About Stormwind City
Stormwind is the city that would not stay dead. In the First War, Doomhammer’s Horde ringed its walls with siege engines, and it was only Anduin Lothar’s daring charge through Elwynn Forest that saved it from the first assault. The second assault was different. King Llane Wrynn was cut down in his own keep, fire swallowed the streets, and Lothar carried the surviving citizens, Prince Varian among them, to the harbor and away by sea.
The city that stands today is a monument to stubbornness. After the Second War, the Alliance pledged its treasuries to the rebuilding. King Terenas of Lordaeron backed the young prince’s claim, and the paladin Turalyon oversaw the return of Stormwind’s people. Some refugees would not come back to a place that reminded them of everything they had lost; those who did raised white towers, canals, a cathedral, and a keep grander than the first. Statues of the heroes who marched through the Dark Portal and never returned stand at its gates, a daily reminder of what the peace cost.
Stormwind’s reputation is older than its ruin. It once beat back the Gurubashi trolls when Medivh unleashed the arcane on the besiegers, and its clerics of the Northshire Abbey have healed the kingdom’s soldiers on every front since. Walk the Trade District, the Cathedral Square, and the Old Town, and you are walking through a capital that rebuilt itself from ash and still keeps its lion banners high.
Today Stormwind is the busiest capital in the Alliance. Class trainers, the auction house, and the Deeprun Tram to Ironforge all sit within its walls, and a prison riot has turned the Stockade into a quick dungeon that starts right inside the city.
