## History

Northshire was part of the original regions represented in the Stormwind Assembly of Representatives when it was established in the SCA government timeline.

### Grants

In March 2022, during the the Third Term of the Assembly of Representatives, Northshire Abbey was bombed by terrorists in The Free Gilneas Movement. Thanks to Northshire's representative, Nan'lii, Northshire was awarded a grant through the Ministry of Business Grant Act to contract the Ministry of Services' Public Construction Commission to repair the damage, which was substantial.

### 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 terms of Northshire, Northshire Vineyard being replanted and not in a constant state of burning. Even though Blizzard does not often update in-game locations, including Stormwind's geographic regions, to reflect changes over time, SCA assumes that most goals achieved through player quests are meant to be canon in Blizzard's main timeline. For example, the quest to defeat murlocs in Longshore, Unincorporated Westfall suggests that, even though the murlocs will respawn in-game, murlocs no longer have a significant presence in Longshore in the lore. The same is true for the orc spies in Northshire.
