Lordaeron always came across to me as the most powerful just insofar as having the largest standing army thanks to a huge population, while Stormwind had a smaller, tougher, more tested and experienced military because it was essentially a “frontier” kingdom that still had to contest with frequent Gurubashi troll raids and gnoll uprisings within its own borders.įor all intents and purposes the only northern kingdom that seemingly had to fight any wars of note after the Troll Wars (and before the Second War) was Kul Tiras with its founding conflicts against the Drust.
