Royal University of Stormwind

The Royal University of Stormwind is the prime institute of higher learning within the Kingdom of Stormwind. It is the largest and most prestigious institutes of learning in the human kingdoms, as well as one of the few since the destruction of the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

History
The university was founded by King Adamant II in 418 K.C. during the Age of Conquest. While colleges and institutes of learning had been existing before, this was the first charted by the Kingdom of Stormwind, and it quickly grew in prestige and rank.

Much of the main University was destroyed by the Orcs' razing of Stormwind City, with plenty of the knowledge lost in the process. It was one of the first buildings rebuilt when the city was taken back.

With the recent destruction of the Kingdoms of Lordaeron and Gilneas, many of the professors and learned persons of those kingdoms migrated to the university. This created an increase in knowledge and collaboration between cultures.
