Stormwind City (Dwarven District)

**Stormwind City (Dwarven District)** lies in the northern corner of Stormwind City. Here, the dwarfs of Ironforge have established an enclave. The forges in the district produce a constant haze, supplemented by the constant strokes of smiths' hammers.  It is part of the Stormwind City geographic region cluster. The Dwarven District is known as the foremost industrial center of the Kingdom of Stormwind. The majority of the kingdom's blacksmiths, forgers, and like-minded professions reside within the district. It is also notable for housing the largest population of gnomes and dwarfs in Stormwind. The sizable gnomish and dwarfish populations are due in large part to the Deeprun Tram, which connects Ironforge to Stormwind City and is administrated by the Ministry of Business' Port Authority. The constant smithing makes the district somewhat polluted, though the Ministry of Education's Druidic Affairs Committee works to safeguard the environment in the district.

## History

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

### Grants

The Dwarven District has never received any grants through the Ministry of Business Grant Act or the Trade Deals of the Kingdom of Stormwind Act.

### SCA Lore Developments

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. This logic likewise applies to areas which are infested with rats or similar critter mobs, like The Golden Keg in the **Dwarven District**. Given it is a functioning tavern, rats would be dealt with swiftly and not be a constant issue. However, mobs which are native fauna to areas within Stormwind, such as the wild wolves in Goldshire, the bears surrounding Eastvale, the spiders in Unincorporated Duskwood, or the aggressive coyotes in Unincorporated Westfall, are considered to still be present and pose challenges to their regions. The understanding of "fauna" in this sense can be expanded to include the dust devils, air elementals which wander through Unincorporated Westfall, and other similar examples.

There are some areas of lore that Blizzard, either intentionally or not, has left so underdeveloped that it would be impossible to reasonably incorporate them into SCA RP. This includes the closing of Bizmo's Brawlpub in the Deeprun Tram, which was closed for renovations in a 2018 Battle for Azeroth patch and was never reopened and is considered closed in SCA canon.
