There are just a lot more prevalent wars in Stormwind that would probably have turned their army into a more seasoned fighting force than those lands up north where the human kingdoms didn’t seem to significantly war against each other and nobody alive had seen a hostile non-human army on the march in hundreds of years. Meanwhile, Stormwind was basically still a growing kingdom settling new lands even when Llane was prince, which was what led to their war against the Gurubashi. Otherwise it comes across like post-war Arathor did a fairly splendid job of taming the northern subcontinent such that even after it split into multiple kingdoms, none of them had been forced to deal with any serious existential threats until the orcs showed up. 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.
