Teaser
The Sons of Lothar, the Second War and the Council of Seven Nations, the War of the Lich King, the resolve of Algalon and the madness of Malygos, the Burning Legion, the battle of Suramar and the invasion of Argus, the rise of the Primalists… Countless times, Dalaran has come to the aid of the rest of Azeroth; countless times, it forsook its own safety and sacrificed its best and brightest to stand as a frontliner in global conflicts, existential threats and cosmic horrors.
This time, however, it is Dalaran finding itself in dire need of help.
An old enemy is on the rise, cunning and ruthless; one who the Kirin Tor has been researching for months and months, ever since the whispers some refer to as ‘The Radiant Song’ have been echoing across the planet; one who knows just how instrumental Dalaran would be in stopping her, were it to be left standing.
Soon, summons will be distributed and old debts collected; and once more, Archmages Moonblaze and Jendrock will be calling the mages of Azeroth to the historical haven of their kind.
OOC Information
After the success of War on Magic: Magebane, held last november, we will be running a second WoM campaign - this time, to accompany the massive lore event that will be the Fall of Dalaran.
We know from TWW beta that the city will be attacked by Xal’atath and the nerubians in the very beginning of the expansion, and subsequently destroyed. This event itself will take place on the first days of the campaign, followed by a storyline dealing with the aftermath - and, of course, our collective revenge.
‘Event days’ (see timeline below) will be DMed by the KTI officer team, and the side-events provided by other DMs will accompany the story beats to diversify the feel of the main storyline. There will be combat, naturally, but also investigations, camp and travel RP, scouting missions and diplomacy; and due to the nature of the story, made to accompany a lore event and the discovery of new zones, this campaign will be more character-driven, with a fairly straightforward plot, no static campaign hub (as we will be on the move), and no major played antagonist like Magebane was to the first campaign.
The storyline will nevertheless deal with heavy themes of grief and revenge, kicked off by catastrophic collective loss, and have some horror elements as we descend into the depths to track down the nerubians; so if you are looking for a light-hearted experience, this might not be the campaign for you!
Sign-ups, like last time, will be handled on The Mage Quarter discord (see link above), and the attendees of the first War on Magic campaign will have priority: we aim for around 90 attendees, or two full raid groups per ‘big’ event night.

FAQ
Can I DM/join the IC leadership?
We already have a core DMing team for big plot events, but we are looking for people willing to host smaller events, general activities and fluff (preferably plot related, such as exploration/scouting, social, research etc, but nothing is theoretically off-limits as long as the Kirin Tor would realistically sign up on it). Contact ‘Acheleus’ or ‘Jendrock’ on discord!
As for IC leadership, the two big bosses are the main campaign hosts’ characters (Acheleus Moonblaze & Kelly Jendrock), but if your character is a GM/officer or an official from a faction, they can be invited to act as representatives and secondary leaders. It would be especially welcome if you are willing to DM as mentioned above!
Any more race/class/faction restrictions?
The OOC class of the character doesn’t matter, as long as they are mages ICly; the only races we could restrict are dragons, since they are too powerful compared to the average mage character, and dracthyrs, since they aren’t mages like other races in the lore, and having versatile tanks/healers wielding different sorts of magic would defeat the purpose of the campaign. However, IC thalassians/humans characters using the visage form OOC are of course accepted.
Any RP/PvP?
No RP-PvP: this is a strictly RP-PvE campaign, and the only in-game characters you will be put up against are campaign NPCs played by our DMing team. The Kirin Tor being neutral, any escalating faction and interpersonal conflicts will result in the aggravating party being kicked out of the campaign.
Why a strictly mage campaign though?
The KTI caters to this RP niche, and since this is a campaign centred around the magical defence then the avenging of Dalaran, we are aiming to have battle-ready mages only (which is why we will not take ‘civilians’ and non-mage dalaranians).
If you regret the lack of diversity in this campaign, there probably will be many more you can check out closer to date - or host yourself!
The last campaign was one of the best RP experiences the hosting team had - we look forward to seeing returning attendees enjoy this one as well, and to share our story with new ones!
