We have several hours in Santorini on Tuesday 7th May en route from Heraklion to Naxos.
We visited Santorini 4 years ago and so do not have any need to see or go anywhere in particular. I anticipate that we may head for the little cove the far end of Oia and sit and eat and drink .
I know that I can get there (to Oia ) by bus or taxi.
Now we are starting to think about whether to take suitcases or rucksacks I have found myself wondering whether the system of old still works- you could just leave your luggage in the port office /bus station where it would be perfectly safe until you returned. I anticipate not.- but it would be lovely to hear that there was still sufficient trust in people for this to be done.
Otherwise does anyone know whether there is a "left luggage facility " in the port? ( Sorry this sounds like SUCH a minor issue).
With thanks

Not sure which ferries you are taking, but FlyingCat 4 arrives at Santorini around noon, and Blue Star leaves for Naxos at 1530. You will have about 3½ hours layover, and need to be back at the port a half hour before ferry departure. Don't know if it would be worth going to Oia in that time, but you could certainly have a walk round Fira. Another possibility would be a taxi to Akrotiri for a look around the archaeological site, but you would need to insure you have a way back to the port in time for your ferry.
If you buy your ferry ticket to Naxos when you get to the port at Santorini, you could ask the travel agency if they would put your luggage behind the counter and hold it for you. I wouldn't just leave it somewhere like a port office or bus station unless someone took responsibility for it. -

We are taking this route too end May. Do you think we could spend the 3 1/2 hours in the wharf area amusing ourselves or is it better to get a bus into Fira?
Report Abuse
I can't imagine anything more boring than spending 3.5 hours at the Athinios port.....
Going to Fira sounds like a good idea to me -
Report Abuse
No the port is only a place where boats stop with a few car hire rentals,and the local bus comes down to meet the boat. But Fira is close by bus and easily reachable in this sort of timescale.
Having finally visited Santorini 4 years ago it is high up amongst one of the most beautiful places I have visited in the world although it took me 53 years get there!
Thank you for your help -

Tommmo, it is not a nice place to spend 3,5 hours.....
There are a few cafes there ( can't remember if there are restaurants as well, because i would never eat there.....)
I would go to Fira without second thoughts... -
Report Abuse
With just 3 hours there is not an awful lot of point in going to Fira or Oia, as you would very shortly be making your way back. There is quite a clag up of traffic down to the port so best not cut it too fine.
There are several places to eat, and cafes there at the port, don't see the big problem.
The bus to Fira is crammed to the roof, there's a lot to be said for just relaxing at the port.
If it's a rough crossing you may not want to move much. -
Report Abuse
Traffic can be horrendous coming down and/or going up the hill..Don't risk it..Grab a coffee, a wine, and chill out.

There's not much to do at the port, but I would not wander far. Santorini is the only island where we have ever missed our ferry. I would never take any chances there - it might be difficult to get transport back.
Report Abuse
Since the port really isn't a place I'd want to spend 3.5 hours, another option would be to take a taxi to Santo Winery. It's very close to the port and they have a nice tour/tasting you could do. They start with a video about the history of wine on Santorini and then a short tour of the facility followed by tastings. They have a HUGE patio that has multiple levels and gorgeous views over the caldera. They also have a nice shop to buy local products, etc. They have a small food menu where you could get a nice snack while having a glass of wine. I would say you could easily kill and enjoy 2.5-3 hours there.

After I initially posted, our booked crossing on Sea Jet was cancelled (the day we were due to depart). We were rebooked on the 9.45 from Heraklion which got us in to Santorini at 11.50. Until then we had decided that as we would have had about 5.5 hours to spare that we were going to hire a car and go to Akrotiri and also hopefully see the Ancient Thira Museum in Thira. It was going to solve the problem of what to do withour bags which was the principal reason I posted this question in the first place.
What we then decided to do as we now had 3 hours 40 only was to catch the bus to Thira to try and see the museum, leaving our bags somewhere in the port. We already had our reservation on the Blue Star Delos so the suggestion made by Heimdall wasn't an option.I intended to go in to the departure terminal to see if there were any lockers but when we arrived the terminal was heaving and I wouldn't have got in through the door. We also remembered that the bus to Thira had been full before and there hadn't been a second one so we got on it cases and all.
We saw the museum and they allowed us to leave our cases at the ticket counter. Then we headed to a cafe and eventually caught the 2.30 bus back to the port. Whilst waiting for the Blue Star I saw that one of the places at the port had a big sign on the roof offering luggage storage!
So that's what we did.
Thank you all from Naxos where it has rained today. -

Most ports of Greece are going to be sold by next year, i hope that the new owners will improve the ( non existing) facilities of most ports.
As for the weather... it should be cloudy on Naxos tomorrow with a high of 22 C, and it will rain on Friday....... -

Hi Frances,
Thanks for coming back to post your experiences. Unfortunately Sea Jets Consortium is continuing its habit of publishing timetables months in advance, then changing them at the last minute. They also cancelled the Easter sailings of their other small catamaran, SeaJet 2, which as far as I can tell is still laid up in a Piraeus shipyard.
If your itinerary includes travel with a Sea Jets catamaran it is wise to have a "Plan B". Fortunately for you, Frances, another ferry was available. Now all we have to do is wish for sunny weather on Naxos! -
Report Abuse
Ah yes, Sea Jet. It was in port in Heraklion on Monday night as we walked passed there on the way to our hotel. Then when we got to the port yesterday morning it had gone!
Guess what was in Santorini when we arrived?.... and when we left?
I hadn't mentioned that we had planned to go to Milos after two nights here in Naxos but the schedules weren't published until about two weeks ago. Then the boat from Milos was scheduled to arrivei n Piraeus at about 10.30. This was too late-both because we wanted an evening in Athens and also because this was the last boat before our flight home. I work in a port town and I am familiar with the limitations of fast ferries (which this was), meaning that there are times when the sea conditions stop them from going. Therefore we could miss our flight home.
Not that it is a hardship to spend longer here so we are using our days walking. Today we caught the bus to Halki and, using the "Walking on Naxos" book took a circular walk from there. It wax excellent for about half its length but then we came across three obstructions on the path which caused us to get lost. Doesn't matter we found our way back to Halki where we retired to the taverna whilst waiting for the bus -

can you elaborate for us what you mean by the ports will be sold by next year? To private enterprise? -

In 2013 415 cruise ships are scheduled to visit Santorini.
I've read an article about it, and Santorini had the biggest number of cruise ships than any other Greek port ( apart from Piraeus).
The Greek law was changed and many cruise lines have chosen Greek ports as their home ports, something that was impossible in the past due to many restrictions from the Greek authorities. This will bring more cruise ships to Greece.

nice...i wonder what this will change?? hmm...
Core i5 in the iPhone 5 must be just around the corner then...
Don't count on it.. intel has always sucked at mobile chipsets IMO. This is intel trying to become a player in a game that isn't theirs.
That would be awesome, but Intel biggest problem in the mobile computing realm has been heat and efficiency. I'm running a mobile core i7 on my E6510 and it gets hot as hell
That would be great to see!
I agree, but it sure has a nice ring to it, no?
Just cause intel bought this company doesn't mean they r going to start putting their pc
Chips in phones......that makes no since at all. If that were the case they would not have needed to buy this company.
FAIL... i hate intel :P their processors aren't nice, graphic cards are SH*T and their wifi cards....Awful...
i5 or i7 in the iphone sounds nice but they do have an issue with their heat issue. I wonder if their recent purchase of McAfee will take any affect into this.
Very cool can't wait to see what the future not just for iPhones but apple ingeneral has to offer.
It must be for the money. Hmm...
Core i7 on iPhone would be nice, but first, they need to resolve their heating issues.
I wouldnt think they would buy a company like that for that much if they didnt know anything about the market they are getting into.
They are not dumbasses to buy an whole company without any sort of thinking.
great more exploding iphones
There is no way the i5 or i7 will ever be in a phone. The i7 is a quad duo core chip. The heat would be fatal alone not to mention there isn't a mobile battery that could power it. This is a bold move during a huge recession(which should be called a depression), but if they get lucky they can at least add mobile phone processing to their huge portfolio.

ASU scores a 74 on Food Inspection Report Alabama State University students are upset after learning that their cafeteria may have roaches. The Fred Shuttlesworth Dining Hall received a score of 74 in their most recent food inspection. Now, students say they are worried about eating in there. "I heard there were roaches in the pizza area, dirty ice machines, and cheese below temperature degrees," student Leslie Knight tell us. "I heard that the cafeteria is real unsanitary," says student Derrick Moore. In the most recent Montgomery County Food Inspection, the Fred Shuttlesworth Dining Hall at Alabama State University scored a 74. In the report, a health inspector stated there was a presence of roaches, food not stored at the proper temperature and dirty ice machines. After the low health rating was issued, students received several statements from the school. The student government association issued a statement that reads in part "We met with Gourmet Services and they informed us that all leaks have been fixed, the freezer has been repaired, and the cafe will be sprayed twice a week by Pest Control." University President, Dr. William Harris also sent out a statement saying "Failure to receive a credible score during the next inspection will result in the university identifying a new food service provider." Late Wednesday, ASU's Vice President of University Relations Danielle Kennedy responded to the low rating. "The university is very displeased with the score that our current vender received," says Kennedy. "It appears to be an anomaly as over the past five scores, the average has been around a 94." State law requires that a health inspection score be placed in a visible location but we found the score tucked away behind both a sandwich counter and a tray rack. The health department says a score of 74 means unsatisfactory...and would require a follow up within 60 days. Still, students say they will continue to be wary of eating at their Dining Hall. "It makes me feel like I cant trust them with food," says ASU senior Ramsey Mccall. |

Jessie J was one of the boys at the "T4 Stars of 2011″ concert at London's Earls Court over the weekend. Rocking a captain's hat and an '80s T-shirt, the cheeky pop star performed her single "Do It Like a Dude," stomping her way into the arena from backstage. Jessie will return to the U.S. to tape "VH1 Divas Celebrates Soul" with Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, and more later this week.

Spring 2013 continues to take a slow journey toward summer. Chilly temperatures hold on – it dropped to 38 degrees early this morning – but weather forecasts promise warmer temperatures are moving into Connecticut. For this Garden Blogger's Bloom Day, sponsored by Carol at May Dreams Gardens, my gardens are dotted with typically early spring blooms and filled with promising buds.

Thank you...
it sure has a lot of bad reviews?
A lot of 'bad reviews' in the Market are people either not reading what the app/widget actually does, or expecting something that it never claimed to be. User error contributes. But there certainly are issues so I wouldn't dismiss them all Just use some scrutiny when reading reviews.
...or they don't "RTFM" :-)
Pure Calendar and Pure Messenger have been excellent apps for me, very well designed and powerful, IF you learn how to use them properly...
...hmmm sounds just like all the complaints we saw about the Droid in the beginning :-) Same thing applies, RTFM
Not yet, latest message on Twitter from Beautiful Widgets an hour ago..
"it's not definitive and I don't have a confirmation yet but some minor weather icon changes and they are reviewing the layout too "
Sounds like HTC is making him jump thru hoop after hoop, completely ridiculous.

I have been involved in photography in one capacity or another for most of my life. I was an avid photographer who studied, albeit briefly, with Harry Callahan and Aaron Siskind at RISD. I left photography as a profession in 1975 but have retained my passion. Over the years I have amassed a respectable collection of 20th century photography and, in recent years have resumed, in a quirky way, taking photos.

Raccoon Holler Campground
[ 10/10 ]
This was our first time camping here and we had another couple with us in their travel trailer. The hosts helped make our stay very nice and were very helpful giving instructions to places we wanted to go. It was conveniently located to the beautiful Frescos, the Blue Ridge Parkway, Boone, and other wonderful mountain locations to visit. The campground was quiet, friendly, and extremely clean. It was more than we expected. We will definitely go there again and highly recommend it to others. Everyone we met there was very friendly. It was a less than full weekend because it was the weekend before they were closing for the winter and they made apologies for the movement/storage of seasonal trailers, but we found the campground in great shape and everyone there was quite friendly.

Pictures By Me
All photos taken by me.
My Camera is a Nikon Coolpix P510
The story of why i decided to want to become a photographer is there was a huge wildfire not far at all from me and when it showed how massive it actually was, the only camera to rely on was 2 phone cameras that did not just do the job,
so next day i went and bought a panasonic lumix but by then it was too late.
later on i moved on to a Nikon coolpix P510 and i love it.

- In the past, we have relied on strength and steel to forge our way. We protect what we can, destroy what we must. But that is not the only way. If we are to ever restore this world, then there must come a time when the leaders of Azeroth are no longer the warriors, but instead the healers! Those who mend instead of those who break. Only then can we truly cure our deep ills and achieve lasting peace. Look above you! The heroes of old stand tall, and we honor and remember them well this day. But now look next to you! By your side, in this crowd, stand all the heroes of tomorrow! You… and you… and you. Each of you will play a part; each will make a difference; and in time, some will be honored on this day for deeds far greater than any we could possibly imagine! So, people of Stormwind! Let us unite this day. Let us renew our promise to uphold and protect the Light, and together we will face down this dark new storm and stand firm against it—as humanity always has… and humanity always will!
- - King Varian Wrynn
The Kingdom of Stormwind[1] (also called Kingdom of Azeroth[2]) is a human kingdom,[3][4] nation[5][6][7][8] and country[9] on the southern continent of the Eastern Kingdoms, Azeroth - with its capital at Stormwind City.[10] Originally settled by descendants of the Arathi,[8] Stormwind flourished until the First War when it was conquered and laid waste by the Orcish Horde. The survivors of that conflict, led by Anduin Lothar, sought refuge in Lordaeron, but were able to reclaim their homeland at the end of the Second War with the aid of the Alliance of Lordaeron.[11] Since the fall of Lordaeron during the Third War, the kingdom of Stormwind has become the strongest bastion of humanity and the most powerful force in the now multiracial Alliance.[12]
Stormwind is ruled by the House of Wrynn from their court at Stormwind Keep. Presently, the throne is occupied by King Varian Wrynn. Also aiding in the governing of Stormwind is the House of Nobles: the bureaucracy of Stormwind's government that currently aids the king in the running of the kingdom's day to day affairs.
Stormwind's control and influence now reaches across all of the continent of Azeroth but it is unknown if Stranglethorn Vale falls under its jurisdiction due to the multitudes of other factions each having some sort of claim to the land.
Contents |
The nation of Stormwind was originally founded approximately a millennium before the First War by the descendants of the Arathi bloodline, who had migrated south from the nation of Arathor.[13] Traveling past the rocky mountains of Khaz Modan, their journey finally ended after many long seasons, and they settled in the northern region of the continent they would name Azeroth. In a fertile valley they founded the kingdom of Stormwind, which quickly became a self-sufficient power in its own right.[14] It had a long and prosperous history, with the king served loyally by the knights of the Brotherhood of the Horse and the clerics of the Holy Order of Northshire Clerics. Prior to the First War, the Wrynn dynasty ruled over the entire kingdom.
War with the Orcs
Azeroth's idyllic existence was shattered with the opening of the Dark Portal and the invasion of the Orcish Horde. After which the kingdom waged a long and bloody war with the invading orcs. The cost was heavy. Many lives were taken; including both King Wrynn III and his son King Llane Wrynn.
Stormwind was reduced to ruins during the First War between orcs and humans. Anduin Lothar subsequently took on the mantle of regent lord and guided the refugee nation in the name of the young prince, Varian Wrynn. The city's survivors fled to Lordaeron, where the leaders of the seven kingdoms resolved to unify once again in the Alliance of Lordaeron. Under Anduin Lothar's charismatic leadership, the Alliance joined together and succeeded in defeating the Horde during the Second War.
Though Sir Lothar did not live to see it, the Alliance forces were able to take back the ruins of Stormwind City. With Stormwind under human control once again and serving as a strong base of operations, the Alliance eventually wrested most of Azeroth from the Horde's grip. The Alliance then set to rebuilding the ruined kingdom, calling on artisans and patrons to help fund or aid in the massive project. Many answered the call. Terenas Menethil[15], Mara Fordragon, Archbishop Alonsus Faol, and the Stonemasons Guild were all instrumental in the rebuilding process. Eventually, Stormwind City was rebuilt as New Stormwind sometime after the Second War. Meanwhile, King Varian led his people in the reacquiring and restoration of the kingdom's lost territories.[16] The territories reacquired split the kingdom into several unique regions, all of which have their own form of municipality. Though the regions are granted a certain degree of independence, all lands with in Stormwind are united under the Stormwind banner and have sworn fealty to the House of Wrynn. Stormwind City being the crown jewel of the kingdom, once again became the capital of the restored kingdom of Stormwind.[17]
Epicenter of Humanity
Tensions grew among the kingdoms, however, as the costs for maintaining the Alliance rose much higher than originally anticipated. Unwilling to pay the taxes, the leaders of Gilneas and Stromgarde chose to withdraw their kingdoms from the Alliance. King Varian Wrynn vowed to stand by King Terenas Menethil and remained committed to the Alliance, just as they have done for him.[15] Yet further disaster came when the kingdom of Lordaeron was decimated by a mysterious plague that killed thousands of humans and converted them into undead servants of the Lich King. Even Lordaeron's prince, Arthas Menethil, was manipulated by the Lich King, leading Arthas to kill his own father and journey to Northrend, where he merged with his master. For the next five years, the Lich King remained in Northrend, plotting and building up his armies.[12]
Since the fall of Lordaeron, the kingdom of Stormwind has become the strongest bastion of humanity and the most powerful force in the now multiracial Alliance. Now it holds one of the few remaining great human cities. It boasts a powerful city guard and a strong army, and it is a base of magical/divine study and contemplation in Azeroth.[4] With the fall of the northern kingdoms, Stormwind is by far the most populated city in the world. Boasting a population of two-hundred thousand people (predominantly human), it serves in many ways as the cultural and trade center of the Alliance, even with remote access to the sea. The humans living in the city are generally carefree and artistic, favoring light and colorful clothes, cuisine, and art.[citation needed] Led by King Varian Wrynn, the people of Stormwind hold fast to the principles of honor and justice as they defend their settlements and their families.[12]
Political Unrest
Though Stormwind offered what support and resources they could to the war effort in the northern kingdoms, they were also beset by their own internal problems. A disagreement between the Stonemasons and the House of Nobles set off a violent riot that led to the murder of Queen Tiffin Wrynn. The Stonemasons became the terrorist organization known as the Defias Brotherhood and sowed anarchy and terror in the lands of Stormwind for the next decade. King Varian Wrynn, shaken by his wife's death, fell into a great depression.[16] Lady Katrana Prestor took advantage of this opportunity and used politics and sorcery to politically outmaneuver the king in the coming years.[18] In time, King Varian was able to break out of his ensorcelled depression and slowly regained his political clout, with his son Anduin Wrynn being his primary inspiration.
Stormwind Reborn
One day King Varian was abducted by the Defias Brotherhood and the black dragon Onyxia, who disguised herself as Lady Katrana Prestor. Anduin Wrynn, the son of King Varian, was crowned king and reigned in the absence of his father for a few years. Anduin however, was too young to exercise any real political power and was governed by his co-regents, Lady Katrana Prestor and Highlord Bolvar Fordragon. For the past two years, Varian was robbed of his memories and enslaved by a Horde gladiatorial trainer in Kalimdor. Stormwind suffered much from Lady Katrana's machinations during his absence. The Dark Horde, now mysteriously allied with the Black dragonflight, have resumed their quest to conquer Azeroth. They have started their bold campaign by invading Redridge. Meanwhile, the beleaguered town of Darkshire has found itself besieged by worgen and undead. Westfall had fallen prey to the Defias Brotherhood and had taken the Deadmines as a base to plot and scheme the kingdom's demise. Fortunately, heroes of valor defended the kingdom against those who encroached upon it, and hunted down the subversive traitors who sought to destroy it from within. Varian Wrynn in the meanwhile fought his way to freedom, earning the nickname "Lo'Gosh," or "ghost wolf," while in battle. With the help of his comrades, he was able to recover his true identity, defeat Prestor and finally return to his throne.[19] On his return, he restored order to his lands and incarcerated any of the Defias that remained.
Later, Stormwind itself was attacked by the Scourge. King Varian created the Valiance Expedition to put an end to the Lich King. Members of the Horde and the Alliance launched separate campaigns in Northrend, and their efforts resulted in the Lich King's crushing defeat. Under King Varian's daring leadership, the humans of Stormwind led the Alliance to victory against the Lich King in Northrend.
Though victory was won over the dreaded Scourge, it came at a great cost. The costs of the war in the north have taxed some of the Stormwind citizens to the point of bankruptcy. The people of Westfall, who were just recovering from years of neglect and harassment from Defias bandits, fell on especially hard times after the war. Meanwhile, Stormwind City itself was attacked by the black dragon Deathwing, who's return brought about the Shattering and wrecked parts of Stormwind City. Transients who lost their homes and businesses from either Deathwing's attack or by hard times now congregate in Westfall. Vanessa VanCleef, daughter of the late Edwin Vancleef, took advantage of the discontent to revive the Defias Brotherhood. The once natural defenses buffering the kingdom from its enemies have cracked and left openings that were taken advantaged of. The Blackrock orcs have managed to sneak into Northshire through a break in the southern Elwynn Mountains. With the guidance of the dragon Darkblaze, the Dark Horde have also begun invading Redridge in force as well. Heroes of the Alliance arose to defend the kingdom and made sure these threats never threaten Stormwind again.
As the biggest patron of the Alliance, the kingdom of Stormwind continues to lead the Alliance in their never ending war against the threats to Azeroth and their perennial enemy, the Horde. Under King Wrynn's guidance, Stormwind hopes to usher an age of lasting peace.
Azeroth's description in Warcraft II manual
Leader: Regent Lord Anduin Lothar
Nation Color: Blue
Background: Before the coming of the Age of Chaos when the Portal was first opened, the kingdom of Azeroth was the mightiest of all Human nations. Ruled by the wise and just King Llane, Azeroth stood as a beacon of light and truth throughout the known world. After the First War, Azeroth and all of its lands were devastated by the Horde. With King Llane dead, Sir Lothar took charge of the shattered armies of Azeroth and led the survivors across the Great Sea to the shores of Lordaeron. King Terenas, ruler of Lordaeron, agreed to support the landless Azerothiens. The people of Azeroth settled near the Southshore region of Lordaeron, pledging their loyalty to the Alliance. Battle-hardened and brave, the last of the once great armies of Azeroth now seek retribution for the loss of their homeland.[citation needed]
Territory and Outposts of Stormwind
Following the victory of the Alliance of Lordaeron over the Horde, Stormwind was reclaimed and rebuilt as New Stormwind. The kingdom is currently split into several smaller territories, including the region of Stormwind.[20]
During the absence of King Varian Wrynn, co-regent Lady Katrana Prestor managed to sow discord among the various regions of Azeroth. In World of Warcraft, her true identity is revealed and her hold over Anduin Wrynn is broken. With Varian's return during the time of the war against the Lich King, the grand kingdom began to re-build with the threat of the Defias Brotherhood over and the many other problems that plagued the other territories slowly began to get back on top of things and maintain order. The region of Westfall seemed to officially re-join the Kingdom with the aid that was sent.
However this brief moment of progress was interrupted with the end of the war in Northrend and the recent Cataclysm that broke the world. The Kingdom now faces a more economical issue as the recent war now mounted with the Elemental War has seriously damaged the kingdoms economy. Many have become homeless and evicted forced to find work and a place to live. On the other hand the Kingdom itself has grown too.
- Stormwind - Total control; a kingdom;[4] ruled by the monarchy of the Wrynn dynasty.
- Elwynn Forest - Alliance; Under complete control of Stormwind and close enough to enjoy considerable Alliance guardianship; sends its criminals to Stormwind. The towns of Goldshire and Northshire Valley are this region's main hub.
- Westfall - Alliance; The region has officially re-joined the kingdom as one of its fiefdoms again. The Defias are no longer the controlling faction of the area with the balance of power shifting to the control of the kingdom. It has become a place of poverty however with commuters pouring in. The fortified town of Sentinel Hill is this region's main hub.
- Redridge Mountains - Alliance; under Stormwind's control;[21] the Stormwind army maintains a token presence here and handles Redridge's few crime problems. The town of Lakeshire is this region's main hub.
- Duskwood - Alliance; The kingdoms most southern region, under the protection of Stormwind but has its own democratic government and also has control of its own small military force Night Watch Militia. The town of Darkshire is this region's main hub. The Gilnean Worgen have settled in the region at Raven Hill to take care of the Worgen problem.
- Deadwind Pass - Under Jurisdiction; Although this region contains no faction encampment, the area itself falls under the control of the Kingdom of Stormwind.
- Burning Steppes - Under Jurisdiction; A region once part of the Redridge Mountains, it was blasted apart by Ragnaros when the Dark Iron Dwarves summoned him in hopes of winning the War of the Three Hammers. Although a fiery wasteland now and the kingdom has no use for such land, the ambitious young Morgan leads her militia with the prosperous idea of taking back the land of her people and building a new kingdom there to show the Alliance it still has potential. The land has no fixed settlement but for Alliance the outpost of Morgan's Vigil serves as the hub.
- Swamp of Sorrows - Contested; The area previously in the past was under the control of the Horde, since the Cataclysm though there has been an extreme power shift as the nation of Stormwind has become the main power in the region during the questing experience which results in the Horde being forced to flee the area. The Draenei have also officially claimed the Harborage after allying with the Broken there. Currently the army of Stormwind holds the power in the region from their base Marshtide Watch but the Draenei control the only alliance civilian village.
- Blasted Lands - Contested; After the Second War when Stormwind had been re-built and it began its campaign to re-build its kingdom once again. The kingdom felt it wise to construct Nethergarde Keep to watch over the Dark Portal for any new threats that might once again challenge the safety of the kingdom and the rest of the known world at the time. This effectivly made Stormwind the dominant power in the region for years to come. Since the cataclysm, the Horde have managed to construct a small fortress in western Blasted Lands and have started a senseless conflict with Nethergarde. Some Gilneans have also come to the region setteling in their new town of Surwich.
- Northern Stranglethorn Vale - Contested; The Kingdom of Stormwind at one point sent an expedition to expand to Stranglethorn Vale. The expedition established Kurzen's Compound, yet madness overtook Colonel Kurzen and he went rogue. Some of Colonel Kurzen's forces, still loyal to Stormwind, mutinied against Kurzen's treachery and established the Rebel Camp, a resistance force trying to reign in Kurzen's followers. Recently, Stormwind established another outpost known as Fort Livingston who also get help from their allies at the Explorers' League Digsite.
Khaz Modan
- Highbank - Serves as a base of operations for the Alliance in Twilight Highlands.
- Victor's Point - Foward command post for the Alliance against the Twilight Citadel.
- Chillwind Camp - With the fall of Southshore, this bustling foward base camp has become the only presence the kingdom has too preserving Lordaeron in its pre-Third War days. Although there are many other nations spread throughout the continent which were part of the old Alliance of Lordaeron who are loyal to Stormwind, they are not part of their kingdom. The nations that remain and are hell bent on protecting their land and ridding Lordaeron from the Forsaken once and for all are the humans of Stromgarde, the wildhammer dwarves of Aerie Peak and the humans and worgen of Gilneas.
Azuremyst Isle
- Valiance Keep - One of the two primary ports of entry for the Alliance in Northrend. It serves as the headquarters for the Valiance Expedition. The town of Farshire is also under its purview.
- Valgarde - An early established seaport, this rough settlement sits on the shores of Daggercap Bay.
- Westguard Keep - A well-fortified base of operations situated atop the Howling Fjord cliffs.
- Fort Wildervar - A fortified town nestled in the hills of Frostblade Peak.
- Fordragon Hold - The front line stronghold, spearheading the war at the Angrathar the Wrathgate
- Wintergarde Keep - Used as base of operations for the 7th Legion veteran forces. The lower half of this tiered city has been taken over by the Scourge.
- Amberpine Lodge - The Alliance logistics base camp responsible for operations in Grizzly Hills.
- Lion's Landing - The Alliance's main port of entry and base of operations in Pandaria. It serves as the headquarters for Operation: Shieldwall.

- When the kingdom was first introduced it was called "Azeroth",[22] this continued to be used[2][23][24] until the release of Warcraft: The Roleplaying Game where it was called "Stormwind".[3] After that both terms were used interchangeably.[6][9][25][26] It was revealed that the kingdom was called "Stormwind" since it was founded,[13][27] however, it is mostly called "Azeroth" during the First and Second Wars, and in history books about them.[28]
- In the human campaign of Warcraft: Orcs & Humans, the humans won the First War and in the orc campaign, the orcs won the First War. Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness and all later sources shows that the orc campaign is the true outcome, but with most of the events from the human campaign as being true.
- Along with Kul Tiras, Stormwind is one of the only humans kingdoms that hasn't been destroyed or has seceded from the Alliance. This is not including when the kingdom was named Azeroth, as Stormwind was infact destroyed in the First War.

Bobcats trade: Stephen Jackson, Boris Diaw, Matt Carroll, Gana Diop
Bobcats get: Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison
Suns trade: Vince Carter
Suns get: Boris Diaw, Gana Diop, Anthony Parker
Cavs trade: Antawn Jamison, Anthony Parker
Cavs get: Stephen Jackson, Matt Carroll
Why for the Cavs: Jackson is a little bit younger then Jamison. He probably has a few more years before he declines as a player and Jackson is under contract for a few more years so they don't have to worry about him leaving for greener pastures. If they Cavs draft a nice rookie having Jackson around could help them be competitive sooner rather then later. Matt Carroll has a bad contract but it is small enough that it doesn't hurt the Cavs salary situation.
Why for the Suns: The Suns are only a few games out of a playoff spot. Nash only has a few years left. Boris Diaw has had some success in their system before and this shakeup might get them over the hump. Anthony Parker fills a need at the two. Diop is the cost of the deal for the Suns but they are still well under the tax and under the cap for next year.
Why for the Bobcats: Jamison and Carter together give them a little more reliable scoring punch then the combo of Jackson and Diaw because Diaw can't be counted on for a certain number of points. The Bobcats are also on the edge of making the playoffs and this could put them over the top.
I posted this on real gm in the trade thread also. What do you guys think of this deal? Clears a ton of cap room for us by the summer of Dwight.
