Dalaran

Dalaran (or the City of Dalaran and Dalaran City, pronounced DAHL-uh-RAWN) is the capital of the magocratic nation of the same name. The city's inner fortress has served as the focal point for magi and the study of the arcane throughout human history.
Prior to the Third War, Dalaran was the home of an incredibly large library of books and tomes, in addition to many of the greatest sorcerers of the day including Archmage Antonidas, Khadgar, Jaina Proudmoore, Arugal and Kel'Thuzad. However after the Scourge was unleashed upon the land, one of their primary targets was Dalaran. The city was defended by Dalaran Guard Towers and archmagi, but was ultimately destroyed following the summoning of Archimonde to Azeroth. The great demon single-handedly laid waste to the city by creating a magical effigy out of the dust, which he then crushed; the mighty towers of Dalaran fell simultaneously. Soon after the defeat of the Burning Legion, however, Alliance forces under the command of Grand Marshal Garithos regained the ruins of the city; some refugees from Lordaeron eventually made their way there as well.
The surviving magi of the Kirin Tor later returned with the intent of rebuilding, and erected a large, magical time-and-space distortion field around the city to ward off a new attack while they slowly regained their strength. The shield is opaque and completely impenetrable by any known means. Now the lands around the ruins of Dalaran are the site of a guerilla war between the Alliance and the Forsaken.
Today, the main city of Dalaran still appears to be hiding behind the shield that the Kirin Tor had erected. It is not known what the wizards are doing within, but rumors abound. Wowpedia - 
==Trivia==
*In World of Warcraft, Dalaran was "hidden" behind a magic dome in the Alterac Mountains region. In Wrath of the Lich King, it was revealed that the area behind the dome was empty and was replaced with the Dalaran Crater since the city had then been added in Northrend.
