Seven Kingdoms

The Seven Kingdoms were the human states that became sovereign after the disintegration of the Empire of Arathor, approximately 1,200 years before the First War. The post-Arathorian Seven Kingdoms were: AlteracDalaranGilneasKul TirasLordaeronAzeroth or Stormwind and Stromgarde.

Prelude

The kingdom of Azeroth or Stromwind was a prosperous one. The humans who dwelled there turned the land into a paradise. The Knights of Azeroth, and the Clerics of Northshire Abbey, roamed far and wide, serving the king's people with honor and justice. The well-trained armies of the king were maintaining a lasting peace since the days of the Gnoll War. The people of Azeroth were unbeknownst to the fact that the powerful human mage Medivh was seeking a way to destroy this kingdom and wrought terror on the lands. With the help of an other-worldy being named Gul'dan, the two managed to open a portal between their two worlds, a portal which would later became known as the Dark Portal.

Through the portal came the Orcish Horde. The humans did not know from whence these foul creatures came, and none were prepared for the terror that they spawned. Their warriors wielded axe and spear with deadly proficiency, while others rode dark wolves as black as the moonless night. Unimagined were the destructive powers of their evil magic, derived from the fires of the Twisting Nether. Filled with the demonic blood of Mannoroth, these creatures lusted for war and would destroy anything that prevented them from reaching their goal; to conquer Azeroth.

With an ingenious arsenal of weaponry and powerful magic, these two forces collided in a contest of cunning, intellect, and brute strength, with the victor claiming dominance over the whole of Azeroth.

War with the Orcs

Azeroth's regained idyllic existence was shattered anew a few decades later with the opening of the Dark Portal and the invasion of the Orcish Horde. After which the kingdom waged a long and bloody war with the invading orcs. The cost was heavy. Many lives were taken, including both King Barathen "Adamant" Wrynn and his son King Llane Wrynn.

Stormwind was reduced to ruins during the First War between orcs and humans. With King Llane assassinated by the Horde's assassin Garona Halforcen, Stormwind's champion, Anduin Lothar, subsequently took on the mantle of regent lord and guided the refugee nation in the name of the young prince, Varian Wrynn. The city's survivors fled to Lordaeron, where the leaders of the seven kingdoms resolved to unify once again in the Alliance of Lordaeron. Under Anduin Lothar's charismatic leadership, the Alliance joined together and succeeded in defeating the Horde during the Second War.

Reconstruction

Though Sir Lothar did not live to see it, the Alliance forces were able to take back the ruins of Stormwind City. With Stormwind under human control once again and serving as a strong base of operations, the Alliance eventually wrested most of Azeroth from the Horde's grip. The Alliance then set to rebuilding the ruined kingdom of Azeroth, calling on artisans and patrons to help fund or aid in the massive project. Many answered the call. Terenas MenethilMara Fordragon, Archbishop Alonsus Faol, and the Stonemasons were all instrumental in the rebuilding process. Meanwhile, King Varian Wrynn led his people in reacquiring and restorating the kingdom's lost territories. The territories reacquired split the kingdom into several unique regions, all of which have their own form of municipality. Though the regions are granted a certain degree of independence, all lands with in Stormwind are united under the Stormwind banner and have sworn fealty to the House of Wrynn. Stormwind City being the crown jewel of the kingdom, once again became the capital of the restored kingdom of Stormwind.

The internment camps' authorities were based at first in New Stormwind under Danath Trollbane.

Epicenter of Humanity

Tensions grew among the kingdoms, however, as the costs for maintaining the Alliance rose much higher than originally anticipated. Unwilling to pay the taxes, the leaders of Gilneas and Stromgarde chose to withdraw their kingdoms from the Alliance. King Varian Wrynn vowed to stand by King Terenas Menethil and remained committed to the Alliance, just as they have done for him. Yet further disaster came when the kingdom of Lordaeron was decimated by a mysterious plague that killed thousands of humans and converted them into undead servants of the Lich King. Even Lordaeron's prince, Arthas Menethil, was manipulated by the Lich King, leading Arthas to kill his own father, destroy his own kingdom and journey to Northrend, where he merged with his master. For the next five years, the Lich King remained in Northrend, plotting and building up his armies.

Since the fall of Lordaeron, the kingdom of Azeroth has become the strongest bastion of humanity and the most powerful nation within the Alliance. As one of the few remaining great human cities, It boasts a powerful city guard and a strong army. With the fall of the northern kingdoms, Stormwind is by far the most populated human city in the world. Boasting a large population of predominantly human people, it serves in many ways as the cultural and trade center of the Alliance, which is furthermore supplemented by Stormwind City's access to the sea and its formidable fleet of ships. Led by King Varian Wrynn, the people of Stormwind hold fast to the principles of honor and justice as they defend their settlements and their families.

Reborn of KoA

One day King Varian was abducted by the Defias Brotherhood and the black dragon Onyxia, who disguised herself as Lady Katrana Prestor. Anduin Wrynn, the son of King Varian, was crowned king and reigned in the absence of his father for a few years. Anduin however, was too young to exercise any real political power and was governed by his co-regents, Lady Katrana Prestor and Highlord Bolvar Fordragon. For the past two years, Varian was robbed of his memories and enslaved by a Horde gladiatorial trainer in Kalimdor. Stormwind suffered much from Lady Katrana's machinations during his absence. The Dark Horde, now mysteriously allied with the Black dragonflight, have resumed their quest to conquer Azeroth. They have started their bold campaign by invading Redridge. Meanwhile, the beleaguered town of Darkshire has found itself besieged by worgen and undead. Westfall had fallen prey to the Defias Brotherhood and had taken the Deadmines as a base to plot and scheme the kingdom's demise. Fortunately, Heroes of Valor defended the kingdom against those who encroached upon it, and hunted down the subversive traitors who sought to destroy it from within. King Varian Wrynn in the meanwhile fought his way to freedom, earning the nickname "Lo'Gosh," or "ghost wolf," while in battle. With the help of his comrades, he was able to recover his true identity, defeat Prestor and finally return to his throne. On his return, he restored order to his lands and incarcerated any of the Defias that remained.

Later, Azeroth itself was attacked by the Scourge.  King Varian Wrynn created the Valiance Expedition to put an end to the Lich King. Members of the Horde and the Alliance launched separate campaigns in Northrend, and their efforts resulted in the Lich King’s crushing defeat. Under King Varian Wrynn's daring leadership, the humans of Azeroth led the Alliance to victory against the Lich King in Northrend.

The Dark Portal was made by a powerful mage Medivh which could use to Time Travel as well. After the Third War King Varian Wrynn got control of the Portal. He used the Portal and came to a World called "Valhalla". King abandoned his fellows. Who knows what was in his mind and whats gonna happen next.
