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 [71, 29] 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.
History
Adventure Guide
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.
Description
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.[1]
Legion
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.
Geography
The Throne of the Tides is located at the Abyssal Breach within the Abyssal Depths of Vashj'ir. Swimming towards the vast whirlpool will cause the player character be sucked in and dropped in front of the entrance.

Notes
- 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 
[30-35D] 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.
- In the revamped version from Dragonflight, available in Mythic and Timewalking difficulties, this abduction does not happen.
