Lore[edit | edit source]

This spell represents one of Karazhan's many "precisely calibrated portals attuned to a variety of exotic locales" - in this case, the Maelstrom, the former location of the Well of Eternity before it was destroyed in the Great Sundering. During the Black Empire, it was also the location of Y'Shaarj, the most powerful of the Old Gods.

The portal itself is found at the top level of the tower, which also features as the fifth wing in One Night in Karazhan - The Spire.[1]

In World of Warcraft

The Maelstrom Portal in World of Warcraft

Following  Deathwing's reemergence into Azeroth, heroes of the Alliance and the Horde travelled to the Maelstrom to assist  Thrall in attempting to seal the rift between Deepholm and Azeroth. A portal to the Maelstrom was briefly to be found in the capital cities; after journeying to Deepholm the portals were redirected there.

The Maelstrom

Warcraft Wiki icon.pngThis section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.
The Maelstrom is the gigantic rift that was created when the Well of Eternity collapsed into itself during the Great Sundering. Located in the middle of the Great Sea - which the Great Sundering created - the Maelstrom appears as a massive, fierce vortex of water.
