The Sundering

The Sundering is a historic event in Azeroth, happening immediately after the implosion of the Well of Eternity and resulting in the shaping of the planet we know today.
==Ancient Azeroth==
In this point in time, Azeroth was a single supercontinent known as Kalimdor---meaning "land of eternal starlight" in Darnassian. Because the Well was the epicenter of the entire landmass, its implosion resulted in the sinking of entire cities---such as Suramar and Zin'Azshari---and the movement of the broken sections.
==Modern Azeroth==
It was not until recent times that the continent of Pandaria was discovered. According to Lorewalker Cho, Emperor Shaohao had enveloped the land in dense mist as a means to protect it from the Sundering itself. While the continent was undoubtedly moved, it is unclear from what section of the Supercontinent it came from.
