The Rift of Aln is a small area located deep within the Emerald Dream, from which the dreaded Nightmare appears to originate. It is supposedly connected to the Twisting Nether and the Great Dark Beyond.
Gazing into it, Malfurion Stormrage saw it as a bottomless chasm which radiated with primeval energies that even he dared not investigate. Indeed, the very rift itself seemed half-dreamed, for it had a surreal quality to its expanse and to the archdruid now and then seemed to ripple as if ready to fade or change.
Curiously, only then did Malfurion truly sense that the ancient evil, though it fought to keep its grip there, did so from somewhere deep in the depths of Azeroth's own seas.[1]
