Any business owners are welcome to submit an application to join the Chamber of Commerce. The chamber is led by the **President of the Chamber of Commerce**. The current president is **Den Walden**. Businesses registered with the Chamber of Commerce must adhere to the Chamber of Commerce Regulation Act and may apply for government grants through the Ministry of Business Grant Act.

### History

The Chamber of Commerce was established during the First Term of the Stormwind Assembly of Representatives. Prior to the reorganization of the government of the Kingdom of Stormwind in the SCA government timeline, a Chamber of Commerce existed, though is was almost exclusively limited to businesses operating in Stormwind City rather than the entirety of the Kingdom of Stormwind. In addition to representing business interests within the kingdom, the Chamber of Commerce also partners with the Ministry of Administration's Event Coordination Committee to host contests and events featuring their business. Amongst these contests may be a food contest between registered restaurants or a music contest between registered musicians. The chamber also helps facilitate local business owners' participation in events such as the weekly Stormwind Market and the monthly Stormwind Job Fair, and helps businesses develop advertisements to be run in the Stormwind Daily Newspaper.

## Port Authority

The **Port Authority** is responsible for the regulation of all incoming goods imported to the Kingdom of Stormwind from foreign lands. The Port Authority is likewise responsible for the administration of Stormwind Harbor and customs checks within the Trade District of Stormwind City. The authority is governed by the Port Authority Regulation Act. The authority is led by the **Director of the Port Authority**. The current director is **Edward Monzalvique**.

The following areas are under the jurisdiction of the Port Authority:

**Jurisdiction of the Port Authority**
 Deadman's Crossing
 Deeprun Tram
 Eastern Earthshrine
 Marshtide Watch Harbor
 Stormwind Harbor
 Stormwind City (Trade District)
 Trading House
 Wizard's Sanctum
 Flight Master Stations

### History

The Port Authority was established during the First Term of the Stormwind Assembly of Representatives. Prior to the reorganization of the government of the Kingdom of Stormwind in the SCA government timeline, all law enforcement in the areas currently under the jurisdiction of the Port Authority was handled directly by the Stormwind City Guard. Whereas the Guard continues to have jurisdiction in the Port Authority's jurisdiction, the independent Port Authority has increased the safety of areas under its jurisdiction and more efficiently manages the kingdom's harbors. In July 2021, the Port Authority led the investigation of a Void-tainting of the waters surrounding Stormwind Harbor in Stormwind City (Harbor) (though the region was part of Stormwind City, Unincorporated at the time) and then Marshtide Watch in the Stormwind Territories by members of the Voidfang Clan. The Port Authority was subsequently extremely instrumental in the arrests of the ecoterrorists who attacked the harbors.

In December 2023, the Wizard's Sanctum, which is located in Stormwind City (Mage Quarter) and falls under the authority of the Port Authority, was awarded a grant authored by Mage Quarter representative 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.

### History

The Royal Bank of Stormwind was established during the Second Term of the Stormwind Assembly of Representatives. Prior to the reorganization of the government of the Kingdom of Stormwind in the SCA government timeline, the banks were a part of the Royal Branch of the government. The banks continued to be part of the Royal Branch until the establishment of the Royal Bank of Stormwind as a sub-ministry within the Ministry of Business during the second term of the Assembly. Once the bank was established as a sub-ministry, the Darkshire Financial Bank in Darkshire, the First Bank of Elwynn in Unincorporated Elwynn, Brook & Stone Bank in Lakeshire, and Sentinel Hill Depository Bank in Sentinel Hill were established to offer banking services outside of Stormwind City.

### History

The Public Housing Authority was established during the Second Term of the Stormwind Assembly of Representatives. Prior to the reorganization of the government of the Kingdom of Stormwind in the SCA government timeline, no similar function of the government existed. The Public Housing Authority was primarily established to offer homes to the kaldorei refugees in Stormwind City (Unincorporated); however, it has since grown with the ambition of offering affordable housing to all residents in the kingdom who are in need of a place to stay more permanently than the Ministry of Services' Stormwind City Soup Kitchen.

During the Second Term of the Stormwind Assembly of Representatives, in February 2022, ten housing units were established in Goldshire and Stormwind City (Unincorporated), respectively, as a result of work by Eleyna Nightshade (Representative of Goldshire) and Tia Anshar (Representative of Stormwind City, Unincorporated).

During the Third Term of Stormwind Assembly of Representatives, in April 2022, ten housing units were established in Stormwind City (Old Town) as result of work by Kehaulani Svehla (Representative of Stormwind City, Old Town).
