Kirin Tor reputation in WoW Forever
The Kirin Tor are the council of mages that rules Dalaran. In WoW Forever their city stands in the 
Alterac Mountains, and its shield came down while the mages were still rebuilding it.
Their reputation is new in WoW Forever, and it is an Alliance standing. Quests from quest level 13 to 60 pay it, most of them in Dalaran, in its dungeon, in 7 more dungeons and in the Blasted Lands.
Archmage Alvareaux holds the rewards in Dalaran. Friendly opens 8 Azure recipes for Blacksmithing, Leatherworking and Tailoring, and Exalted opens the Kirin Tor Tabard.

The Kirin Tor route from level 13 to 60
- Quest level 13, High Order Skyborne only. These 2 quests belong to the Zephras Isle start of the High Order Skyborne, so the Kirin Tor quests of every other Alliance race start at quest level 33. The Magical City of Dalaran puts you on the skycutter ship from Zephras Isle to Dalaran City. Exploring the Alliance sends you from Stormwind Keep to King Magni Bronzebeard, High Tinker Mekkatorque and Tyrande Whisperwind.
- Quest level 33, the City of Dalaran. An Alarming Request, the 2 dungeon quests and Friend of the Kirin Tor pay 220 together. Our City of Dalaran guide covers the way in.
- Quest levels 38 to 46, 5 dungeons. Past Due in Scarlet Monastery, then The Drowned City, Razorfen Downs, Krol'dok Stronghold and Zul'Farrak, 1 quest each.
- Quest levels 52 to 54, Dalaran and the Blasted Lands. A Taste of Home and Thicker Than Water are turned in inside Dalaran, 4 quests take place in the Blasted Lands, and The Dragon's Journal takes you into Alcaz Prison.
- Quest levels 59 and 60. Blackmaw Magic in Blackmaw Hold, then Unstable Magic back in Dalaran.
Unstable Magic and Archmage Celindra
Archmage Celindra of the Kirin Tor waits in the Violet Citadel of Dalaran. Her Unstable Magic is a level 60 quest worth 500 Kirin Tor reputation.
She hands you an Arcane Censer. While its magic is on you, the most skilled spell casters and other powerful foes you fight give up Motes of Unstable Magic, and she wants 10 of them.
Celindra is also the end of Friend of the Kirin Tor. After Heart of Disruption, the Image of Archmage Modera sends you to her with the mote, for 10 reputation.

Kirin Tor and the Horde: why Dalaran is hostile
Only Alliance characters build Kirin Tor standing in WoW Forever. A beta update in October 2026 shut the door on Horde characters gaining it.
That update also set the open city against the Horde. Horde characters are attacked on sight in Dalaran, and the Horde quests for the Dalaran Sewer Key no longer open its streets.
The City of Dalaran dungeon is a separate place and stays open to Horde groups. Their way in is in our City of Dalaran guide, and every standing the Horde can raise is in our WoW Forever reputation guide.
From the source
Official“Fixed an issue allowing Horde players to gain Kirin Tor reputation. Members of the Horde are no longer welcome in Dalaran and will be attacked on sight; this does not affect access to the City of Dalaran dungeon, and the Horde questline for the Dalaran Sewer Key no longer grants access to the city in the open world.”
Official“City of Dalaran, levels 28-33, Alterac Mountains: the barrier over Dalaran has fallen and the group enters through the sewers.”
