Old Town (Stormwind)

Old Town in Stormwind City is the historic district that survived the Orcish Horde's occupation after the city was razed during the First War. The roves of its buildings were painted red to honor the blood spilled during the Orcish Wars.

History
Old Town Stormwind was the bustling heart of the Kingdom of Azeroth prior to the Orcish Wars. After the first failed attack by the Orcish Horde, the city was reduced to shambles due to rationing and Orc raids on the city. It eventually fell after King Llane Wrynn I was slain and Sir Anduin Lothar ordered a mass exodus to the Kingdom of Lordaeron.

The Orcish Horde took residence in the burnt out buildings during their occupation, using the Stormwind Command Center as a fortified keep. At the close of the Second War, the Alliance of Lordaeron led a bloody attack on the orc-held ruins and recaptured it in the name of the Kingdom of Azeroth.

After Stormwind City's reconstruction in the aftermath of the Orcish Wars, Old Town became a military stronghold on its surface while criminal cartels operated in its alleys and sewers.
