Dissolution Period

The Dissolution Period saw the collapse of the Arathorian Empire and the rise of the Seven Kingdoms as fully independent states in their own right. It is marked by extreme political turmoil and a number of bloody conflicts between the nascent Kingdoms, the crumbling Empire, and humanity's neighbours. There is some overlap with the beginning of the Warring Kingdoms Period - the War for Stormwind's Independence marks the end of the Dissolution Period and the 'proper' beginning of the Warring Kingdoms era.
