Dalaran

Dalaran, also known as Dalaran City, is a Magocratic city-state founded on the southern bank of the Lordamere Lake in the Alterac Mountain range almost 3,000 years ago. Founded upon a massive ley-line by a collaboration of Elven and recently trained Human Wizards, Dalaran has become a Haven for Magi across Azeroth. 
With the beginning of the War against the Lich King, The Mages of Dalaran used their powers to lift the City from the ground and position it floating over Crystalsong Forest in the center of Northrend in order to more effectively wage war against The Scourge and Blue Dragonflight. Dalaran and its Violet Citadel have served as a centerpiece of arcane study for much of Human history. The City-state's national color is Violet, and it's emblem is a Golden Eye set across a Violet Field.
==History==
Dalaran was one of several cities and kingdoms that emerged as the Empire of Arathor fell into decline. Before Dalaran,most human Magi lived in Strom and its Tower of Arathor. Many fledgling wizards left the confines of Strom and traveled to Dalaran, hoping to develop their powers with greater freedom. More wizards followed over time, and the city became a haven for Magi and a center of Arcane Study. The citizens of Dalaran accepted the Wizard's open practice of magic and soon developed a prosperous society around it. 
==The Kirin Tor==
Following Dalaran's establishment, the Magocracy formed the Kirin Tor as an inter-racial council charged with cataloguing every spell, enchantment, artifact and other matters arcane in existence. The Kirin Tor became the ruling power in the city. Their headquarters was the Violet Citadel, an impressive spire named for the violet light reflected off of it. An inner council was convened, named the Council of Six, to lead the Kirin Tor in its affairs.
==The Mages' Union & Sorcerors' League==
Alongside the Kirin Tor, there had been two other organizations, prior to Dalaran's destruction, that had aided in the cataloging of spells and preservation of magical artifacts found across Azeroth. They were known as the Mages' Union, an agency notorious for it's strict apprenticeship policies and challenging tutelage; as well as the Sorcerors' League, which was dedicated to the mysterious and rather entertaining quality of the arcane, far more lax in comparison to the Mages' Union and Kirin Tor.
