Full History
Sentinel Hill emerged as a defensive center in Westfall after the western farmlands of Stormwind suffered repeated losses and abandonment. The kingdom's rebuilding had demanded costly work from its stonemasons, but the dispute over payment helped give rise to Edwin VanCleef and the Defias Brotherhood. Violence spread through places whose farmers depended on regular trade with the eastern capital.
As gangs and harvest machinery threatened families and roads, scattered residents needed protection beyond what the distant city could easily provide. The People's Militia rallied around Sentinel Hill to defend the countryside and hold together a community the crown struggled to secure. Their work was shaped as much by broken promises and economic hardship as by open combat.
The hill's history is inseparable from the question of what happens after a kingdom is rebuilt on paper. Stormwind had regained its walls, but rebuilding those walls had left grievances that crossed into the countryside. Sentinel Hill became a center of local resistance because farmers could not rely on the prestige of a restored capital to keep them safe.
