Under the Kingdom of Lorderon the Kirin Tor became once again the center of a Magi academy but this time it was the center of the entire Kingdom of Lorderon and with this dramatic increase in importance the Kirin Tor would grow quite powerful adding a seat at the table of the Council of Lorderon and generally became the second most powerful entity within the Kingdom behind the Monarchy.

When the war had ended the Elur within the Kirin Tor that remained were so diminished that they became unable to exert enough power to push the Lorderon Numenorian elite to remain strong as the possible center of an attempt to rebuild the Empire of Numeron and thus they would become a part of the Kingdom of Lorderon. Dalaran and its bright towers grew from nothing to be the envy of all that visited the polished streets of the city. The Kirin Tor were founded during the rise of the Empire of Numeron and during this period of time they stood as one of the academies of the Elur in the region of Westros. The Kirin Tor were founded by four Numenorian noble Magi of whom discovered there was no Elur academy in the Lorderon region thus establishing the Kirin TOr south-east of Lorderon during what would turn out to be the later days of the Empire of Numeron and during this period of time they stood as one of the academies of the Elur in the region of Westros.

The Kirin Tor are the center of the short story The Six where the history both historically and currently of the Order is explained. While the order's independance has been a source of strength it is now being challenged from within by a servent of Sauron who is gathering quite a following in secret. This strong relationship means they are one of the most recegnizeable and well known Mag instutionions in Europe. The organization shares a strong relationship with the other major Magi organizations and cities including the likes of Hogwarts, the Istari in Gondor, Beauxbatons of northern France, and Durmstrang of Norway, and finally and most recently the Order of the Blue Dragon in Lucerne. Read into it what you will, but we think the meaning of Wryxian's comments are quite clear: there is some linkage between the earthquakes and "some kind of cataclysm.Kirin Tor is a large Magi Organization that exists in the Kingdom of Lorderon, and is centered around the fortress of Dalaran. But in this case we think it's notable enough, especially with the absence of Blizzard outright denying any linkage, that it's worth bringing to everyone's attention. We try not to read into blue comments too much, since reading in-between the lines can be a crap shoot sometimes. In response to "Is it only me laughing on the Earthquake in a flying City?:P" Wryxian replies: Is this the beginning of the Cata Pre event?.Or was it just me?":

" Did Any of you saw that? There was a shake in Dalaran. But the evidence we presented Monday was pretty solid, and it's gained even more traction in the community and around the net so this is an interesting follow up to it all. They like to tease - to hold the carrot in front of you and make you run for it. The comments are somewhat cryptic, but that is par for the course with Blizzard. Blue posters in the official forums have started leaving comments about the earthquakes happening in-game, which as we reported the other day, appear to be linked to in-game mobs that are potentially ushering in the beginning of the Cataclysm world event.
