The smell of the capital wow cities

Too be fair, alliance has space goats and like any other hoofed animal they tend to leave droppings everywhere they trott.

Feces pieces in Exodar.

That explains all the crystals everywhere

I imagine my kitchen garbage exudes the stench of a Mozart post….:stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

There is very little solid waste or feces in Orgrimmar. Our residents simply toss the garbage on one of the many bonfires throughout the city.

Unfortunately, this has led to adverse health effects from the ash and chemicals released by incineration.

A dank miasma of stank.

Some would call it disgusting.

We call it Waste Management.

Throw a few Vulpera in for fun?

Silvermoon has an even better disposal system.

Mage portals are located at various spots in the city. Residents simply toss in any refuse. We don’t know where it ends up, but it’s probably somewhere in Florida.

That’s why Florida reeks of sulfur.

This is a common bit of misinformation. Bathing was very common historically. That being said, Gnomergon wouldn’t smell like anything because it’s irradiated, and UC would smell like chemicals… because of the chemicals.

Undercity is my chemical romance.

Charles Dickens described London:

Smoke lowering down from chimney-pots, making a soft black drizzle, with flakes of soot in it as big as full-grown snowflakes—gone into mourning, one might imagine, for the death of the sun. Dogs, undistinguishable in mire. Horses, scarcely better; splashed to their very blinkers. Foot passengers, jostling one another’s umbrellas in a general infection of ill temper, and losing their foot-hold at street-corners, where tens of thousands of other foot passengers have been slipping and sliding since the day broke (if this day ever broke), adding new deposits to the crust upon crust of mud, sticking at those points tenaciously to the pavement, and accumulating at compound interest.

Mud was used as an euphemism for horse-sh*t. London’s population had doubled in under a hundred years and the number of horses was astonishing, that was a lot of “mud”. There were men who’d sweep away a path if a woman got out of a carriage and it even started a fashion because they’d lift up their long dresses; so the stockings shown became a fashion choice.

Org ain’t got nothing on Dicken’s London.

This pretty much mirrors my thoughts.

I don’t think about it. Who wants to think about how bo and body excrement smells in a desert environment? :face_vomiting:

Ps. As my husband used to say during long quest chains…“there’s no pooping in Warcraft!” :wink:

We all run around in all kinds of weather in the same armor/clothing that we rarely change. Every capital smells like BO, rotting leather, and mildew. Even Silvermoon.

Stormwind: Probably a mix of fresh sea air, manure and open sewage canals.
Ironforge: Sweat, Molten Metal, Sulfur, really really poor air quality (I lived near a smelting plant when I was younger and oh god the smells)
Gnomeregan: Metallic, with a taste of metal in every breath
Darnassus: Originally floral scents and natural woodsy smells. Now just smoky
Exodar: Ozone from the electricity I guess?
Gilneas: Toxic waste
Boralus: Fish, salty sea air, probably the nicest of alliance cities.

Horde Side: I got nothing

Well if you are going down this topic route I contend the smell isn’t that bad at all. You see it’s a world of magic and gnome engineers are a thing in that world also (I guess you could acknowledge goblin engineers but I was talking about the REAL engineers)…

My point being you’d think the many mages in the world would have research a spell to take care of odor. If they failed the engineers could likely devise some elaborate mega fan filtering system or something. I mean come on, mages can teleport vast distances and engineers invent flying machines but we cannot solve an odor issue?

Orgrimmar smells like bacon cooking. That’s good Orc food.

Probably smells like sadness, moldly bread, sulphur, and cookies
