History
The kingdom's capital, Stormwind City, was destroyed during the First War. Azeroth, the shattered southern country, brought its resolute and angry refugees into the Alliance.

They mourned their beloved King Llane who died when Stormwind fell to the Horde, and they settled near Southshore, determined to take back their homes.APG 158 Stormwind City was later rebuilt as New Stormwind after the Second War. After the nation was split into several regions. New Stormwind was renamed Stormwind City. The city became the capital of the kingdom of Stormwind.LoC 52 Most of Azeroth's former regions became separate democratic regions but are still influenced or controlled by the kingdom of Stormwind, with the exception of Westfall which has fallen under anarchy, and controlled by the Defias Brotherhood.

Leader: Regent Lord Anduin Lothar
Nation Color: Blue
Background: Before the coming of the Age of Chaos when the Portal was first opened, the kingdom of Azeroth was the mightiest of all Human nations. Ruled by the wise and just King Llane, Azeroth stood as a beacon of light and truth throughout the known world. After the First War, Azeroth and all of its lands were devastated by the Horde. With King Llane dead, Sir Lothar took charge of the shattered armies of Azeroth and led the survivors across the Great Sea to the shores of Lordaeron. King Terenas, ruler of Lordaeron, agreed to support the landless Azerothiens. The people of Azeroth settled near the Southshore region of Lordaeron, pledging their loyalty to the Alliance. Battle-hardened and brave, the last of the once great armies of Azeroth now seek retribution for the loss of their homeland.W2Man #?
