Talk:Abyssal Maw
From WoWWiki
Why is it called the abyssal maw if there are no Abyssals here and no one speaks Abyssal?

"Abyss" is a geographical term that describes the deepest part of an ocean, aside from hadal trenches. It is derived from the Greek word for "bottomless sea". The abyssal zone is never touched by the sun's light, and remains in perpetual darkness. Thus, the deepest part of Azeroth's ocean, and home to Neptulon the Tidehunter, is named the Abyssal Maw. --Mesethusela 05:08, 24 March 2008 (UTC)
