Ny'alotha, the Sleeping City, has awakened. Under N'Zoth's command, the armies of the Black Empire threaten to engulf the world and reshape it according to their master's vision. Only one hope remains: using the repaired titan forges to eradicate the Corruptor once and for all.

Trivia

• The Waking City has multiple similarities to the Temple of Ahn'Qiraj. Aside from Ny'alotha and Ahn'Qiraj having similar architecture, both raids also feature anubisath trash mobs that reflect certain magic types (Anubisath Sentinels/Anubisath Sentinels), an insectoid prophet who creates copies of himself (the Prophet Skeram/the Prophet Skitra), a council fight against the dual leaders of an insectoid race (Twin Emperors/the Hivemind), and a final battle against an Old God (C'Thun/N'Zoth).
• While this raid was originally announced as "Ny'alotha, the Waking City", it was initially called only Ny'alotha in early PTR builds.
• On the patch 8.3 PTR, the raid's Adventure Guide entry originally read: Ny'alotha, the sleeping city, has awakened. For the first time in millennia, N'Zoth sits on his throne within the Black Empire. His armies flood from their dark halls, once again wreaking havoc on Azeroth. As the world shudders from these invasions, a desperate plan is hatched. Champions from the Horde and Alliance are gathered to face this ancient enemy within his own realm for one final confrontation that will decide the fate of the universe.
