'', mislabelled 'Stonewind Keep'.]] HISTORY The Kingdom of Azeroth was one of the strongest nations in the World of Azeroth, and Stormwind was built as a symbol of this might. During the events of the First Great War , under the rulership of King Llane, the Orcish horde defeated Azeroth and forced the entire city to flee. Much of the populace was able to escape, however, thanks to the leadership of Lord Anduin Lothar . After the formation of the Alliance and the defeat of the Horde , Stormwind was reclaimed, although much of the city had been destroyed. In the MMORPG game '' World Of Warcraft '' we learn that Stormwind was unaffected by the ravages of the Undead Scourge that destroyed the Northern Kingdom of Lordaeron , and now stands as one of the last bastions of human power. The town was repaired by the architect Edwin VanCleef , however VanCleef was not compensated by the Alliance and as a result formed the bandit organization known as the Defias Brotherhood, swearing vengeance. The child-king Anduin Wrynn has ruled Stormwind since the disappearance of his father, King Varrian Wrynn , who succeeded the assassinated King Llane. STRUCTURE The city is made up of roughly rectangular districts separated by canals:
The Valley of Heroes is just beyond the city's main gate, and is the first area of the city visitors encounter. It contains the large stone statues of the High Elf Ranger Alleria Windrunner , Dwarf Kurdran Wildhammer , Human Archmage Khadgar , Mercenary Danath Trollbane and General Turalyon , the heroes of the expedition that travelled through the Dark Portal into Draenor after the Second Great War , and never returned. The trade district is the first place you see, unless you arrived by tram. The gryphon master, the inn, the mail box, and the bank are here. If you want to make a guild or a guild tabard, you can find the guild master in the Visitor's center. Cathedral Square is named for the massive Cathedral of Light, which dominates the area. It is the center of the Religion of Light and is thus home to paladin and priest trainers as well as a first aid trainer. The city's town hall is also located in Cathedral Square, where the day to day business of running the city is handled. The Cathedral of Light is where Archbishop Benedictus presides. The Mage Quarter is a section in Stormwind. Mage and Warlock trainers are found here. You can also find Herbalism, Alchemy, and Tailoring realated stores and NPCs . There also is a portal here.
