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

From Wowpedia:

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.
