Dalaran

[Established Lore] What the game has always held to be true.

City - Eastern Kingdoms

Region: Eastern Kingdoms

Level Range: City

Control: The Kirin Tor

Overview

Dalaran is the city of the mages, the seat of the Kirin Tor and the old capital of the Kingdom of Dalaran. The Council of Six ruled it, and Antonidas was its archmage. [Game · Zone: Dalaran] [WCIII]

In Forever, Dalaran stands in the Alterac Mountains, and it is not hidden. [New in Forever] That alone is big news. For years the city has been a memory, and a ruin. Now you can walk to it.

The Kirin Tor

The Kirin Tor is the council of mages that governs the city. Its members guard arcane knowledge and send watchers across the old kingdom, and some of those watchers are as far afield as Ambermill in Silverpine Forest. [Game · Quest: Dalaran's Intentions] [Game · Quest: Dalaran Patrols]

The Skyborne Connection

A skycutter ship runs from Zephras Isle to Dalaran, where new Skyborne meet Danaaris Stargale. [New in Forever] [Game · Quest: The Magical City of Dalaran]

Dalaran and the Land Around It

  • The Alterac Mountains, where the city stands. See the Alterac Mountains page.
  • Ambermill in Silverpine Forest, held by Dalaran mages.
  • Old Dalaran, in the Kingdom's past.

Playing a Dalaran Mage

  • A Dalaran mage can be from the city, or from the old kingdom. Both are fair.
  • Do not make the Kirin Tor all-knowing. They have rivals, secrets and limits.
  • We do not yet know the full layout of the city in Forever. When Blizzard shows us, we will update this page.

More to come soon.
