SUNREAVER’S HEADQUARTERS:
THE TOWER OF THE GUARDIANS
The Tower
The Tower of the Guardian has long stood in the center of Dalaran and used to be the home of the Guardian of Tirisfal. Only recently revealed, however, it was cloaked from view for many years, disguised as a public, and outdoor, park named Runeweaver’s Square. It now serves as a home for many different factions, including the Sunreavers.
The Lobby/Teleporter room
The lobby of the Tower features a central teleporter platform which has been enchanted and charged to instantly transport guests to the appropriate floor. The teleporter is activated by the user who carries a hearthstone which has been specifically attuned to the magical frequency of the desired floor. Sunreavers would receive such a hearthstone upon joining the order.
Several Floors
The Tower of the Guardian is an enchanted building and often appears much larger on the inside than on the outside. It features many floors, both above and below ground. While these floors can be reached via teleporter, there are also a series of stairwells granting access to the many levels of the building.
Extensive Libraries
The libraries of the Tower offer many records of magical findings from Azeroth’s history. Few have documented magic as extensively as the Kirin Tor, and as a Sunreaver, you have access to copies of those records. Initiates spend many hours creating copies of Kirin Tor original manuscripts as part of their training.
The Portrait Room
Confusingly named the portrait room, as not a single portrait is featured here, this is the first chamber the Sunreavers come upon when reaching the third floor, which their order calls home. It is a grand room with enough space for several groups to convene and discuss matters at hand. The portrait room even features work and lounge areas for casual meetings and discussions.
The Chamber of the Guardians
The Chamber of the Guardian is the primary meeting place for those of Guardian, Sentinel and Scout ranks. It features a vast library with many tomes of knowledge that is beneficial to those of these ranks. Mission-specific briefings often happen here.
The Portal Chamber
The Sunreavers are renown portal masters, and their skills are often requested and or required by the Kirin Tor or the champions of Quel’Thalas. While the Sunreavers maintain a Portal Courtyard, open to all Horde citizens of Dalaran, to various nation capitals, within the Tower of the Guardian they maintain a more secretive and elite network of portals to areas of magical importance around Azeroth and even beyond.
Initiate Dormatories
Initiates are often new to Dalaran and arrive with few possessions. They are assigned a bed in the newly opened dormitories, on the upper floors. The room might not feature a window, but initiates are provided with a bed and bedding, closet space and a small chest for the belongings they did bring with them.
Full Quarters
Guardians, Sentinels and Scouts are fully recognized members of the order, and as such, receive a generous stipend. While this is often enough to find private accommodations within the city, some choose to stay close to headquarters. For them, private quarters are provided within the upper levels of the Tower, which feature large bed, closets, living and work spaces, and private restroom.**
