Questionmark-medium
This article or section includes speculation, observations or opinions possibly supported by lore or by Blizzard officials. It should not be taken as representing official lore.

The Emerald Dream

Based on the whispers' explicit descriptions of the city it is possible that Ny'alotha is located within the Emerald Nightmare, but may have originated from somewhere on the world of Azeroth. Other whispers imply that it could be within a forest or sunken beneath the sea.

Forest

Ny'alotha may be hidden in a forest, based on the mysterious whisper, The silent, sleeping, staring houses in the backwoods always dream... It would be merciful to tear them down... A few more whispers mention dark woods, including one that may indicate the presence of an old god: The giant rook watches from the dead trees. Nothing breathes beneath his shadow.

Beneath the sea

It may also be one of the sunken cities similar to Vashj'ir and under control of Naga and Queen Azshara, hence the : city of old, terrible, unnumbered crimes.... Many things that rest under the ocean's surface are called "sleeping". This speculation is supported by the whisper At the bottom of the ocean even light must die... Another puzzle box whisper states, In the sunken city, he lays dreaming..., suggesting that if Ny'alotha is indeed sunken, a creature there lies dormant. It may even be an old god: The drowned god's heart is black ice...

Inspiration

The name Ny'alotha may be derived from Nyarlathotep of H.P. Lovecraft's Cthulhu Mythos. The quotes themselves and the description of an eldritch city, however, is a reference to R'lyeh, the underwater city where Cthulhu slept, dreaming.
