In World of Warcraft, building your own little Dalaran – that’s possible. How good it looks is shown by a player on their property.
Most WoW fans probably associate Dalaran with nice memories. Often, one would run around in circles, looking for group members or learning professions. However, with the launch of The War Within, Dalaran has been destroyed by Xal’atath, and numerous NPCs lost their lives in the process. Enough reason for some to build a small shrine or memorial to Dalaran in their housing. What is possible there is extremely impressive, as the player Qprah demonstrates.
What has the player done? While others are creating spectacular homes, Qprah has set the goal of erecting a small memorial for Dalaran – and he has rebuilt the city quite faithfully. But see for yourself:
If you look closely, you can immediately recognize which items were used for the different areas of the city. Small cushions serve as roofs, while elven fence posts were used for towers. And – as is customary in housing – the carpet is also repurposed in various ways.
Why is Dalaran so important? The fact that Dalaran is dear to many players has probably several reasons. Not only was Dalaran the capital in 2 expansions of World of Warcraft (Wrath of the Lich King and Legion), but the city also played a major role in the preceding story of Warcraft. Dalaran was destroyed in Warcraft III when Archimonde was summoned. He shaped the city from sand with a powerful spell and then caused the sandcastle to collapse – which also destroyed the real Dalaran. That’s why the commentator Grif2718 says somewhat worried:
“I hope this works better than the last time someone made a diorama of Dalaran.”
But however you look at it, the example impressively shows what is possible with housing and how many small details can be incorporated when you put in the effort and let creativity play a little. If you like quirky houses, you should also take a look at the house of Ticks – it might be one of the best in many neighborhoods.
