World of Warcraft: Cataclysm is set on the fictional world of Azeroth five hundred years after the Wrath of the Lich King storyline of the original World of Warcraft game. The gods withdrew from the world in retaliation for mortal incursions into their planes. On Azeroth itself, Blood Elves and the Orcs destroyed much of Darnassus; while the Ogres, Goblins, Orcs, and Giants ravaged The Eastern Kingdoms. Transport and communication to the moon Luclin were cut off.

The storyline says that 100 years ago, the continent of The Eastern Kingdoms was ripped apart into smaller islands, which are now called the Shattered Lands. The oceans became impassible, preventing contact between the continents of Azeroth. Fifteen years ago, the moon Luclin exploded and parts of the Shattered moon remain in the sky.

World of Warcraft: Cataclysm takes place in what is called the Age of Destiny. In this setting, Queen Magni of Ironforge is a benevolent sorceress who welcomes all goodly races to her city to help rebuild Azeroth. The Overlord of Undercity, Uther, a centuries-old fallen paladin, rules the evil races in his plans of conquest.
