Bubble Dalaran?

Q u o t e:
When the new Xpac comes out, what will happen to everyones favorite bubble city? You cannot simply take the holiest of sites away from paladins.

The mages of Dalaran have invoked powerful forces of magic to relocate Dalaran to Northrend to push forward their battle against the Scourge and to face the menace Malygos and the blue dragonflight pose for them.

Paladins should be pleased they will be able to walk around the mother city. ;)

Q u o t e:


But what's going to be left back in Aterac Mountains? A large crater with a sign that says, "Sorry we moved"?

I don't know. Perhaps through deception they will leave behind a lesser bubble to fool their enemies. Perhaps the bubble will stay but the city within will have moved. I guess we'll find out later. ;) Oh, I do love a good mystery.

Q u o t e:


Um..isn't Malygos one of the GOOD dragons?



Wait..paladins started in Dalaran? I thought the Order was started in Lordaeron...

Malygos has been a bit 'absent' for awhile now after his fight with Deathwing. He's regaining his senses and isn't pleased that little mortal magic users are running amok tossing around fireballs and frostbolts. He intends to rectify this oversight and start killing off mages (he remembers the last time magic was rampant) . Apparently, the fine folk in Dalaran don't like the idea of a big blue dragon executing them wholesale. Alexstrasza doesn't seem to care for this either and we will be seeing the red dragonflight getting involved.

The paladin comment was just for humor since that is what the op was inferring was because Dalaran was a "bubble" city that paladins would naturally want to be there. ;)

Q u o t e:
The pink bubble will turn in to a giant snow globe. There will be a sign that says "Press to shake" next to a goblin control pannel. You press it and there's a small earthquake effect and you see snow fall inside the bubble.

I like it.

Q u o t e:
Though I'm always mixed on certain changes to the lore and ways that certain stories evolve... There's just something that feels "wrong" about moving perhaps the second most notable city in the Warcraft Universe (second only to Lordaeron) to Northrend ala magic pixie dust flying...

I thought I'd interject that Chris Metzen mentioned at the Lore panel that the move of Dalaran has been a part of the plan for a long long while. This wasn't a sudden change. The Kirin Tor have been hard at work with their plans and not just holed up in safety all this time.
