Sinuous figures drift and twist along the passageways, their elven origins difficult to discern. Pagodas and balconies line the deep trenches, glimmering lights picking out the shapes of cities in the cold black. For 10,000 years, these elves of the abyss dwelt in a dark and powerful empire. Azshara herself expanded with hate and rage, becoming a massive monstrosity, reflecting the wickedness and malice that had always hidden within her core. When the naga awakened, they set about building a new life for themselves on the ocean depths, and within the abyssal sea trench beneath the swirling waters of the Maelstrom they built their new city, Nazjatar. Their men and women diverged in appearance, physicality and mindset. They were cursed and became the naga, serpentlike, water-breathing creatures. It was Azshara's quick thinking that saved them: she managed to make a pact with the Old Gods, swearing loyalty to them to survive.

Azshara and many of her kaldorei followers sank to the seaﬂoor with their city. The Maelstrom, a large and violent magical storm that rages over the ocean, formed above the ocean at this location. The land around the destroyed Well of Eternity and most of Zin-Azshari blasted downward, to the bottom of the inrushing seas, to smash into the ocean ﬂoor. Thousands perished, and the kaldorei lands were devastated. The land split apart to become the continents and islands as we now know them. The resulting catastrophe was the Sundering. Finally, the young druid Malfurion Stormrage, with the help of many powerful allies, caused the Well of Eternity to implode. What followed was the War of the Ancients, a momentous time in which infernals crashed through forests, demigods clashed with demon lords, and kaldorei fought kaldorei. This abuse attracted the attention of Sargeras, master of the Burning Legion after Sargeras contacted the Highborne, they worked to summon the demons into the world and eventually, they succeeded. Azshara and her followers - called the Highborne - turned their society's interest in arcane magic into an obsession, growing ever more arrogant and casting ever more powerful spells. Azshara was the most powerful mage in the world and had a cadre of loyal arcanists about her Azshara was so loved by the kaldorei that their capital was rechristened in her honor at the demands of the populace. Eventually a great kaldorei queen, Azshara, came to prominence.

Arcane magic is dangerous, however, and frequent use leads to a desire for more. The kaldorei learned to tap into the magical energies of the well, and thus their ﬁrst arcanists came to be.

10,000 years ago the Well of Eternity was the source of all arcane magic in the world, which at that point consisted of a single landmass called Kalimdor.
