Archmage Lan'dalock is a high elf quest giver located at the Violet Hold (outside of the actual instance) in Dalaran. He offers the weekly raid quests to players. Prior to patch 3.3.0, he and Archmage Timear gave random daily quests for dungeons. See Daily quest for the quests he once offered.
History[]
Cataclysm[]
During the assault on the Firelands, Archmage Lan'dalock can be found in Mount Hyjal assisting the player in fighting elites in the daily quest, [35 Daily] The Protectors of Hyjal.
The Purge of Dalaran[]
During the Purge of Dalaran, Lan'dalock and two Silver Covenant enforcers guarded the entrance to the Violet Hold, where the captured or surrendered Sunreavers were being held. It is possible for Horde heroes to be banished to the hold's entrance by Jaina Proudmoore during Grand Magister Rommath's assault on the city, in which case players will fight and kill Lan'dalock to secure their escape. During the battle, Lan'dalock will summon illusions of the various bosses he once tasked players with defeating during the Wrath of the Lich King era.
Rise of the Thunder King[]
Archmage Lan'dalock makes an appearance on the Isle of Thunder, making his optional death during the Purge of Dalaran non-canon. He is tasked to dismantle the presence of the Zandalari trolls at Za'Tual.
Legion[]
It is revealed that Lan'dalock had a liaison with Matron Mother Malevolence before he joined the Kirin Tor.[1] The Illidari use this to their advantage and secure his help in breaking into the Black Temple.[2]
Archmage Lan'dalock gives out [Seal of Broken Fate] for [Order Resources], Marks of Honor, or gold.

Spells and abilities[]

- Summon Images — Summons illusions of the bosses. 3 sec cast.
Notes and trivia[]
- Lan'dalock has several apprentices.[3]
- During the Burning Crusade beta, there was a hostile blood elf mob named Bloodseer Lan'dalock in Hellfire Peninsula. It was removed before the expansion went live, and its ID was reused for Archmage Lan'dalock in Wrath of the Lich King.
- His name may be a pun on "landlocked," which may be less of a stretch if you consider that he and Archmage Timear were the first quest giver NPCs to be given collision boundaries.
- When engaged by members of the Horde during the Purge of Dalaran, he summons various images of Wrath of the Lich King bosses, such as:
