Capital

For the capital city of the kingdom of Lordaeron, see Capital City.

Capital cities are typically the main headquarters of factions and organizations. They are usually the largest of the faction's cities, and where their leaders usually reside.

Gameplay capitals

These are capital cities that function as major social and economical hubs for players, and must contain a bank, flight path, mailbox, inn, and at least class and profession trainers, an auction house, or a faction leader.
