Where is Broken Isles Dalaran?

Dalaran in the Broken Isles is located hovering above Krasus’ Landing in the region of Azsuna. It serves as the central hub for players throughout the Legion expansion, offering portals, vendors, trainers, and access to various activities related to the expansion’s content. Dalaran functions as a neutral city, allowing both Horde and Alliance players to coexist within its walls, though the usual PvP rules still apply outside the city’s immediate protection. This iteration of Dalaran is not the same as the one found in Northrend. It was teleported to the Broken Isles by Archmage Khadgar to act as a strategic base against the Burning Legion.

Dalaran: A Mobile Hub

Dalaran’s unique characteristic, its ability to teleport and reposition itself, is a key element of its lore. This magical mobility is what allowed it to move from its original location in the Hillsbrad Foothills to Northrend during the events of the Wrath of the Lich King expansion, and subsequently to the Broken Isles for Legion.

Reaching Dalaran (Broken Isles)

Getting to Dalaran in the Broken Isles is relatively straightforward. After completing the initial Broken Shore scenario, players are typically directed to Dalaran as part of the introductory Legion questline. If you’ve somehow missed this, there are several other methods:

Dalaran Hearthstone: Upon arriving in Broken Isles Dalaran for the first time, you’ll receive a special hearthstone that teleports you directly to the city.
Mage Portals: Mages with the appropriate spell can create portals to Dalaran for themselves and other players.
Flight Paths: Using flight paths from other Broken Isles zones will eventually lead you to Dalaran.
Summoning Stones: These can be found outside of the city limits where players can summon their party members to their location.
Legion Dalaran Teleport: Once you progress far enough into the Legion class hall questlines, you may receive the ability to teleport to Broken Isles Dalaran from your class order hall.

Navigating Dalaran

Dalaran is a relatively compact city, making navigation easy. Krasus’ Landing, mentioned earlier, is the location of the flight master, while the Violet Citadel in the center of the city is where Archmage Khadgar resides. The city is divided into various districts, each offering different services:

Magus Commerce Exchange: Located in the center of the city, here you will find many vendors including auction houses, and profession trainers.
Underbelly: Accessed through hidden entrances, this sewer-like area is a haven for illicit activities and PvP combat. Be warned, guards do not patrol this area.
The Legerdemain Lounge: This tavern is a popular gathering spot for players.
