The Stormwind Vault is a prison within the human capital city of Stormwind City, designed to contain extremely dangerous entities: demons, rogue mages, ogre mages, necromancers, and other nightmares, anyone or anything else that could not be held by manacles or iron bars. Similar in many ways to Tol Barad, the Vault is kept secret from the public.

It is a prison that houses those who have no right to live, but Alliance has no means to kill easily.^[1]

The Vault is located opposite the Stockade, and mirrors that other prison in most ways, except that the Vault is completely surrounded by water and does not have a clock on top of it. It is currently inaccessible, gated off by a portcullis with two guards.

Access

Although there were guard NPCs there and the geography apparently matches the entrance to the Stockades, the Vault has never been officially accessible, not even in alpha or beta.

Cataclysm

The portcullis that once blocked entry into this building have been removed and in their place a wall with a closed door has been added.
