The elven population of the Kirin Tor underwent something of a split: the portion of the elves who converted to the [[blood elven]] philosophy took up the name "the [[Sunreavers]]," named for their leader, [[Aethas Sunreaver]], the only non-human on the [[Council of Six]]. Conversely, some [[high elven]] members opposed the notion of allowing the sin'dorei back into the Kirin Tor's ranks, and formed the [[Silver Covenant]] to oppose it. Its leader, [[Vereesa Windrunner]], however, held no political sway within the city, thus leading to the blood elves officially being readmitted as members of the Kirin Tor.<ref>''[[Tides of War]]''</ref>

The Kirin Tor were also responsible for maintaining a supply line between Draenor and [[Azeroth]], but their holdout within [[the Everbloom]], the [[Violet Bluff]], was overgrown by [[Primals]] and most of its population [[infested]]. This turn of events nearly ended in a disaster, when the [[genesaur]] [[Yalnu]] crossed the mage portal into the Kirin Tor overlook above [[Stormwind]], where he was stopped before he could muster his strength and infest the city or even worse.

Though primarily a [[human]] kingdom, the Kirin Tor has always housed a sizeable [[Thalassian]] minority. For over two thousand years, it was not uncommon for some of the long-lived elves to study and serve in Dalaran as well as [[Silvermoon]]. Relations were strained between the two magical kingdoms after the [[Third War]] (and further compounded by Silvermoon's alliance with the reformed [[Horde]]),<ref name="In the Shadow of the Sun"/> but the readmitted [[Sunreavers]] continued tradition somewhat until they were expelled from Dalaran. Most of the Kirin Tor's current high elf population is now part of the [[Silver Covenant]], a militant wing of Kirin Tor defenders. The Kirin Tor also has [[gnomes]], [[dwarves]], [[goblins]], and even a small handful of [[draenei]] in their ranks.

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" />

The gradual reintroduction of arcane magic into [[night elf]] society has in turn also slowly produced mages of that race. By the time Azeroth was ready to invade [[Tanaan Jungle]] on Draenor, night elf mages had joined the Kirin Tor, carrying out work such as maintaining a portal between [[Lion's Watch]] and [[Stormshield]] in [[Ashran]].

The Kirin Tor (or Kirin-Tor) [ˌkɪrɪn ˈtɔɹ] is the elite[1] conclave[2][3] that leads the magical nation of Dalaran, one of the seven human kingdoms. Its members are some of the most powerful[1] magi of Azeroth. Once a secretive and selective order of magi that kept aloof from ordinary politics,[4] the Kirin Tor has since become one of the foremost factions standing against the threats posed to Azeroth's survival - among them the Scourge, the Blue Dragonflight, the Iron Horde, and the Burning Legion.

The Kirin Tor were members of the original Alliance of Lordaeron, and sided with the Grand Alliance toward the end of the Alliance-Horde war, eventually returning to neutrality. They have also upheld an alliance with Silvermoon for over 2,000 years,[5] the elven kingdom's crown prince (and others) having served on the Council of Six. The Six lead the Kirin Tor as its governmental body.[6]

In World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, it became a reputation faction.

History

Kirin Tor 64

The Crest of the Kirin Tor

As Dalaran became the chief center of learning for magicians throughout the land, the Magocrat lords originally 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.[7] Some decades ago, the Kirin Tor was but a sect in Dalaran (the Kirin Tor Advanced Research and Illumination Sect being its full name or an honor society within it)[8] while the city-State was governed by the Council of Six, referred as the Ruling Council.[8] At some point, this school became the city's Magus Senate.[9]

During the Second War

Following the fall of Stormwind to the Orcish Horde the Kirin Tor pledged the support of Dalaran to the newly formed Alliance of Lordaeron. Archmage Khadgar personally served as their liaison and would eventually destroy the Dark Portal.[10] Though the Dark Portal was destroyed in the aftermath of the Second War the Kirin Tor noticed that rift remained that connected Azeroth and Draenor together, and so created Nethergarde Keep in order to watch over the rift. Additionally it took several members of the Kirin Tor working together in order to halt the taint that was spreading from the rift's location.[11]

During the war that would follow between the Alliance and Horde of Draenor Teron Gorefiend and his Death Knights, aided by Deathwing, found themselves able to successfully enter Dalaran's Arcane vault and steal the Eye of Dalaran from the Kirin Tor. Archmage Antonidas would quickly inform Khadgar of the theft and sometime after Alliance Expedition would journey to Draenor in order to put an end to the orc threat.

Following the destruction of the Draenor, the Kirin Tor would take an interest in the defeated orcs' strange lethargy. The organization would discover orcs were suffering from a withdrawal of the demonic energies that they had become addicted to.[12]

During the Third War

Near the beginning of the Third War the Kirin Tor would take notice of a mysterious plague gripping the northlands. As such their Ambassador to King Terenas revealed that the Kirin Tor were prepared to place the villages under strict quarantine. However the King declared that there would be no quarantine without proof of these claims as the people of Lordaeron had suffered enough.[13] Suspecting that the plague was magical in the nature the Kirin Tor would send Jaina Proudmoore accompanied by a special envoy to assist.[14] The Kirin Tor would eventually learn that their suspicions were not only correct but that Kel'Thuzad, a former member of the organization, was responsible for spreading the plague.[15]

Under the direction of the demon lord Archimonde the Scourge led by Prince Arthas prepared to invade Dalaran in order to claim the Book of Medivh. However the Kirin Tor were prepared to fight the undead and had created magical auras that would harm any undead that enter the city. Despite this Arthas and Kel'thuzad were not deterred and were able to enter the city, kill the wizards maintaining the auras (which included the Kirin Tor's leader Antonidas), and claim the Book of Medivh.[16]

While the Scourge prepared to summon Archimonde into the world, surviving wizards of the Kirin Tor had teleported in an army.[17] As the Kirin Tor began their attack, Arthas ordered the Scourge to defend Kel'Thuzad at all costs; and despite their best efforts, the Kirin Tor failed in stopping the Scourge. Successfully summoned, the demon lord Archimonde destroyed Dalaran completely, claiming its annihilation heralded the Legion's first strike against the mortal world.

After the fall of Dalaran, surviving agents of the Kirin Tor such as Jailor Kassan pledged their support to Grand Marshal Garithos and the Alliance Remnants.[18] The Blood Elves, led by Council of Six member Kael'thas Sunstrider, came to reside in Dalaran and fought in its defense; however, the elves came under Garithos' prejudice against their kind, and were eventually imprisoned in the city's dungeons for consorting with the Naga, slated for execution. However, thanks to the timely arrival of Lady Vashj, the Blood Elves were freed and eventually found their way to Outland. While elves such as Aethas would vouch for the Kirin Tor's innocence in these events, others like Rommath would accuse the organization of looking the other way.[19] What role the Kirin Tor had in this, if any, and even the exact status of the Kirin Tor during this time is largely unknown.

The destruction of Dalaran was a massive blow to the Kirin Tor, leaving its surviving members scattered and its leadership in disarray.[20] Eventually, though, they were able to reclaim 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.[21][22]

World of Warcraft

They sent Sorcerer Ashcrombe to Shadowfang Keep to check Arugal's progress on the undead. The Kirin Tor would also come into conflict with the Forsaken.

Wrath of the Lich King

Wrath-Logo-Small This section concerns content related to Wrath of the Lich King.

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. The Kirin Tor proclaimed themselves neutral in the conflict between the Horde and the Alliance, and instead sought to help bridge the gaps between the two factions—starting with reaching out to Quel'Thalas for magical support against Malygos, the crazed Aspect of Magic.[23]

The presence of the Kirin Tor was indeed met with deep-seated revilement from the crazed Malygos, who made numerous attempts to destroy the city.[24] Malygos, whose war on mortal magic users reached its crux during the war against the Lich King, would ultimately be put to death before his vengeance against the Kirin Tor could be fulfilled. A number of Kirin Tor mages decided to help the blue dragonflight and Malygos transformed them into mage hunters.

The elven population of the Kirin Tor underwent something of a split: the portion of the elves who converted to the blood elven philosophy took up the name "the Sunreavers," named for their leader, Aethas Sunreaver, the only non-human on the Council of Six. Conversely, some high elven members opposed the notion of allowing the sin'dorei back into the Kirin Tor's ranks, and formed the Silver Covenant to oppose it. Its leader, Vereesa Windrunner, however, held no political sway within the city, thus leading to the blood elves officially being readmitted as members of the Kirin Tor.[25]

The Kirin Tor also assisted in the assault on Ulduar, working closely with Brann Bronzebeard and his Explorers' League to this end.

Tides of War

WoW-novel-logo-16x62 This section concerns content related to the Warcraft novels, novellas, or short stories.

Jaina Proudmoore urged the Kirin Tor to support Theramore against the Horde armies massing at Northwatch Hold. The council agreed to send mages to help defend the island nation. Aethas Sunreaver cast the decisive vote in support of Theramore, reasoning that to do nothing would be to implicitly support the Horde's expansionism.

When Garrosh's true plan: to detonate a mana bomb over Theramore, is revealed; Rhonin sacrifices his life by teleporting Jaina and a few wounded defenders to safety. Rhonin pulls the bomb into the Theramore Tower, minimizing the damage caused by the explosion.

In the aftermath, Jaina replaces Rhonin on the Council of Six and as leader of the Kirin Tor. Due to Thalen Songweaver's betrayal at the defense of Theramore, the Sunreavers' credibility has been damaged.

Mists of Pandaria

Mists of Pandaria This section concerns content related to Mists of Pandaria.

When Jaina Proudmoore discovered that the Sunreavers helped Garrosh Hellscream steal the Inv misc bell 01 [Divine Bell] by using Dalaran portals to infiltrate Darnassus, she mobilized the Kirin Tor, Alliance forces, and the Silver Covenant to purge the Horde from Dalaran. After these events, Jaina pledged the Kirin Tor to the Alliance; for game purposes, Dalaran remains unchanged after the questline is completed.

Ignited by Jaina's fury, the Kirin Tor Offensive seek to seize Thunder Isle in the interest of the Alliance.

Warlords of Draenor

Warlords of Draenor This section concerns content related to Warlords of Draenor.

The Kirin Tor's expedition into the alternate Draenor of thirty-five[26] years ago is led by Khadgar. Based at Zangarra in Talador, the Kirin Tor appears friendly to Alliance players and neutral to Horde players. Jaina has ordered all outsiders to Dalaran - especially the Horde - are not allowed on Kirin Tor grounds. Despite this, Khadgar says that as he is a member of the Council his friends - regardless of faction - are allowed in, and if Jaina has a problem with it she can take it up with him.[27] When Jaina arrives on Draenor, she expresses distaste that Khadgar allows the Horde to work with him at Zangarra. Jaina says the rest of the Council of Six would not approve and that she certainly does not.

The Kirin Tor were also responsible for maintaining a supply line between Draenor and Azeroth, but their holdout within the Everbloom, the Violet Bluff, was overgrown by Primals and most of its population infested. This turn of events nearly ended in a disaster, when the genesaur Yalnu crossed the mage portal into the Kirin Tor overlook above Stormwind, where he was stopped before he could muster his strength and infest the city or even worse.

Another Kirin Tor force, led by Modera, fights the forces of Socrethar and the Sargerei at Socrethar's Rise.

Kirin Tor mages accompanied Khadgar to the Hellfire Citadel and are seen at the entrance and at the site of the disabled Black Gate maintaining portals.

Legion

Legion This section concerns content related to Legion.

Stub Please add any available information to this section.

At some point after the Battle of the Broken Shore, Jaina left Dalaran and Khadgar took her place as leader.[28] Kalecgos and Vargoth brought the council's membership back up to six, and the council voted to allow Aethas Sunreaver back into Dalaran, although not as a member of the Six.[29]

Organization and headquarters

Within the conclave, there is an inner council: the Six, whom are the actual rulers of the city.[30] This governing body appoints one of their own as Head of the Kirin Tor[3](also known as Grand Magus of the Kirin Tor[31]); this master wizard[10] is essentially the ruler of Dalaran.[10]

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. Separately, the conclave's senior council met in the Chamber of 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.

In the RPG

Icon-RPG This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

It is made up of 120 members.[21] They are divided in several levels of importance and influence.

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.[22]

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.[22]

Membership

Though primarily a human kingdom, the Kirin Tor has always housed a sizeable Thalassian minority. For over two thousand years, it was not uncommon for some of the long-lived elves to study and serve in Dalaran as well as Silvermoon. Relations were strained between the two magical kingdoms after the Third War (and further compounded by Silvermoon's alliance with the reformed Horde),[23] but the readmitted Sunreavers continued tradition somewhat until they were expelled from Dalaran. Most of the Kirin Tor's current high elf population is now part of the Silver Covenant, a militant wing of Kirin Tor defenders. The Kirin Tor also has gnomes, dwarves, goblins, and even a small handful of draenei in their ranks.

The gradual reintroduction of arcane magic into night elf society has in turn also slowly produced mages of that race. By the time Azeroth was ready to invade Tanaan Jungle on Draenor, night elf mages had joined the Kirin Tor, carrying out work such as maintaining a portal between Lion's Watch and Stormshield in Ashran.

Icon-RPG This section contains information from the Warcraft RPG which is considered non-canon.

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.[22]

Leaders of the Council of Six

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 Inv shirt guildtabard 01 [Tabard of the Kirin Tor] at level 1.

Being a collection of the greatest mages in the land, the Kirin Tor naturally has many members who have had significant effects on the history of Azeroth, including both great wizards and those who delved too deeply into necromancy, demonology, and other warlock magics.

Title

NPC members of the Kirin Tor should also have the <Kirin Tor> title, or <The Kirin Tor> in some rare cases.

Notes

  • While the Kirin Tor officially condemns torture, its members are not always opposed to using information obtained by others through it.[32]
  • Members of the Kirin Tor have to know the flora and fauna of Azeroth for a variety of reasons, many of them dealing with survival.[33]
  • A favored companion of Kirin Tor magi, the Spell nature guardianward [Albino Snake] makes one wonder whether it's truly a snake or something else altogether.[34]
