Culture

The kingdom combines knightly service and faith in the Light with the practical labor of its towns and farms. Its strength comes from communities that can organize, adapt and begin again after loss.

Origins and homeland

Elwynn Forest surrounds Stormwind with wooded hills, settlements and fields. Beyond that sheltered landscape lie the troubles of Westfall, Redridge and Duskwood; the capital depends on more than its own defenses.

Starting journey

The ordinary starting path begins in Northshire Valley and continues into Elwynn Forest. Class availability and racial abilities on this page belong to the selected historical ruleset. Death Knight follows a separate introductory campaign.
