Infrastructure[]
Ministry Offices: The Ministry of State Security is headquartered within the Chamber of the Guardian, as one of several offices located within the Spire. Aptly situated within the center of the City and constructed to withstand a Legion assault, the Chamber serves as a suitable location for overseeing the security of Dalaran.
The Violet Hold: Among the ornate spires and enchanted streets of Dalaran lies the towering Violet Hold- the Kirin Tor's prison. Within, the city keeps criminals and forces of evil alike behind arcane barriers, each categorized into three different levels of security. It is arguably the most secure prison on Azeroth, being well-defended by might and magic alike. The Violet Hold is lead by the Warden of the Violet Hold.
The Violet Gate: The Violet Gate is operated by the Violet Gate Authority who is charged with enforcing Dalaran regulations regarding immigration and visitation, as well as the monitoring of imports and exports for illegal goods. The Violet Gate Authority is also responsible for the enforcement of the Teleportation and Portals Act, ensuring that there is no unauthorized entry into the City of Dalaran and that all visitors enter through the Violet Gate.
Dalaran Arcandome: As part of a series of security upgrades for the City of Dalaran, there has been put in place a heavy modulated temporal dissonance field around the City, except in and around the Violet Gate. This temporal dissonance field, also known as the “Arcandome,” will prevent teleportation into and out of Dalaran except through the Violet Gate. If the caster attempts to teleport into the City except through the Violet Gate, they will find themselves redirected to the Violet Gate, and any attempts to teleport out by the caster circumventing the Gate will find that their teleportation attempt categorically fails. In addition, with assistance from the Nightfallen, the Arcandome also protects against teleportation using telemancy, ensuring that space-time rifts are also blocked except to/from Violet Gate.
Note: that as a hidden redundancy to the Arcandome, any forced attempts to override the dissonance field will trigger a failsafe, and the caster will find that their teleportation spell is automatically redirected to a Level 2 holding cell within the Violet Hold for breach of the Teleportation & Portals Act, pending trial. Powered by several independent Saraphix Aurum Generators hidden in classified locations throughout the City, the Arcandome will thus be unaffected by attacks on the city itself, which include any forced siphoning of magical energy from the City proper. Those within the Cabinet are given the frequency of the Arcandome via their holobracers to allow for teleportation in and out of the city. In addition, State Security-approved telemancy beacons also allow for teleportation into the city as necessary. The Dalaran Arcandome was conceived out of a need to protect the City from unauthorized entry/exit, specifically to evade justice or commit another crime. Partially inspired by Jaina Proudmoore's warding of Darnassus prior to the Divine Bell incident, and more directly through the escape of a suspect from an arrest attempt, the Arcandome is designed to secure the city from similar setbacks again.
