Northrend is the cold, ominous home to the evil Lich King. The continent is extremely icy, and there seems to be dark cloud hanging over the area. This is the area where the Icecrown Citadel is located. This is the residence of the evil Lich King. The continent is located in the North. Originally, this area was actually part of Kalimdor. It has been quoted that the continent is referred to as "the roof of the world". Now, it is literally a complete wasteland that broke from Kalimdor due to a break during the Sundering. This is a world event that occurred in World of Warcraft that reshaped the way that Azeroth looks. This occurred after the War of the Ancients, about 10,000 years prior to where we are now.
When the Well of Eternity was destroyed, it actually led to the Cataclysm. Right at about 80% of the general land was destroyed. Now, we are left with just the lands of Kezan, Eastern Kingdoms, Northrend, and Kalimdor. The ever-popular Well of Eternity is now called Maelstrom which is a powerful vortex. Northrend drifted up in the cold waters and rested in the North of all other lands...overtaken by the cold, the snow, the ice...it became the suitable resting place for the ominous Lich King, thousands upon thousands of immense dragons in the area of "The Dragonblight", only they are in the form of skeletons, and the Nerubians. These are men, but are encouraged by the shadows and are in the forms of spiders. Every once in a while, you may run across a human, or maybe even a troll...but this is a rare occurrence.
