Dalaran Mission to the Kingdom of Stormwind

The **Dalaran Mission to the Kingdom of Stormwind**, more commonly known as the Dalaran Embassy in Stormwind, is the diplomatic mission of the Magocracy of Dalaran to the Kingdom of Stormwind. It is located in the Canal District of the Mage Quarter in Stormwind City. The embassy in Stormwind is the largest embassy the Magocracy maintains in the Eastern Kingdoms. The embassy complex is made up of two buildings with a walled in courtyard in between the two.

## Embassy Complex

### Office

The largest building, known as 'The Office', in the embassy complex is a three story brownstone that faces out to the Mage Quarter Canal Street. The banner of the Kirin Tor features prominently on the front of the building and a plaque with the Eye of Dalaran symbol and the words 'Embassy of Dalaran' is fastened right next to the door. The building holds the office of the ambassador to Stormwind as well as the offices of the various officers and attaches that are assigned to work at the embassy. The first floor lobby also include the security of the embassy which is usually a couple of battle magi on rotation. The embassy in Stormwind is the Dalaranian embassy with the highest number of security incidents and the Dalaran Ministry of Foreign Affairs has asked for heightened security measures to be taken there. The office building also has a large meeting room for hosting dignitaries.

### Courtyard

The inner courtyard is walled off from the alley that runs alongside it and features a small walkway and garden. It has been the sight of several garden parties that the ambassadors hold for dignitaries. The plants in the garden are a mixture of useful alchemy ingredients and regular flowers. The only way to access the courtyard is by entering it from either building, there is not entrance from the alley the runs alongside it. The exterior of the wall facing the alley was warded in the year 41 L.C. to splash any liquid that falls on it back outward in the direction it came. This is due to the many drunks that would pee on the wall after the bars in the Mage Quarter let out.

### Residence

The second building, known as the 'residence', is a three story brownstone. Despite its name it is mostly made up of additional offices for the staff though there are quarters for resting in the basement and on the third floor of the building. This building also has a kitchen for use by the staff of the embassy. This building is set further back into the Mage Quarter from the Canal District and has a door leading into the streets of the Mage Quarter proper, however this door is only used by embassy staff and is mostly kept locked and warded. Most staff end up renting their own residences or commuting via teleportation to work.

## Ambassadors

The ambassador is the leading diplomat of the Magocracy in Stormwind and represents the Violet City to the various government institutions and civil society of the Kingdom. The Ambassador to Stormwind is one of the most prestigious jobs in the Dalaran Foreign Service. It has been held by a number of prominent Dalaranians. Including but not limited to:

* Zanbor Emerson
* Marge Jenkins
* Anrayne Sunderstar
* Grayce Maymont
* Mary Shadowpaw
* Malidus Ar'nareth

The ambassadorship is currently vacant and rumor is that the Senate is struggling to fill the role. Embassy staff and Ministry officials have been filling in as needed.

## Embassy Staff

The Dalaran Mission to Stormwind is the largest diplomatic mission in terms of personnel the Magocracy currently maintains. It has a staff of about 35 people, including the security. The staff include political, economic, trade, and foreign aid officers. It also include attachés from the ministries in Dalaran such as State Security, Defense, and Academics. There is also a contingent of a dozen battle magi who specialize in security and who work in rotational shifts to keep watch over the embassy and the staff. There are a few administrative staff who are hired from the local populace of Stormwind to work in clerical and administrative roles.

## Consular Jurisdiction

The Dalaran Mission to the Kingdom of Stormwind has consular jurisdiction for the entirety of the Kingdom of Stormwind. This includes the City of Stormwind, the Pronvinces of Westfall, Elwynn Forest, Redridge Mountains, and Duskwood. The Dalaran Mission to Stormwind also has consular jurisdiction over Stranglethorn Vale (excluding Booty Bay), the Swamp of Sorrows, and Deadwind Pass (excluding Karazhan and the village which is a World Magical Heritage Site.) The Mission also had consular jurisdiction over the Blast Lands during the time Nethergarde Keep was abandoned. The Embassy maintains consular duties with these far flung areas mostly through the post, but embassy staff will occasionally make trips out to the provinces when needed.

## Diplomacy

The Dalaran Mission in Stromwind mainly communicates with the Stormwind Ministry of Foreign Affairs as all foreign nations do. However, it also maintains a strong relationship with the the Ministry of Magical Affairs and the Ministry of Commerce. The embassy staff have frequent talks and letter exchanges with the staff from these ministries.

The Dalaran Mission is also open to the Stormwind public who are welcome to come get information on Dalaran and the Kirin Tor. The embassy offers Stormwind citizens a way to make plans to visit the city for business, educational, and tourism reasons. It also allows for people to visit should they have magical concerns that they feel need the attention of the Kirin Tor.
