Throne of the Tides

Throne of the Tides (or the Throne of Tides) is a five-player dungeon in the Abyssal Maw which is entered through the Abyssal Breach located in Vashj'ir, introduced in World of Warcraft: Cataclysm.

The Throne of the Tides' entrance can be found at beneath the Abyssal Breach of the Abyssal Depths in Vashj'ir. Swimming into the watery cyclone will suffice entrance to the Abyssal Maw nexus where Throne of the Tides and the unreleased Abyssal Maw dungeon can be found.

''Deep within the Abyssal Maw's fathomless expanses lies the Throne of the Tides. From here, the great elemental lord Neptulon the Tidehunter has surveyed and protected his aquatic domain for ages. He now faces his greatest challenge as a force of serpentine naga and malefic faceless ones threaten to depose him, leaving his realm and its secrets ripe for the plundering.''

It seems preposterous to think that even the armies of the naga would challenge a demigod on his home plane - and, yet, they are winning. Instead of cowering before Neptulon, the naga have brought forth a gigantic ally to hobble the Tidehunter...one who holds the entire Throne of the Tides in its grasp. If their siege isn't broken, Neptulon will fall - and the naga will rise in his place as the new lords of Azeroth's oceans.

Erunak Stonespeaker returns to the Throne of the Tides with a shaman hero in search of Sharas'dal, Scepter of Tides after his friend Wavespeaker Adelee went missing there while looking for it. The naga, still within the Throne of the Tides, were torturing a sea giant named Grash which was promptly freed, who informed them that a naga named Lady Zithreen is using the Scepter to control the sea giants, makrura, and other residents of the seas. Erunak demands to know from Zithreen what Azshara's plans were for the Abyssal Maw during the events in Vashj'ir, but Zithreen does not tell him and Grash kills her.

The Throne of the Tides is located at the Abyssal Breach within the Abyssal Depths of Vashj'ir. Swim towards the vast whirlpool to be sucked in and dropped into the entrance. It is kinda hard to miss a giant whirlpool, especially since it dominates the entire zone.

Rescue the Earthspeaker! and Sins of the Sea Witch may only be done after Defending the Rift has been completed.

• An archaeologist with a skill of at least 425 can use a Highborne Scroll at a clam statue at the beginning to grant the group Waters of Elune, increasing damage done to humanoids by 10% while in the zone.
• The Throne of the Tides ends with a vague (and hard to see) cliffhanger where Ozumat kidnaps Neptulon. This storyline was planned to be continued in the dropped Abyssal Maw instance.
• Ultimately, the cliffhanger was resolved off-screen, with Neptulon eventually freeing himself.
