Kirin'Var Village is located in the southernmost floating island in Netherstorm. This is a hub for various different quests. Note that although the town's name appears on the Netherstorm map, there is no actual subzone named Kirin'Var Village. Instead, it is separated into four subzones, which contain different types of mobs - Wizard Row, Town Square, Chapel Yard, and the Violet Tower.
History
When the Alliance sent an expedition to Draenor in order to finish the Horde once and for all, a group of Kirin Tor wizards lead by Archmage Vargoth, established a base in the heart of the Laughing Skull Clan territory. They called it Kirin'Var Village. However, a short time after they had settled, Draenor was torn apart. The explosion devastated the land and all that remains is today the Netherstorm. The surviving wizards remained in their village 17 years.
Years later, Prince Kael'thas Sunstrider along with his blood elf followers attacked the village with more power that the wizards could imagine, the prince's forces even using a Mana Bomb similar to the one that eradicated the Cenarion Thicket. Archmage Vargoth ordered to his comrades to retreat to the local tower. However, Kael'thas was wiser and stronger than Vargoth remembered: in the moment that Vargoth and his men entered the tower; the elven prince sealed the doors with a curse on the tower, to ensure that none of the wizards within would exit the Violet Tower. But despite Kael's efforts, one of Vargoth's apprentices escaped: his name is Ravandwyr.
Ravandwyr saw Kael's plans and escaped but was unable to warn his master. With no one by his side but his familiar, Ravandwyr fled to the Arklon Ruins, but found the area being excavated by demons. So instead he fled to Area 52, a Goblin Settlement. Ravandwyr has sought help ever since. Now that the Dark Portal has been opened once more, the mage seeks help from brave Azerothian adventurers that cross into the Outland. Ravandwyr sent them to retrieve 
[Archmage Vargoth's Staff] from a demon named Ekkorash. Upon their return Ravandwyr notices that Ekkorash took the staff's crystalline headpiece for use in some other trinket. Infuriated, Ravandwyr sends the adventurers to collect crystals from ghosts in the north of Area 52. After collecting the crystals, Ravandwyr repairs the staff and gives it to the adventurers and tells them to go to the Violet Tower in Kirin'Var Village and speak with Archmage Vargoth, to inform him about the happening after the encounter with Kael'thas.
The adventurers enter the village and contact an image of Vargoth because the real Archmage is still imprisoned. Vargoth asks the adventurers to help him and his comrades to exit the tower. In order to escape, Vargoth asks the adventurers to obtain few relics that he brings with him to Draenor: the 
[Sigil of Krasus], Krasus's Compendium and 
[Stone of Glacius].
The first item was a great boon to the Alliance in the battle against the orcs and is held by Spellbinder Maryana, a lieutenant of Kael'thas that stole the Sigil from Vargoth. The second one is the spellbook of Krasus. The compendium has been stolen from Vargoth by a rebellious apprentice intent on studying necromancy. The apprentice and his followers divided and studied the text in secret, locking themselves inside their houses in the southern part of Kirin'Var Village. The adventurers kill the apprentices and retrieve the compendium. However the compendium is magically locked because Krasus was well aware of the sheer power of the spells recorded in the book and took steps to safeguard them from prying eyes. To unlock it, Vargoth asks the adventurers to get the 
[Heliotrope Oculus] from Spellreaver Marathelle, one of Kael'thas lieutenants. The last thing the Archmage needs is a powerful magic stone stolen by Summoner Kanthin, who is one of the most senior magisters in the force Kael'thas sent to decimate Kirin'Var.
When all the items are retrieved, only one thing remains to be done. When Kael'thas sealed the tower, he placed an arcane golem, known as Ar'kelos, at the bottom of the tower to guard it. Vargoth orders the adventurers to kill the golem and enter the tower in order to assist him in making preparations for the ritual. When the adventures arrive, Vargoth's freedom is near. However, Vargoth underestimates Kael'thas's magic: there is a ward which prevents the curse to be removed. And so the adventurers are sent to locate Apex, the giant and obtain 
[Apex's Crystal Focus], an item that gives the power to locate who hold the key to the ward. Using the crystal, Vargoth discovers that the key is found very near to Kael'thas, in the hands of his commander : Commander Sarannis. In order to break the curse once and for all, the adventurers venture into Tempest Keep's Botanica and retrieve the keystone. At last, after very long time, Vargoth and his comrades regain their freedom.
Kirin'Var is now haunted by many of its pasts residents due to the Necromancer and an apprentice of Vargoth's, Naberius. Wizard Row has been over run by mana beasts due to the Mana Bomb dropped their by Kael'thas' forces. Only two members of Kirin'Var managed to "keep" their spirits, Custodian Dieworth and Commander Dawnforge. While many others "live life" like they were still alive.
