Stormwind Guards are generally depicted in blue and gold armor, wielding a sword and shield. Their primary function is to patrol the city streets, providing security and dispensing basic information to players. They are known for their repetitive but iconic voice lines, often warning of potential threats or directing players to points of interest.
