Military of the Kingdom of Stormwind

The **Royal Branch** of the Government of the Kingdom of Stormwind is separate and independent from the Assembly of Representatives and ministries thereof due to their nature being directly related to serving the King of Stormwind rather than the elected government.   The Royal Branch, however, has strict checks and balances which prevent them from having too much influence and they have very minor political influence with the exception of the Crown Administrator.

## King of Stormwind

The King of Stormwind is recognized as an absolute monarch and maintains complete authority over the affairs of his government. The monarchy is also the sole authority for all matters regarding the Stormwind Royal Guard and the Military of the Kingdom of Stormwind, including the Stormwind Army, the Stormwind Fleet (Navy), and all other divisions of the military as well as other other divisions of the Royal Branch, including the House of Nobles.

Anduin Wrynn, the current king, being a young and innovative thinker who has traveled the world and observed several styles of governance, developed the idea of a community-led legislative body duly elected by the residents of Stormwind in order to replace the corrupt practices of the Stormwind House of Nobles. It is his hope that such a form of governance will lead the Kingdom of Stormwind into greater prosperity, following the example set forth by the dwarfs of Ironforge and the gnomes of Gnomeregean.

## Crown Administrator

    The Crown Administrator of the Kingdom of Stormwind is appointed by the monarch of Stormwind to preside over all matters of government within the Kingdom of Stormwind, including the appointment of and the removal of government officials, making the administrator the head of government of the Kingdom of Stormwind. Being appointed by the monarch, the Crown Administrator is empowered with nearly all authorities of the monarch given the administrator serves as the monarch's representative. The current Crown Administrator is **Lady Rose**.

The following is a list of Crown Administrators. The current Crown Administrator is Lady Rose.

## House of Nobles

The Stormwind House of Nobles, which consists of members of the Royal Family and other landed nobles within the Kingdom of Stormwind, is empowered to advise the monarch on all matters of government. The nobles are mainly royal advisors who have major leverage over business and labor due to the fact that they own much of the land themselves.  The House of Nobles, however, has no government authority within the Kingdom of Stormwind except to advise the monarch.  The House of Nobles is not empowered to legislate laws within their territories which differ from the laws of the rest of the kingdom. The House is regulated by the House of Nobles Act and individuals may apply to join the House here. The House of Nobles is led by the **Steward of the House of Nobles**. The current steward is **Arina Argosius**.
