Grand Magister

The Grand Magister is the title traditionally held by the leader of the Thalassian magisters. It is an extremely high and prestigious rank to hold in Quel'Thalas, above even the Ranger-general of Silvermoon. Like the ranger-general, the grand magister is an elected position.

The individual bearers of the title style themselves as the "Grand Magister of Quel'Thalas." The title was once held by Grand Magister Belo'vir, a renowned magus who was elected several years before the Third War, who was slain during the Scourge invasion of Quel'Thalas. Following the war and the rise of the blood elves, Archmage Rommath became his successor. Under his leadership, the magisters retained their high political power in Thalassian society after the near-calamity.

• The blood magi are also counted among the grand magister's subordinates.
• Dar'Khan Drathir had long coveted the title of Grand Magister, and his inability to attain it was among the perceived slights that fueled his eventual betrayal.
• A portion of the Magister's Terrace is named the Grand Magister's Asylum. After his return from Outland, Kael'thas Sunstrider resided there.
• There are several items bearing the title such as Grand Magister's Staff of Torrents.
• The rulers of the Highborne and later nightborne of Suramar (namely Mavrana Mooncrest and Elisande) use the similar title of Grand Magistrix.
• Reglakk, a mage of the Gorian Empire, also has the title of Grand Magister.
