Stormwind City

Stormwind is the capital city of the humans of the Alliance. The child king, Anduin Wrynn, resides in Stormwind Keep, surrounded by his body guards and advisors, High Lord Bolvar Fordragon (the regent), and Lady Katrana Prestor.

= History = During the First War, the kingdom of Stormwind, including its capital, Stormwind Keep, was utterly destroyed by the Horde; its survivors fled to Lordaeron. After the orcs were defeated at the Dark Portal at the end of the Second War, it was decided that the city would be rebuilt, even surpassing its former grandeur. The nobles of Stormwind assembled a team of the most skilled and ingenious stonemasons and architects they could find. Under their direction, Stormwind was rebuilt in an amazingly short period of time. Now, at the end of the Third War, it stands as one of the last bastions of human power left in the world.

With the fall of the northern human nations, Stormwind is by far the most populated city in the world. Boasting a population of two-hundred thousand people (predominantly human), it serves in many ways as the cultural and trade center of the Alliance, even with remote access to the sea. Stormwind humans are usually carefree and artistic, favoring light and colorful clothes, cuisine and art.

Excerpt from the World of Warcraft Game Manual:

"The city of Stormwind stands as the last bastion of human power in Azeroth. Rebuilt after the Second War, Stormwind is a marvel of human design and engineering.  Stormwind's guards keep the peace within the city's walls, and its young king, Anduin Wrynn, rules from his mighty keep.  The Trade District bustles with trade from across the continent and beyond, while adventurers of every sort can be found wandering the streets of old Town.  Unaffected by the ravages of the Scourge in the north, Stormwind still faces its own threats, both from without and within."

= Areas (Districts) =



The city is made up of roughly rectangular districts separated by canals (see the City Map at WorldofWar.net):

 * The Stockade instance at the northeast corner of Mage Quarter by canals.

= Notes &amp; Tips=


 * Stormwind is the only Alliance capital city that has an instance inside the city area. Very convenient for repairing and selling afterwards.
 * Stormwind is a hangout for high-level Players (not so much as Ironforge though).
 * There is a repeatable Quest in all three cities, where you can turn in 20 Runecloth for 50 reputation points (humans 55 rp) each. You'll find the collector-NPC next to the tailor in all three cities. Before that you have to bring in 60 Wool Cloth, 60 Silk Cloth and 60 Mageweave Cloth. After that you need 60 Runecloth once.
