The Dalaran Ministry of Defense is one of the several ministries of the Magus Senate of Dalaran. The defense ministry is responsible for the military actions undertaken by the Senate. The ministry 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 personnel of the defense ministry work closely with other organizations within the senate to provide for their safety in the field.
Previously only active during times of conflict, since the invasion of the Iron Horde, the Ministry of Defense has been fully established and now wields the wartime powers to dictate how to proceed. This newfound power has been used to establish alliances with other battle ready factions and place Dalaran squarely within the military infrastructure of the Grand Alliance.
