10,000 years ago, it was the lavish capital of the Night Elves, named for their beloved Queen, [[Queen Azshara|Azshara]], built on the banks of the [[Well of Eternity]]. It was within its highest spires that the Highborne set to the task of creating a portal to allow the [[Burning Legion]] to invade, and to prepare for the coming of [[Sargeras]].

'''Cold Weather Flying''' is a spell that is taught by a {{title|Cold Weather Flying Trainer}} for {{cost|500}}. It enables players to use their [[flying mount]]s in [[Northrend]]. Druids too will require this to use their [[Flight Form]]/[[Swift Flight Form]] in [[Northrend]]. Players have to be level 68 or higher to train this ability. Your character only needs to train Cold Weather Flying once; you do not need to re-train if you acquire it before learning Artisan (300) [[riding]].
When the Well of Eternity exploded, the entire city slid deep into the new-formed [[Great Sea]], under the [[Maelstrom]].

[[Flight Master's License]], an ability that is very similar to Cold Weather Flying, is required to fly in [[Kalimdor]] and the [[Eastern Kingdoms]] and was added in [[Patch 4.0.3a]]. It is only purchasable with a valid copy of ''[[World of Warcraft: Cataclysm]]'' and requires Level 60.

:''Somehow, against all odds, Queen Azshara and her [[Highborne]] elite managed to survive the ordeal. Tortured and twisted by the powers they had released, Azshara and her followers were dragged down beneath the raging sea by the Well's implosion. Cursed - transformed - they took on new shapes and became the hateful serpentine [[naga]]. Azshara herself expanded with hate and rage, becoming a massive monstrosity, reflecting the wickedness and malice that had always hidden within her core.''

It seems that the transformation experienced by Azshara and the Highborne was caused by the [[Old Gods]]. Though they remained imprisoned, it seems they were still able to use a small portion of their powers in this way. The city's remains were likely incorperated into [[Nazjatar]].

The cataclysm caused most of the ancient city to crumble to the oceans below. However a cluster of ruins still clings to the eastern cliffs of Azshara, long shunned by night elves. More recently treasure hunters and dwarf exploration teams have made tentative forays into the ruins. They have consistently been repelled by ferocious bands of naga who appear to have claimed the ruins of Zin-Azshari for their own.

''It is strange that ruins of Zin-Azshari would appear on the mainland of Kalimdor, since the city was on the shore of the Well of Eternity, hundreds (if not thousands) of miles away from the modern coast. Though there are hints the city may have been incredibly large and may have stretched hundreds (if not thousands) of miles across the continent.
