Kirin Tor
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In the fictional Warcraft Universe, the Kirin Tor were the ruling body of the magocratic societies of Dalaran, based in the Violet Citadel, before the downfall of the Kingdom of Lordaeron. Kirin Tor is also the name of a World of Warcraft server located in the central USA and of another server located in western Europe.
The Kirin Tor, led by the most powerful mages in the world, founded the nation of Dalaran as a place to study and teach the ways of magic.
Many notable wizards and sorcerers belong in their ranks, including Archmage Khadgar, Archmage Antonidas, Lady Jaina Proudmoore, and Rhonin.
One of the ruling members of the Kirin Tor, Kel'Thuzad, left the order because they restricted the study of necromancy. Because of the restrictions which he considered foolish, Kel'Thuzad left for Northrend after receiving the Lich King's mental summons.
During the third war, Archimonde, a demon lord of the Burning Legion singlehandedly annihilated the city of Dalaran in a display of power. The Kirin Tor have since returned with the intention of rebuilding.
