This is the capitol of the humans of Azeroth. The child king anduin wyrm rules from the keep alongside highlord bolvar who is actually the big cheese in Stormwind. The city is absulutley marvelous and in my opinion is the coolest of all the allaince cities.
Its located in Elwynn Forest not far from the Human Starting area of Northshire. Just follow the road northwest out of goldshire and before long youll see the cities gates. At the entrance there is a bridge that is required to cross to actually get inside the city. Along the bridge are statues of heroes of the Alliances past. Most of these heroes are presumed dead as read on their plaque (but some of them will be in outland in the Burning Crusade Expansion).
After crossing the bridge youll wind up in The Trade District. Its pretty much a kind of marketplace. many stores line the road with weapons food and trinkets. The guild master is located here along with the Auction house and the Bank.
if you take a left and go across the canals youll end up in Mage Quarter. Its pretty self explanitory. It is a place mostly for mages and contains Alchemists trainers and mage class trainers and well.Go north from there and youll end up in the park. The druid trainer is located here. Many Night elfs have seemed to find their home in the park of Stormwind.
Go right from the Park and youll be at Cathedral Square. Cathedral Square houses the cathedral of light which contains both paladin and priest trainers. This district also has an orphanage in it that has some seaonal quests tied in.
Keep going right and youll be in Dwarven District. Dwarven district is very industrial as you can tell by the smoke cloud in it as soon as you walk in. This area also houses the deeprun tram which can be ridden to Ironforge.
Go south from there and youll be at the last district of Stormwind Old town. Old town is full of shops and also contains a tavern. It alo houses a barracks and the entrance to champions hall where pvp honor rewards are given.
The city also has an instance within its walls the Stockades. The Stockades is a lvl 24-32 instance in which the player accompanied by 4 other players [presumably goes into an overrun prison to complete quests and get loot. it located along the canals just outside mage quarter.
Be careful when you are in the water, there is a very strong rare crocadile that spawns in there and it will kill you. so if you're going to go for a swim, look before you leap.
