Dalaran Ministry of War

The Dalaran Ministry of War is one of the five ministries of the Magus Senate of Dalaran. The MoW is responsible for the military actions undertaken by the Senate. The MoW is also responsible for the planning and execution of field expeditions, deployments, and observations while acting as a front-line defense for other magi in the field. The MoW works closely with the other ministries to provide for their safety in the field.

Since the invasion of the Iron Horde, the Ministry of War has been fully activated and now wields the wartime powers to dictate how to proceed.
