Magocracy of Dalaran

Dalaran was one of the seven human kingdoms to join the Alliance of Lordaeron during the Second War. It was located to the west of the snowy regions of the Alterac Mountains, in the grassy foothills to the north of the farming community of Hillsbrad.

History
Dalaran was one of the original city-states founded during the time of the Arathorian empire. Since then, it has become a hub of magical knowledge in Lordaeron and the rest of the world. Ruled by the Council of Six from the Violet Citadel, Dalaran was a powerful nation, lending aid, mages and sorcerers to the war effort during the Second War.

Second War
During the Second War, Dalaran pledged themselves to the Alliance of Lordaeron, sending them large amounts of help. It was attacked by orcs under Teron Gorefiend for the Eye of Dalaran, but was later rebuilt. It housed an incredibly large library, containing books on almost everything, was the home of some of the greatest sorcerers of Azeroth, including Archmage Antonidas, Khadgar and Jaina Proudmoore.

Third War and Reconstruction
It was ultimately destroyed during the Third War, during a Scourge attack led by former prince Arthas Menethil. The mages led a valiant battle, but were ultimatly defeated. Soon after the Scourge left the area, Grand Marshal Garithos retook the ruins from the stragglers. Survivors started to return and began the reconstruction of the city, which took until the War against the Lich King. The area surrounding the ruins became a target for Forsaken skirmishes.

Dalaran had forces stationned in the nearby town of Ambermill, from which they assured Alliance power in Silverpine, the and watched the Dark Portal from the towers of Nethergarde Keep.

During the reconstruction, Archmage Rhonin Redhair was chosen to lead the Council of Six and led the Kirin Tor until his demise in the Bombing of Theramore. He chose neutrality, allowing the Horde sanctum in the city, thanks to the Sunreavers' vouching, and the fact that at least three of Dalaran's best wizards have had good dealings with the Horde in the past.

Purge of Dalaran
With the theft of the Divine Bell by Sunreaver forces, Jaina Proudmoore expelled the Horde from Dalaran in the Purge of Dalaran and pledged the Kirin Tor to the Alliance.
