Line 90:
* Dalaran in ''[[Warcraft]]''. It was the smallest of the human kingdoms, but rather influential. That is, until the Scourge and Burning Legion ravaged it.
** Now after years of renovations it's back, and has moved (quite literally) to Northrend as the new central city in the Wrath expansion. It is the first city in [[World of Warcraft]] to float in midair.
** Which lead to a [[Crowning Moment of Funny]] during the latter days of the [[Wot LK]]WotLK expansion: one intrepid gnome player kept asking "Where is Dalaran?" while running around in the zone underneath the city. This led to hilarity high above, until one nice player said: "have you tried looking up yet?". A stunned "Oh..." was the reaction. Forgiveable, as the player was rather new to [[WoW]] and his character was barely off the boat to Northrend.
** Warcraft is pretty much full of Magocracies. Another example would be blood elven kingdom, Quel'thalas, where the 'Magisters' are seen in almost every position of authority. Though that may be because every thalassian is capable of, at least, very basic magic - to which they are literally addicted. If you want to stretch it, the Night Elves of Darnassus are ruled by nature wielding Druids and divine magic wielding priestesses.
* The Academy/Tower faction in the ''[[Heroes of Might and Magic]]'' series.
