Time of Woes
From Warhammer - The Old World - Lexicanum
The Time of Woes was a series of disasters that began in -1500 IC. [1a][2]
Across the world, volcanoes errupt and terrible earthquakes shatter the land. Parts of the Great Bastion collapse, allowing marauding tribes to raid deep into Cathay. The Dwarf holds of the World's Edge Mountains are damaged and communication between them lost - Goblins invade and take control of Karak Ungor. Skavenblight is likewise devastated. At Cripple Peak, Nagash exploits the trembling earth with legions of undead extracing even more warpstone. [1a][2]
The devastation was actually caused by the "realignment of the continents" by Slann Mage Priest Lord Quex.[2]
