| − | The '''Great Sundering''', also known as simply the '''Sundering''' or the '''Cataclysm''',{{cite|WRPG|185, 211}} was a world event which reshaped [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] approximately 10,000 years ago at the end of the [[War of the Ancients]]. This event was triggered due to the [[Well of Eternity]] being destroyed. |

| − | Prior to the Sundering, there was only one continent on [[Azeroth]], referred to as Kalimdor. In the catastrophic explosion, eighty percent of the land mass was destroyed,{{cite|W3Man}} leaving behind the major continents and scattered islands that are known today: [[Northrend]], [[Kezan]], the [[Eastern Kingdoms]], and the remnant still referred to as [[Kalimdor]]. |

| − | The concept of a sundering, or a world being reshaped, is a common theme found in fantasy. Tolkien described a reshaping of Arda, and lands lost to the seas in his writings, and the Dragonlance Dungeons and Dragons gameworld underwent the Cataclysm, where seas receded to the point that a coastal port town became landlocked. In David Eddings' Belgariad, the dark God Kal Torak attempted to use a magic orb that had been used to shape the world in anger and split the world in two and mutilated himself, an event similar to the Sundering. |

| − | A blogger discovered <ref>http://supererogatory.tumblr.com/post/133430921/blizzard-entertainment-filed-a-trio-of-trademark</ref> multiple trademarkings belonging to Blizzard under the name Cataclysm. The news has since spread to WOW Insider <ref>http://www.wow.com/2009/07/01/blizzard-files-trademark-for-cataclysm/</ref>, DIGG.com <ref>http://digg.com/pc_games/Blizzard_files_trademark_for_Cataclysm</ref>, and others. Rumors and discussions are leading to a conclusion that this is likely the name for Blizzard's third expansion. |
