Will this title be available to all characters? I have a Warlock I'm leveling but probably won't be ready in time to get this, but I do have other high level characters who could

To unlock the toy N'lyeth, Sliver of N'Zoth, you will first need to turn War Mode on and become an Alliance Assassin or Horde Assassin by killing 10 players of the opposite faction without dying in Kul Tiras or Zandalar. The moment you reach Assassin, you will be offered a new quest from an unseen presence (presumably N'Zoth himself), requesting you to prove your worth to him by slaying members of your own faction.

There are two versions of this quest: Servant of N'Zoth for Alliance players, and Servant of N'Zoth for Horde players.

By accepting the quest, you will receive N'lyeth, Sliver of N'Zoth, which can be used to transform your character into a Servant of N'Zoth, but be careful - Using the item will damage you by 60% of your maximum health, so make sure you're fully healed before using it! The effect is quite cool, covering your character in tentacles and a void aura. The effect lasts for 1 hour.

The quest requires you to kill 10 of your own faction's members without dying. Dying at any point will automatically fail the quest, and you will need to reach Assassin again to start the quest over.

Completing the quest awards you a toy version of N'lyeth, Sliver of N'Zoth that allows you to become a Shath'yar without requiring reaching Assassin, as well as the Feat of Strength Servant of N'Zoth, which awards the title . According to N'lyeth, Sliver of N'Zoth description, you are able to become a Servant of N'Zoth in Kul Tiras, Zandalar, Uldum and Vale of Eternal Blossoms.

A couple of things I’ve noticed and how I got this achievement done:

Shortly after you kill one or two of your own faction, there is a high probability that you will become bounty hunted. This makes killing people of your own faction difficult since you can’t fly and the opposite faction is chasing you down.

I was bouncing around Nazjatar trying to get it done, but would get overrun when the bounty on me happened.
I tried logging out for a bit to see if bounty would drop, it dropped the bounty, kept assassin, and dropped my quest.
Hearthing or teleporting to other BFA zones seems to also drop the quest.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could kill some of your faction and hide from the prying eyes of bounty hunters? You can!
But I recommend gathering some sacrifices, I mean a few friends, to help.
If you get 4 sacri-, er, friends, you can be done in 21 minutes after accepting your tentacles from N'Zoth.

This is a great week to get the toy because of Call to Arms: Nazjatar.
Why?
Mardivh’s Lab is why. :-D

This place has been a favorite spot to hide while trolling. It’s also a perfect spot to hang out and bathe in your tentacly glory while you’re a bounty.

So. While you’re waiting here, invite 4 friends over to the mouth of the cave. I was able to invite them to group to make sure they were in the same shard as of today. Once they are there, have them take off all their gear, pop out of the cave for a few seconds, mow them all down with focusing iris, and make your way back to the safety of Mardivh’s lab.

Your buddies will have a 10 minute debuff not allowing their deaths to count towards your progress. They can put their gear back on and fly off to do other stuff and come back in 10 minutes for more laser to the face. Some will try to find you in the cave, but it’s been my experience that people chasing your bounty will just fly away, because they realize you’re trolling them in the cave. When your buddies come back, have them tell you when the coast is clear and mow them down again.

Repeat the process three times and you're done. This should take a little over 20 minutes after you use the sliver. Make sure you're at 100% HP before using it!
Join me and fight for N’Zoth! <3

UPDATE: I've been reading other comments that say their quest item kills them. This leads me to believe that the Sliver of N'Zoth's damage effect can CRIT!
I noticed it hurting more than it should while trying to do the quest and didn't really put much thought into it. Sometimes it would chunk me down to about 15-20% health, but would never kill me. Even now that I have the toy it will chunk me every once in a while.

The only reason I think I have been surviving every time it crits is because my WPVP set has ~12% versatility. I highly suggest using a defensive or having a decent amount of versatility when you use the quest item/toy. Keep in mind that it is shadow damage.

This title is indeed account wide, unlike the Alliance/Horde slayer titles.

Anyone tried to use trial chars for the kills?

When my group and I did the quest in Vale of Eternal Blossoms we found that a good place to prey on players and also hide for when you got the bounty buff is the cave between the two big statues in the middle (entrance at about 57 40). Many players pass through there in a pretty short time and most of them also are alone, so no big groups you have to handle and thus little risk for you to fail the quest. It may even be soloable there but I can't guarantee this since I did the quest with a full group.
Another advantage is the location being underground and with that the impossibility of being seen or attacked from above. Also it's easy to predict where enemy players might come from because the cave only goes two directions.
Besides that, my other advice would be to bring a lot of patience. You may need a while to find enough players to complete the quest and also might die a few times before succeeding. Trying it with a group also is a good idea since when you use the item you get from the quest you will become hostile to everyone, so be aware that once you embrace the dark powers daddy N'Zoth offers you, you not only have to fight against players of your own faction but from the other still too.
To speed up the process we also tried asking around in general chat and our guilds and communities if there are any volunteers. We actually found a good few who were willing to help out and one of them even stayed so we could kill them every ten minutes after the debuff has worn out. It definitely is worth keeping one or two people just to kill to get the kill count up quickly since you only have an hour to complete the quest. But be careful in case you have to invite your friends because they're on another realm, as far as I know the quest can't be completed in a Raid group.

Good luck!

In case anyone was curious, both the title and the toy are account wide. So you really only need to do this on one character, unlike Alliance/Horde Slayer.

Druid and DK solo during Nazjatar week.
Fury of Elune can be cast in flight form. Fly over the raids doing their Call To Arms: Nazjatar and tag the players.
Raise Abomination is still active while you are on your mount. Summon abomination and fly over the raid to tag players.

EDIT: Do NOT try this anymore. Several people have reported that it no longer works and you automatically fail if you die at any point.

You can avoid getting bounty hunted by killing yourself after you get the quest (but before you actually use the Sliver).

By killing yourself, you reset your Assassin status and avoid getting bounty hunted. And since you die before actually using the Sliver, it does not affect the quest. If you then kill 10 members of your own faction (without killing the opposite faction), there is zero chance of getting bounty hunted.

Not being bounty hunted makes this quest much easier, as you can just fly around and gank isolated low-geared players of your faction without much risk of dying.

This quest seems to be either bugged, or removed.

I tested in Zuldazar today with a level 55 Paladin as the killer on Horde side, and a level 50 Priest victim on Alliance side.

I received Horde Assassin debuff fine, and earned The Alliance Slayer fine.

This quest was never offered to me throughout. So, until we get word from Blizz, I would consider this quest and achievement to be unavailable.
