Stormwind City (Mage Quarter)

**Stormwind City (Mage Quarter)** lies in the southern corner of Stormwind City. It is part of the Stormwind City geographic region cluster. The infamous Slaughtered Lamb tavern is located there, as well as the Wizard's Sanctum, which is administrated jointly by the Ministry of Administration's Magic Regulation Committee and the Ministry of Business' Port Authority. Within the Sanctum, mages train to increase their powers, and there are also several portals in the tower. In the Slaughtered Lamb, shady warlocks are often drawn to the dark cellars which are designated as demonic sanctuaries by the Crimes of the Kingdom Act. This district also includes **Lion's Rest,** a peaceful place dedicated to reflection which commemorates the late King Varian Wrynn as well as those who fell in battle to defend the Alliance. The monument there does not contain the body of the King, as it could not be recovered. King Anduin Wrynn often uses this place to address his people on solemn occasions.  The Stockades, where criminals arrested by the Stormwind City Guard are housed, is also located in the quarter.

## History

Stormwind City (Mage Quarter) was part of the original regions represented in the Stormwind Assembly of Representatives when it was established in the SCA government timeline.

### Grants

In February 2022, the region was awarded a grant through the Ministry of Business Grant Act at the request of Representative of Stormwind City (Mage Quarter) Relun to repair the locks in the Stockades to help ensure criminals remain tightly secured within its confines.

In November 2022, the region was awarded a grant authored by Relun to replace ten benches in Lion’s Rest, repair the bricks on the well in front of The Slaughtered Lamb tavern, and repair wear and tear damage to the Wizard’s Sanctum.

In September 2023, the Mage Quarter, represented by Relun, competed against Sentinel Hill, represented by Raleigh Ellerian, to receive funding to contract Gnomeregan to build the kingdom's first airfield in the region. The proposed site of the airfield was the mountain behind the Wizard's Sanctum that houses an abandoned portal. Due to the cost of demolishing the portal and terraforming the area to make it suitable for an airfield, the Assembly instead voted to grant the airfield to Sentinel Hill.

In December 2023, the Wizard's Sanctum, which is located in the Mage Quarter but falls under the authority of the Port Authority, was awarded a grant authored by Relun to expand the sanctum to include space for ten additional portals. Though this was approached and approved IC, it was motivated in response to Blizzard's updating the sanctum to include a second floor.

### SCA Lore Developments

Developments that are implied or assumed to have happened, such as the feral worgen rampaging through Unincorporated Duskwood undergoing the Ritual of Balance and no longer being feral, are considered canon in SCA. In the Mage Quarter, SCA applies this standard to the portal to Gorgrond, Draenor that sits behind the **Mage Quarter** being closed; the nearby camp of Illidari stationed outside of The Slaughtered Lamb tavern in the Mage Quarter being disbanded or relocating to the Stormwind Embassy; and the portal to the Shadowlands in the Mage Quarter's Wizard's Sanctum being closed following the restoration of order in the realm;
