveiled the first expansion pack of the year, The Quest for the Sunken City, introducing a new companion type, the Naga. Speaking of Nagas, one has to mention the first person of the Naga race: Queen Isara.
Early life stories
Twelve thousand years ago, in front of the Black Gate, a night elf named Isara was born on the ancient continent of Kalimdor. She was born with golden eyes, which is very rare among the Night Elves. For the Night Elves of the time, golden eyes meant a great future. As she grew older, Aisara's beauty became more and more attractive, but in addition to her beauty, she also had a magical talent that was different from ordinary people. As the sole heir to the throne of the Night Elf Empire, Aisara was fascinated by the Well of Eternity, the source of the Empire's power.
Isara's coronation ceremony lasted for several days, and many upper-class elves offered her gifts to please the queen, but her favorite gift came from a nobleman named Harvis. Harveys offered a jeweled scepter with many magic runes engraved on it. He promised Isara that as long as she kept the scepter with her, he would bring her wealth and great power. As time passed, Aisara grew younger and younger, always surrounded by a dazzling light that fascinated anyone who saw her.
Under her rule, the Night Elf Empire entered a period of glory. Many expeditions explored areas beyond the Empire in the name of the Queen, expanding the Empire's territory. The cities of Eresaras, Sundara, and Edaras were established during this period. To further study the Well of Eternity, Isara ordered the construction of a magnificent palace on the shore. In order to please Aisara, the nobles proposed to rename the imperial capital in honor of the queen, and Aisara gladly accepted. After intense discussion, the city was finally named Sim-Isalie, which means "Glory of Isara".
However, there is one place that Aisara can't avoid: Mount Hygar, the home of the god of the wilderness. Disturbed by these gods of the wilderness and their wild homeland, Aisara, under the pretext of respecting the Night Elves' relationship with the forest, publicly ordered that any Night Elves be forbidden to extend the territory to Hygar, but in fact she despised the harmony between the mountain and its representatives.
Battle of the Ancients
One day, Havis, who had become the Queen's adviser, spoke to Isara, using the power of the Well of Eternity to purge the other lower races and create a perfect world. Their use of the power of the Well of Eternity attracted an observer: Sagras. In order to release the Burning Legion to Azeroth, the Dark Titans captivated Havis, followed by most of the upper elves, and finally Aisala. Havis helped Isala communicate with Sagras, and Isara's vision became Sagras's breakthrough. Under the Dark Titan's plan, a portal connecting the Twisted Void with Cien-Isalie opens in Isara's palace, the Burning Legion sets foot on Azeroth for the first time, and the War of the Elders begins.
The Burning Legion, led by The Dog King Haka and Manolos, swept through Sim-Isali mercilessly and then turned to Surama. Standing on the high walls of the palace, Aisara watched all this calmly, believing that the death of the people was the price that must be paid to shape a perfect future.
In Asuna, far from Sim-Isali, Prince Farodis believes that to protect the Night Elves, he must destroy the Well of Eternity, and that the Gogonese Tidal Stone he holds will help him achieve his goals. However, Farodis' subordinate advisor Vandos informed Aisala, and an enraged Aisala quickly punished Farodis. After a terrifying torrent of arcane magic, the Tidal Stones are destroyed, the land of Asuna shatters under the magic of darkness, and Farodis and the people he is trying to protect become wandering spirits, forever bound to the land.
Fortunately, not all upper-class elves have fallen into darkness. Led by Kutalus Ravenkes, lord of The Black Crow Castle, the Night Elves formed a resistance army, with the help of bear monsters, Minotaurs, demigods, dragons, and even future visitors— Ronin, Crassus, and Blox. Druid Marfario Fury Wind and younger brother Illidan Fury Wind used the Dragon Artifact Demon Soul to reverse the energy of the Eternal Well Portal, sucking all the demons on Kalimdor back into the twisted void, but the strong fluctuations in the portal's energy caused it to devour not only the Eternal Well itself, but also everything on the shore, including The Palace of Isara.
Birth of the Naga
The raging tide poured in, and Aisara, who knew that Sagras was no longer able to arrive, chanted a spell and built a magical barrier around the palace. Although the tide was blocked out, the pressure on the magic barrier was getting stronger and stronger, and Aisara's strength was gradually weakened. At this moment, a whisper came from the darkness, and Enzos promised to give her strength and help her escape. Aisara knew she couldn't hold on any longer, so she nodded in agreement.
However, this "blessing" is extremely painful. Aisara felt a sharp pain coming from her body, her limbs twisted and twisted, and her back turned into liquid, as if it had suddenly melted. Under the influence of Enzos's power, Isara became a human-faced snake-like monster, never to be in the same way as before. The upper elves who loyally followed her were also distorted by the darkness of the ancient gods and turned into serpentine monsters like their queen. Aisara led the Naga to build their empire in the deep sea, taking the ruins of the former Sim-Isari as its capital and naming it Nashtal.
Cataclysm
Ten thousand years later, the Cataclysm caused by the Deathwing gave Aisala a chance to regain world domination. Isara sent Naga to attack the Night Elves on the Black Coast, and he himself appeared in Nadsville, intending to divert Marfario's attention from Mount Haigar, but his plan was foiled.
Afterwards, Esara was ordered by Enzos to destroy the Water Elemental Lord Neptune in revenge for Neptune's disobedience to the Orders of the Elder Gods. To this end, Isara assigned the sea witch Varischi to lead the Slippery Blade Clan to the Bleak Lands in search of the ancient Neptune Slab, an item that would allow her to enter the Throat of the Abyss on the Surface of the Water Element. With the combined efforts of Lord Hydronis of the Water Element and the Adventurers, Varischi was killed and Isara's plan failed again.
The Legion is here again
Despite destroying the Tidal Stone ten thousand years ago, the power of the Pillar of Creation remains. Aisara sent a Naga force led by Azissa, the mother of the Grievance Tides, and the Overseer Pajesh, to Asuna to retrieve the Tidal Stones for his own use. Under the cover of Athisa, Pajesh brought the retrieved Tidal Stone to the Eye of Aesara, south of the Shattered Islands, and used its power to evoke a terrible creature: the Wrath of Isara. However, the adventurers entrusted by Prince Farodis then pursued him, knocking down the Wrath of Isara and retaking the Tidal Stone, handing it over to The Kadega, the leader of Kenrito.
As the Allies storm the Tomb of Sagras, the soul of the Guardian Egwen appears, informing the crowd of the need to seal the portal opened by the Burning Legion with the Pillar of Creation. Knowing that the Tidal Stone had been sent to the Tomb of Sagras, Aisara struck again, sending a team led by the master mother Saslin and the behemoth Hayathan to capture it. But in the presence of the allied forces intent on guarding Azeroth, the team, along with the other Burning Legion demons, was beheaded deep in the tomb of Sagras.
Battle for Azeroth
Aisara did not stop her plans to return to the position of ruler of the world, this time she aimed at the sea kingdom of Kurtiras. With the help of the ancient gods, Isara corrupted most of the Sea Tide Sages and their leader, Lord Stowon, in an attempt to control the entire fleet of Kurtiras. She also cooperated with the Ashfan family, one of the four major families of Kurtilas, in exchange for giving Ms. Priscilla Ashfan the status of Naga force and providing her with "protection".
After stealing the Tidal Stone from the unattended Tomb of Sagras, the Nagas under Isara launched an attack on both the Confederates and the Tribes along the shores of the Endless Sea. Meanwhile, Enzos handed Saratas into Sylvanas, who then sent Nathanos with the Withers to the place of his prophecy with a dagger. Upon hearing the news, the Alliance also sent a fleet in pursuit, and the two sides sailed all the way to the sea above Nasht.
Sensing Saratas, Aysara placed the Tidal Stone and used its power to separate the sea, and the fleets of the Confederate tribes fell to the reappearance of Nashthar. After allying themselves with the local Swordfishmen, Haitians, Sea Giants, etc., the Alliance tribes face The Mockery of Isara while searching for the Tidal Stone. After killing Naga, who guards the Tidal Stone, and seizing the Surama Javelin, the seal of the Pillar of Genesis is broken, and Gianna and Talisa use the Tidal Stone to open the portal to the Eternal Palace of Isara's Lair.
Isara waited in the Ring of Stars for the attacking Confederate tribal army, where the Titan facility was the final seal of Enzo's cage. Facing the Coalition, Isara revealed her plan: manipulate Magny to strengthen the Heart of Azeroth on both sides, and let the people who hold the enhanced artifact come here to help her unseal Enzos, and then begin to absorb the power of the Heart of Azeroth. Realizing that they had been deceived, Talisa and Gianna found that they could not escape, so they attacked Isara in despair, knocking her down while she focused on the ritual. But Aisara unsealed before he lost consciousness, and with the collapse of the Titan facilities, Enzos was free. A tentacle flew out of the abyss, dragging a regained consciousness and terrified Isara into the darkness below.
With the help of the Black Dragon Prince Rashio, the adventurers venture deep into the Dark Empire's territory of Neo Rosa, only to find that Isara is also here, tortured by Enzos' Dark Inquisitor Xanas. Aesara, who recognized the adventurer, asked to be freed and said she had the only way to defeat Enzos. After rescuing Isara, she removed Saratas, who was hiding on her body, saying that if it were not for the Alliance tribes interfering with her plans, she would have used the dagger to insert Enzos's heart. Isara then handed the dagger to Rasio and warned him that if he did not kill Enzo's first blow, they would never again have a chance to attack. Aisara then disappeared through a void portal, and no one knew where she had gone.
