Lion's Rest



Lion's Rest is a subzone of Stormwind City, built over the site of the former Park and Old Barracks, previously destroyed by Deathwing.

Lion's Rest is a peaceful place dedicated to reflection which commemorates the late King Varian Wrynn as well as those who fell in battle to defend the Alliance. The monument there does not contain the body of the King, as it could not be recovered. King Anduin Wrynn often uses this place to address his people on solemn occasions.

After completing The Fallen Lion, Lion's Rest phases and becomes a cenotaph for King Varian Wrynn after he was slain at the Broken Shore, as well as the site of a monument to Stormwind's fallen.

The Uncrowned's Shadowblade, Taoshi, and Mathias Shaw sneaked through the area in order to get to the SI:7 building and reveal Detheroc.

Guard description
Lion's Rest is a place of contemplation and remembrance, a tranquil park dedicated in honor of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf.

Translation
The monuments surrounding the tomb are written in a variation of the real world runic alphabet, Elder Futhark. This is not the first time that Elder Futhark has been used to represent Common.
