The unwaking[1] is the term used when someone or something in the Emerald Dream is affected by the Nightmare.
In Orgrimmar, Thrall was among the first to become unwaking.[2] Everyone on Azeroth who had become an unwaking was freed when the Nightmare Lord was defeated.
In the RPG[]
It means that they are trapped in the Emerald Dream and their bodies are forced into a permanent sleep; they die of starvation unless carefully aided.[3]
Notes[]
- Prior to the events of the Stormrage novel, Malfurion Stormrage appeared to be an unwaking, as he was trapped in the Emerald Dream by the effect of the nightmare,[4] as was Naralex in the Wailing Caverns.[5]
