Emerald Dream
Based on the whispers' explicit descriptions of the city In the land of Ny'alotha there is only sleep... it is possible that Ny'alotha is located within the Emerald Nightmare, but may have originated from somewhere on the world of Azeroth.
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: {{Text|Whisper|The giant rook watches from the dead trees. Nothing breathes beneath his shadow.} <-This could also mean Karazhan}
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. Notably, one of the quotes ("city of old, terrible, unnumbered crimes") is similar to a line from the short story Nyarlathotep. It may also be a reference to R'lyeh, the underwater city where Cthulhu slept, dreaming.
