Now that Dalaran has lifted off in order to fly over Northrend, the previous location of the city is dominated by this gaping crater, which is still surrounded by the dome (now nearly transparent), which once covered the locale. With some purplish haze around the site — possibly residue from the city's (literal) earth-shaking exit — it is an ethereal place. Members of the Kirin Tor remain at the old site to explain the move.[citation needed]
