And in Beyond the Dark Portal it says it was mainly a charity case, so someone screwed up some writting here. "When finally their work was complete, they gathered outside the House of Nobles to receive their payment, only to find that the nobles had never intended to pay them, and that they had thought the Stonemasons' work was out of charity. The leader of the Stonemasons, Edwin VanCleef, demanded that the Guild be paid for its work, but the nobles flatly refused. Outraged, VanCleef riled the Stonemasons into a frenzy, and soon riots broke out that spread throughout the whole city, the Stonemasons vandalizing the very buildings they had just finished. Soon the chaos got out of hand, and a stray stone struck the queen of Stormwind, Tiffin Wrynn, on the head, killing her instantly."

This quote is not from the Beyond the Dark Portal, I use that as a reference that Nethergarde was rebuilt as charity, so its not much of a leap to think Stormwind was as well. So one of these books is wrong, I'm trying to find where the quote from above came from, I have it in my Warcraft Lore pad(yes I am that big of a lore nerd) , but forgot to list its location, appologise as I look for its origin.
