Were you looking for the Capital City of Lordaeron?

Capital cities are typically the main headquarters of each race. They are the largest cities of each race, where their leaders reside.

Major capitals

These are large cities that serve as the main cultural, political, and economical center of each of the playable races.

Former capitals

This is a list of cities that once were the capitals of a certain race or faction. The factions, races, and location names are listed to reflect the capital's situation at the time of its "golden age". Also, some factions might not have a template to mark them, as they were formed before the days of the Alliance and Horde. Factions marked with a * were hostile to all playable races. If they are still inhabited by a sizable amount of their original residents, they are not on this list, but in the next one.
