Lordaeron

Lordaeron's Capital Palace

Introduction

The Lordaeron Kingdom plays an important role in the war against the Undead. They are the biggest, most populated and richest human kingdom in the world; Still, they are arrogant and ignore the threat that is appearing on the horizon: the Undead Scourge. Their main cities are Lordaeron itself, settled right north from Dalaran, on the other edge of the lake, and Stratholme, a port city southwest from Quel'thalas; both are vital for the economy and the strength of this proud nation. They are located in the northern half of Eastern Kingdom, halfway between Quel'thalas and Dalaran, being both surrounded by his allies, and his enemies.

Notes

• You can't lose control of Tyr's Hand or Hearthglen by an event.
• Lordaeron Kingdom is one of the more lore-wise accurate nations playable in the game. It's lack of alliance with the Dwarves of Ironforge and Arathor Kingdom is for gameplay reasons.
