Story Mode
Story Mode is an extension of Follower Dungeons, first introduced for Nerub-ar Palace in The War Within. Story Mode is strictly to complete the story involved with the raid, involves a vastly simplified version of the final boss encounter, and awards no loot.
Nerub-ar Palace
To unlock Story Mode for Nerub-ar Palace, players are required to complete the max-level 
[The War Within] campaign on their first character, or just the first chapter for alts. Once unlocked, players are tasked with completing a short quest chain to lead up to the raid:
[80] Our Chance to Strike- [80] The Beginning of the End
- [80] A Spy Like Us
- [80] Defense of the People & [80] Make Them Prey
- [80] A Shot at the Top
- [80R] To Kill a Queen
On the final quest, speak with Kriz the "Loyal" at [31.5, 64.0] near the raid entrance in the City of Threads to enter the raid in Story Mode:
Kriz the "Loyal"
The Vizier sent word that you need to be smuggled into Nerub-ar Palace. Don't worry, he already paid up front.
I'll get you right in. The squeeze is a bit tight and I hope you don't mind a little dirt.
