Geographic region

Political map of the Kingdom of Stormwind (click to expand)

The Kingdom of Stormwind is divided into twenty **geographic regions** for the purposes of the Assembly of Representatives. The residents of each region elect one representative to represent their interests in the Assembly. For a list of individuals who presently or have previously represented each region, please refer to Assembly of Representatives. Each of the regions is housed within one of six geographic clusters: Stormwind City, Duskwood, Elwynn Forest, Redridge Mountains, Westfall, and the Stormwind Territories.

For information about the specific demographics of each region, including population size, income, unemployment rate, racial demographic, religious demographic, and support of the government, refer to the region's respective page or view the SCA Population Statistics guide.

The following are the twenty regions:

## List of Regions

### Stormwind City Geographic Region

Unlike the other regions, which are true geographic regions, Stormwind City is considered its own region due to the size of its population. It has the most representatives in the Assembly of Representatives, totaling six. No city better demonstrates human determination than Stormwind. Destroyed during the Horde's initial invasion of Azeroth, Stormwind was painstakingly reconstructed by the Stonemasons' Guild after the Second War. Parts of the city were razed again when Deathwing, the corrupted black Dragon Aspect, brutally attacked Stormwind, but the other undamaged districts are more beautiful than ever thanks to their hardworking inhabitants. From the magnificent Cathedral of Light, which serves as a major spiritual hub, to the awe-inspiring Valley of Heroes, which commemorates the sacrifices of Stormwind's loyal champions, the city truly represents the courageous heart of humanity.  Law enforcement in the region is provided by the Stormwind City Guard, the Port Authority, and the Holy Church Guard.

### Elwynn Geographic Region

**Elwynn Forest**, or simply **Elwynn**, is a vast woodland of stately hardwoods nestled just below the foothills of the Burning Steppes to the north. It is the heartland of the Kingdom of Stormwind.  It includes the political regions of Eastvale, Goldshire, Northshire, and Unincorporated Elwynn. The seat of the region is Westbrook Garrison, which serves as the town hall for Eastvale, Goldshire, Northshire, and Unincorporated Elwynn. Law enforcement in the region is provided by the Stormwind City Guard's regional administration division, which includes the sheriff of Elwynn.

### Duskwood Geographic Region

**Duskwood**, originally called **Brightwood**, is located in the southern-central part of Azeroth, south of Elwynn Forest, east of Westfall, west of Deadwind Pass, and north of Stranglethorn Vale. Due to events central to the actions of some, Duskwood has become a cursed and dying land. Beneath the everlasting night which gave Duskwood its current name, the magic unleashed upon it has transformed what was once a beautiful part of Elwynn Forest into a land covered in gnarled trees and inhabited by the hideous undead and overgrown spiders, along with the black fog hanging over the woods. Ogres moving in have brought up even more problems.  It includes the political regions of Darkshire, Raven Hill, and Unincorporated Duskwood. The seat of the region is Darkshire Town Hall, which serves as the city hall for Darkshire, Raven Hill, and Unincorporated Duskwood. Law enforcement in the region is provided by the Stormwind City Guard's regional administration division, which includes the sheriff of Duskwood.

**Regions in Duskwood**

### Redridge Geographic Region

The **Redridge Mountains** are located east of Elwynn Forest, northeast of Duskwood, and south of the Burning Steppes. An idyllic region of rushing rivers, towering elms and rising elevations, the Redridge Mountains are under Stormwind's protection. Their inhabitants supply Stormwind with timber, fish, and crops.  It includes the political regions of Lakeshire and Unincorporated Redridge. The seat of the region is Lakeshire Town Hall, which serves as the city hall for Lakeshire and Unincorporated Redridge. Law enforcement in the region is provided by the Stormwind City Guard's regional administration division, which includes the sheriff of Redridge.

### Westfall Geographic Region

**Westfall** was once filled with rich land but has since lain fallow after the Second War, and years of neglect and conflict have not improved the situation. Westfall is a region of rolling pastures and farms that were once beautiful and green, but now have become barren with drought due to maltreatment at the hands of bandits. The grass is yellowed and the fields are infested with ravenous carrion birds and mechanical harvest watchers gone rogue.  It includes the political regions of Moonbrook, Sentinel Hill, and Unincorporated Westfall. The seat of the region is Sentinel Tower, which serves as the town hall for Moonbrook, Sentinel Hill, and Unincorporated Westfall. Law enforcement in the region is provided by the Stormwind City Guard's regional administration division, which includes the sheriff of Westfall.

**Regions in Westfall**

### Stormwind Territories Geographic Region

The Stormwind Territories region includes all holdings of the Kingdom of Stormwind not otherwise assigned a geographic region, including the **Burning Steppes**, **Blasted Lands**, **Deadwind Pass**, **Northern Stranglethorn Vale**, and **Swamp of Sorrows**. Unlike the other region clusters, these sub-regions are not independently represented in the Assembly of Representatives; instead, they are all represented by the singular representative of the Stormwind Territories.

## Bordering Governments

The Kingdom of Stormwind shares borders with several other governments, including Dalaran, Gilneas, the Horde, the Steamwheedle Cartel, and several tribes of trolls and ogres. All of these external borders run alongside regions in the Stormwind Territories geographic region. Northern Stranglethron Vale sees the largest number of neighboring governments, including the trolls in the Bloodscalp Tribe, the Skullsplitter Tribe, the Zul'Gurub Tribe; the Venture Company; and the Horde.

The borders with Dalaran exist exclusively around Nethergarde Keep, an abandoned Kirin Tor settlement that remains under Dalaran's control. Conversely, the Gilnean village of Surwich, built on lands gifted by Stormwind to Gilneas, is the closest active territory of the Grand Alliance to Stormwind's national borders. Though not pictured on the map, the Deeprun Tram connects the Dwarven District in Stormwind City to Ironforge, with Stormwind controlling administration of the tram up to half way to Ironforge, meaning Stormwind also technically borders Ironforge by virtue of the tram.

Stormwind's most present threats from borders come from the shared borders with the Horde and the practices of the Steamwheedle Cartel and the Venture Company, which may conflict with Stormwind's interests in their regions. Steamwheedle and Venture are both granted foreign attaches to the Stormwind Ministry of Foreign Affairs to help resolve diplomatic matters.
