Unfortunately, no. I try to stay away from factions a lot of other people have made e.i. Blood Elves, Burning Legion, Dwarves, Naga, etc.

DALARAN v2.5.2 Created by wa666r 
First alternate melee in my series of maps involving lore races/factions from the Warcraft universe. This addition allows the players to explore and play as the knowledgeable people of Dalaran. Dalaran, the most sapient of the seven human kingdoms, and the only few that maintain immense manipulation over magics and the arcane arts. The faction has long been the substratum for some of the most puissant mages; thus giving them reputation as a cesspool of erudition and study. From their cognizance, the mages bring forth spells of devastating magics; capable of eradicating whole armies. When rallying the casters may utilize their mana reserves to preserve countless lives and repel any enemy that threatens their precious libraries and magic holds. However, even with the most advanced skills in the arcane arts, the people of Dalaran failed to halt the onslaught from Arthas and the foul Undead Scourge; resulting in evoking the Burning Legion to force Dalaran's untimely demise. Now with their influence diminished, the refugees of Dalaran sought reclamation. 
Play as a new race, and behold the tactics and abilities to utilize their various strategies to bring the fight to the enemy. - 4 Custom Heroes: Arcane Curator, Thaumaturge, Spell Officer, and High Wizard. - a list of new items reflecting the Dalaran faction.
TO PLAY AS THE DALARAN, CHOOSE HUMAN WHEN CHOOSING YOUR RACE. BIG THANKS TO UJIMASA HOJO FOR HIS HELP IN TEACHING HOW TO MODEL/TEXTURE. 
- REVAMPED HERO! - NEW UNIT: MAGICIAN! - NEW UNIT: ARCANIST - REVAMPED APPRENTICE - REVAMPED GEOMANCER - Changed tooltip layout - QWER hotkey system - Battlemage slightly revamped - Charmer slightly revamped - Power Blades removed - Changed "Mana Shield" to "Unstable Portal" - Added "Polymorph Staff" - Revamped "Orb of Energy" - Added "Book of Recall" - MANY new icons - Revamped "Dalaran's Rune" - ALL Dalaran troops have a racial Mana Shield ability - Dozens of extra icons - SO MUCH MORE Thaumaturge

Arcane Curator
Unexpected tab 3
[/tab]
Role: Damage/Anti-Mage Race: Elven Gender: Female | The Arcane Curator is a fascinating archer who has trained for ages to master her arts in the arcane. She had been a loyal member of the Dalaran's elites, and has a strict resolve to protect Dalaran and her people from their foes. Even though she wields mighty arcane spells that can eradicate any enemy, she is also proficient in her people's art of bow mastery; thus when combining her natural skill of archery along with the arcane magics, the Arcane Curator becomes a terrifying foe. She is able to imbue an arrow with arcane energies that not only severely wounds the enemy, but also destroying their magical essence in the process. The Arcane Curator has a certain love for keeping her Quiver magically honed; allowing the arrows inside to absorb their essence. hen her own magical powers seem to wane, she is able to regain it back from the magically fit enemies which she attacks with; a truly powerful capability. When all seems lost, the Arcane Curator can use her most masterful magic to send bolts of magic flying in all direction, while at the same time restoring the magics of her allies. | ||

Arcanist
Magician
Charmer
Aether Elemental
Unexpected tab 5
Role: Offensive/Support/Summoning Race: Human Gender: Female | The Arcanist studied various fields of magic before deciding their calling in the Arcane arts. These mages were already magnificently experienced with magics as they studied the methods of utilizing the magic in the air and space to their advantage. With a single incantation, the Arcanist sends a wave of negated mana to ravage enemy's magical essence then transfer the burn to it's vitality. To further advance in their arcane course they may cast a spell to unlock the mind of the afflicted, allowing any incoming or outgoing spell to re-energize it. To show their demonstration of their arcane prowess, the Arcanist spawns a elemental from the aether; yet even with all their confidence, the aether places a burden upon the caster, scolding them with silence and pain. | ||
| |||
| |||
Lasts 300 seconds. Upon casting, the Arcanist deals 75% less damage, and can not cast spells for 30 seconds. Attacks land and air units. | |||
Role: Damage/Debuffer Race: High Elven Gender: Male | Flying mage unit, adept at aerial combat and disrupting spellcasters. Has the Mana Decay ability, which cause the enemy to constantly lose mana and health. Has Enchanted Missiles, which causes increased damage and summons an orb that attacks nearby enemies from the killed. Can learn the Arcane Field ability. | ||
Lasts 30 seconds. | |||
| |||
Lasts 15 seconds. | |||
Role: Support/Range Race: Elven Gender: Male | The Charmer is a unique attacker wielding a powerful whip materialized out of arcane magics. For many years the Charmers have been practicing to hone their skill in order to better serve the nation of Dalaran; and when the time came, they were prepared. During the Undead Scourge invasion of Dalaran, the Charmers fought valiantly keeping the numerous undead ground troops and flyers at bay. Only once their mana reserves ran dry did the Charmers have to retreat. For without their mana, the powerful mana is highly ineffective. The Charmers are invaluable on the battlefield; providing aggressive support fire. | ||
| |||
| |||
Role: Siege Race: Elemental Gender: Unknown | The Aether Elemental is a mysterious flying creature formed from the Elements held in the stars and space. These creatures serve the Dalaran focuses only because of the mighty magics that bind their will to the Dalaran. Though not much is known about the Aether Elementals, it is understood that they wield stellar magics that can ravage any strongholds in mass. The creature can almost always call upon the Moon's beams to lighten and reveal the most valuable information, all the while striping the plating; leaving the structures very vulnerable. | ||

They are interesting, but I'm an Ironforge Alliance boy at heart. That, and that Wildhammer Clan I keep telling myself I'll make someday...Hopefully the Dark Iron Clan can tide you over.

I considered making either of those. There are so many good models available for the Dwarves.

My favorite of all your races. Very unique, original and interesting.
Sadly the newest patch broke it. Summoning elementals from either the building or spellcasters breaks the game more often than not.
Things you can also change if you ever update the map again:
-Rename map/race from "Dalaran" to "Kirin Tor"
-Add an UI
-Add a fire elemental
-I like that it has both humans and elves, but imo there a little too many elves. Change the channeler and the pyromancer or arcanist to human, or "humanize" them(remove ears and change the faces). Dalaran is predominately a human city.
P.S I copy/pasted this comment to the other Dalaran map to be able to rate it.

Fire Elementals? Really more of a Warlock/Blood Mage/Orc Shaman thing, doncha think? The Mages of the Kirin Tor/Dalaran are really typified by a focus on the element of Water/Ice (hence the standard Archmage having both "Summon Water Elemental" & "Blizzard", patterned after the Warcraft 2 "Mage" & the Warcraft 1 "Conjurer").
Also, I'd argue that Dalaran is pretty thick with Elves (being a naturally-magical race & the ones who originally taught Humans arcane magic after all). I haven't played WoW or gotten too deep into the Lore in a while, but I'd imagine it's at least 60/40 favoring Elves. Maybe 70/30 at most...

Actually the mages of the Kirin Tor use fire as much as Water/Ice. In WoW there is a whole mage specialization called Fire Mage that focuses on fire magic. In WC2 a mage unit has as much fire spells as water/ice. They don't use it in WC3 for aesthetic reasons and because Jaina is a Frost mage(another spec). Blood Mages are mages of Dalaran/Kirin Tor. Summoning elementals is 100% mage thing. Shamans don't do it that way, they worship the elements, and the elements they summon fight with them on their own free will, for a short amount of time, they don't enslave the elements with magic. Warlocks don't do elements, only demons and voidwalkers.
Dalaran was/is one of the seven human kingdoms for a reason(though it is actually a city-state). Humans form a large majority(think I heard somewhere 65% humans, 30% elves(15% high elves, 15% blood elves) and 5% the rest(goblins mostly)). All the former official rulers of Dalaran Antonidas, Jaina, Rhonin, Khadgar are humans. Most known members of the ruling council of 6 were humans there were only few elves(there were as many dragons as the elves in the council). Right know there are 5 humans and 1 dragon in the council. Elves are xenophobic, don't like leaving Quel'thalas and living in a multi racial city. And after WC3 there aren't that many elves left. Humans are the most numerous race, like 20 times more numerous.

I don't really have much to do with/care for WoW & what it did to the world, so I guess we'll just be at odds there when it comes to Lore.
That being said, I would argue that it has to do with more than just aesthetics (i.e. why Wc3 Dalaran mages focus on Water/Ice), but again, that's 'changed' by WoW Lore.
Sounds like my percentages were right about on target, then. ; )
