The '''Great Sundering''', also known as simply the '''Sundering''' or the '''Cataclysm''',<ref>''[[Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game]]'', 185, 211</ref> was a world event which reshaped [[Azeroth (world)|Azeroth]] approximately 10,000 years ago at the end of the [[War of the Ancients]]. This was caused by the [[Well of Eternity]] exploding, due to it being too weak when [[Sargeras]] tried to enter through a portal fueled by the Well's energies.

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.
