Unwaking

Unwaking is the term used when someone or something in the Emerald Dream is affected by the Nightmare. 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.

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, as is Naralex currently in the Wailing Caverns.
