(While the quest refers to the Stormwind Monarchy, I don't think its a name for the House of Nobles. It's likely referring to the king, which is the monarch.) |

The House of Nobles form the bureaucracy of the Kingdom of Stormwind and is under the direction of the ruling family: House of Wrynn. King Varian Wrynn currently occupies the throne and acts as the head of government. The House of Nobles is comprised of some of Stormwind's most powerful aristocratic bloodlines and positions in this governing body are typically inherited.[1] Presumably, they serve a legislative role as they are able to lobby for legislative issues [2] and serve as the judiciary branch for the kingdom as they are able to overrule regional elected officials on matters of law.[3][4]
They wield considerable power in the city, but less amongst the Alliance as a whole. They are mostly royal advisors who have major influence over business and labor in town, since they own much of the land. King Wrynn has learned not to let them push him around anymore.[5]
The House of Nobles is the stated enemy of the Defias Brotherhood. But at least some of the nobles supported them back when they were the Stonemasons Guild.
