History

Originally, the whole of Azeroth was one continent named Kalimdor, with the Well of Eternity located near the center. At the conclusion of the events of the War of the Ancients, the original Well of Eternity exploded as a result of a magical overload, splitting the continent into three major new continents - Kalimdor, representing the western region, Eastern Kingdoms, representing the eastern region, and Northrend, representing the northern region. Many smaller islands were also produced, including Kezan and the Shattered Isles, located near the old Well of Eternity and the Maelstrom it produced.
