||
+ | The '''Kirin Tor''' (aka '''Magus Senate'''<ref name="MS">{{questlong|Neutral|68|Contact from Dalaran}}</ref> or '''Magus Senate of Dalaran'''<ref name="MS" />) is a [[lawful neutral]] collection of the most powerful [[mage (lore)|mage]]s on Azeroth. The organization is a faction in ''[[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]]''. |
||
+ | ==History== |
||
+ | Following the establishment of the city-state of [[Dalaran]], the [[magocracy|magocrats]] formed the Kirin Tor as a specialized sect that was charged with cataloging and researching every spell, artifact, and magic item known to mankind at the time. |
||
+ | The Kirin Tor became the city’s ruling power. The Kirin Tor’s headquarters was the [[Violet Citadel]], an impressive building so named for its stone walls which gave off a faint violet light. The ruling council, six members in all, met in the Chamber of the Air, a room with no visible walls — the gray stone floor with its central diamond symbol stood beneath an open sky that shifted and changed rapidly, as if the time sped past within the chamber. |
||
− | '''BlizzCon''' (or '''Blizz'''ard '''Con'''vention) is a celebration of the [[Warcraft]], [[Starcraft]] and [[Diablo]] franchises and the communities that surround them. The event contains Q&A panels featuring Blizzard developers, social events for fans and developers to meet one another, previews of new and upcoming Blizzard games and tournaments featuring Starcraft, Warcraft III and [[Arena PvP System|World of Warcraft Arenas]]. |
||
+ | Even the Kirin Tor, however, found itself powerless to stop [[Prince Arthas]] and his forces when he led the [[Scourge]] through [[Lordaeron]]. Arthas acquired the spellbook of [[Medivh]] and [[Kel'Thuzad]] used it to summon [[Archimonde]], who destroyed Dalaran. The city was left in ruins. Some felt the devastation was well-deserved, since Kel’Thuzad had himself been one of the Kirin Tor (before he left to form the [[Scholomance]]). Since Kel’Thuzad was responsible for creating the [[Plague of Undeath]] and releasing the Scourge upon the world, many felt the Kirin Tor should share in the blame and the consequences. |
||
− | == Past BlizzCons == |
||
+ | The Kirin Tor refused to abandon their home, however. They returned to the ruins months later, destroying those few undead creatures that remained, and reclaimed their city. They erected a glowing dome around the entire city, powerful enough to destroy anyone who touches it, while they worked to rebuild their fallen city.<ref name="APG 154">''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg. 154</ref><ref name="APG 155">''[[Alliance Player's Guide]]'', pg. 155</ref> |

||
− | *[[BlizzCon 2008]] |
||
+ | [[Patch 3.0.2|Eventually]], the mages were able to lift the whole city from its site, leaving only a [[Dalaran Crater|crater]] in its place. The Kirin Tor decided to move their floating city to [[Northrend]], where they still rule over the reconstructed Dalaran. |
||
− | == Convention Information == |
||
+ | ==Organization== |
||
− | For the past two events BlizzCon has been hosted at the [[wikipedia:Anaheim Convention Center|Anaheim Convention Center]] California, Lasting 10am till 10pm for two days generally Friday to Saturday. |
||
+ | The Kirin Tor is also referred to as the '''Magus Senate''' or '''[[Magocracy]]''' of [[Dalaran]]. It is made up of 120 members.<ref name="APG 154" /> They are divided in several levels of importance and influence. |
||
+ | The Kirin Tor has a ruling council of six archmagi, sometimes known as the [[Council of Six]].<ref name="APG 155" /> One of the members of the council is appointed the Head or the Leader of the Kirin Tor. He is seen as "Kirin Tor's true ruler, and the Sect's public face".<ref name="APG 155" /><ref name="ToD 45">''[[Tides of Darkness]]'', pg 45</ref><ref name="ToD 73">''[[Tides of Darkness]]'', pg. 73</ref> Except for the Head of the Kirin Tor, the rest of the ruling council member's identities are kept secret from everyone outside the council, with few exceptions. |
||
− | The $100 ticket cost gets entry to the convention hall for the two days of the event and an exclusive "Goodie Bag" which contained things like in-game prizes for World of Warcraft players, [[Beta Trial]] keys for upcoming Blizzard games, [[World of Warcraft Trading Card Game]] Cards and other exclusive Blizzard Swag. The tickets are often sold out within days of going on sale. |
||
+ | The Archmage [[Antonidas]] held the position of Head of the Kirin Tor for a long time. After his death at the hands of [[Arthas]], he was succeeded by [[Ansirem Runeweaver]].<ref>''[[Lands of Conflict]]'', pg. ??</ref> With the war against the [[blue dragonflight]] under [[Malygos]] beginning and the war with the [[Scourge]] intensifying, [[Rhonin]] replaced Runeweaver as leader of the Kirin Tor. |
||
+ | Beneath the ruling council are the [[archmage|archmagi]], each of whom is given tasks as the council sees fit. Archmagi do not hold specific positions or responsibilities, beyond the general loyalty to the Kirin Tor and to the world, and the standing obligation to study new human magic whenever it appears. In reality, however, some archmagi have been given the same tasks so often they have essentially assumed responsibility for those jobs. Thus one archmage might be in charge of cataloging all wands, while another handles researching and cataloging all illusions. Several work to monitor and maintain the city’s protective dome.<ref name="APG 155" /> |
||
− | === Big Reveals === |
||
+ | Magi are the lowest members of the Kirin Tor, and answer to the archmagi. Any archmage in the sect can issue orders to a mage, provided the instructions still fit within the organization’s goals. As with archmagi, however, most magi settle into specific positions and tasks and work exclusively for one archmage. The ruling council can change this at any time but rarely does so, unless they feel a mage has become a problem in his current position, or if they need him for a different task. Most magi are allowed the freedom to pursue their tasks and studies in whatever manner they choose. Despite the fact that they are the lowest members in the hierarchy, many magi possess great power.<ref name="APG 155" /> |
||
− | Blizzard has in the past liked to save announcements about upcoming games for the next Blizzcon. Both World of Warcraft expansions, [[World of Warcraft: The Burning Crusade]] and [[World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King]] were announced at BlizzCon. |
||
+ | Though their numbers have diminished, the remaining members of the Kirin Tor still rule over the remains of Dalaran. |
||
− | {{BlizzCon}} |
||
+ | One of the tasks of the Kirin Tor was to safeguard and wield the [[Eye of Dalaran]] in defense of their city. However, it was captured by the [[Horde]] for [[Ner'zhul]], shortly after the end of the [[Second War]]. |
||
− | [[Category:BlizzCon]] |
||
+ | |||
+ | ==Membership== |
||
+ | Before the [[Scourge]] came, any human mage was welcome in [[Dalaran]]. They found peers and a place to stay and to work in peace. Magi with an eye for detail and a strong focus on research were offered membership in the Kirin Tor. This process could take anywhere from a few months to several years — the ruling council did not invite magi until it was sure of their abilities and allegiances. The Kirin Tor became even more cautious about admittance after [[Kel'Thuzad]] defected and took many other magi with him.<ref name="APG 155" /> |

||
+ | |||
+ | Most classes start at a {{reputation|neutral}} standing with the Kirin Tor. [[Mage]]s, however, automatically start at {{reputation|friendly}} level with them. Because of this, it is possible for a mage to obtain the [[Tabard of the Kirin Tor]] at level 1. |

The Kirin Tor (aka Magus Senate[1] or Magus Senate of Dalaran[1]) is a lawful neutral collection of the most powerful mages on Azeroth. The organization is a faction in World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King.
History
Following the establishment of the city-state of Dalaran, the magocrats formed the Kirin Tor as a specialized sect that was charged with cataloging and researching every spell, artifact, and magic item known to mankind at the time.
The Kirin Tor became the city’s ruling power. The Kirin Tor’s headquarters was the Violet Citadel, an impressive building so named for its stone walls which gave off a faint violet light. The ruling council, six members in all, met in the Chamber of the Air, a room with no visible walls — the gray stone floor with its central diamond symbol stood beneath an open sky that shifted and changed rapidly, as if the time sped past within the chamber.
Even the Kirin Tor, however, found itself powerless to stop Prince Arthas and his forces when he led the Scourge through Lordaeron. Arthas acquired the spellbook of Medivh and Kel'Thuzad used it to summon Archimonde, who destroyed Dalaran. The city was left in ruins. Some felt the devastation was well-deserved, since Kel’Thuzad had himself been one of the Kirin Tor (before he left to form the Scholomance). Since Kel’Thuzad was responsible for creating the Plague of Undeath and releasing the Scourge upon the world, many felt the Kirin Tor should share in the blame and the consequences.
The Kirin Tor refused to abandon their home, however. They returned to the ruins months later, destroying those few undead creatures that remained, and reclaimed their city. They erected a glowing dome around the entire city, powerful enough to destroy anyone who touches it, while they worked to rebuild their fallen city.[2][3]
Eventually, the mages were able to lift the whole city from its site, leaving only a crater in its place. The Kirin Tor decided to move their floating city to Northrend, where they still rule over the reconstructed Dalaran.
Organization
The Kirin Tor is also referred to as the Magus Senate or Magocracy of Dalaran. It is made up of 120 members.[2] They are divided in several levels of importance and influence.
The Kirin Tor has a ruling council of six archmagi, sometimes known as the Council of Six.[3] One of the members of the council is appointed the Head or the Leader of the Kirin Tor. He is seen as "Kirin Tor's true ruler, and the Sect's public face".[3][4][5] Except for the Head of the Kirin Tor, the rest of the ruling council member's identities are kept secret from everyone outside the council, with few exceptions.
The Archmage Antonidas held the position of Head of the Kirin Tor for a long time. After his death at the hands of Arthas, he was succeeded by Ansirem Runeweaver.[6] With the war against the blue dragonflight under Malygos beginning and the war with the Scourge intensifying, Rhonin replaced Runeweaver as leader of the Kirin Tor.
Beneath the ruling council are the archmagi, each of whom is given tasks as the council sees fit. Archmagi do not hold specific positions or responsibilities, beyond the general loyalty to the Kirin Tor and to the world, and the standing obligation to study new human magic whenever it appears. In reality, however, some archmagi have been given the same tasks so often they have essentially assumed responsibility for those jobs. Thus one archmage might be in charge of cataloging all wands, while another handles researching and cataloging all illusions. Several work to monitor and maintain the city’s protective dome.[3]
Magi are the lowest members of the Kirin Tor, and answer to the archmagi. Any archmage in the sect can issue orders to a mage, provided the instructions still fit within the organization’s goals. As with archmagi, however, most magi settle into specific positions and tasks and work exclusively for one archmage. The ruling council can change this at any time but rarely does so, unless they feel a mage has become a problem in his current position, or if they need him for a different task. Most magi are allowed the freedom to pursue their tasks and studies in whatever manner they choose. Despite the fact that they are the lowest members in the hierarchy, many magi possess great power.[3]
Though their numbers have diminished, the remaining members of the Kirin Tor still rule over the remains of Dalaran.
One of the tasks of the Kirin Tor was to safeguard and wield the Eye of Dalaran in defense of their city. However, it was captured by the Horde for Ner'zhul, shortly after the end of the Second War.
Membership
Before the Scourge came, any human mage was welcome in Dalaran. They found peers and a place to stay and to work in peace. Magi with an eye for detail and a strong focus on research were offered membership in the Kirin Tor. This process could take anywhere from a few months to several years — the ruling council did not invite magi until it was sure of their abilities and allegiances. The Kirin Tor became even more cautious about admittance after Kel'Thuzad defected and took many other magi with him.[3]
Notable Leaders
History | Invasion of the Scourge | Reconstruction | War against the Lich King | |
---|---|---|---|---|
Ruler | Antonidas | Ansirem Runeweaver | Rhonin |
Reputation
Aside from championing, Kirin Tor reputation can also be gained by completing Dungeon and Heroic Dungeon dailies, and Dalaran (cooking, jewelcrafting and fishing) dailies.
Most classes start at a neutral standing with the Kirin Tor. Mages, however, automatically start at friendly level with them. Because of this, it is possible for a mage to obtain the [Tabard of the Kirin Tor] at level 1.
