Dalaran Crater
From WoWWiki
- This article is about the location in the Alterac Mountains. For lore appearances and history, please see Dalaran.
Dalaran Crater is an area in the Alterac Mountains located at the west end, on the shores of Lordamere Lake. It is north of the Lordamere Internment Camp and just east of Silverpine. It is a massive crater at the original location of the city of Dalaran, which was destroyed during the Third War. The region is still patrolled by Dalaran wizards and their rock elemental minions, who are leveled in their mid thirties. The NPCs around the crater are friendly to the Alliance and hostile to the Horde.

In Wrath of the Lich King
Prior to World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, Dalaran was represented by a large purple dome with ruined buildings set up around and protruding from it. Players could not physically walk through the barrier, though hunters' Eagle Eye and shamans' Far Sight could see inside (and even then, it was only plain ground inside the dome).
When Dalaran lifts off in order to fly over Northrend, some have wondered what will happen to the previous location on the southern shores of Lake Lordamere. A large, gaping crater remains, still surrounded by the dome (now nearly transparent), with some purplish haze around the site — possibly residue from the city's (literally) earth-shaking exit. Members of the Kirin Tor will remain at the old site to explain the move.[citation needed]
