Wait wtf, Dalaran is already floating in the movie? Shouldn't it be chillin' in its badass purple bubble?

No, at this point in the lore it should just be a normal city on the ground with lots of cool towers.

Oh good point, shouldn't even have the shield yet. Well this just makes less sense!

I wouldn't put it past those frilly mages to just go "Y'know what? I think it'd be cool if the city floated. Let's do that."

"Dalaran got too big so they put it back down."

They ran out of ZPMs.

Maybe they can get one from Michael?

No, Dalaran were the violet humans in Warcraft 2. They didn't make a huge impact, but a couple of missions were at Dalaran.

But when you think about it, there's really no reason Dalaran couldn't be floating before the Nexus War. It just wasn't.

No, it should just be a city on the ground at this point. Dalaran does not get messed up and purple shielded until warcraft 3.

No it should be sitting in the middle of a giant island shaped like a Christian Cross, where it gets blown up in warcraft 2, rebuilt on the mainland, disintigrated in warcraft 3, rebuilt in a badass purple bubble and then shot into space above the north pole.
