Over the years of archaeological work, Medivh had resurrected countless human mage skeletons and recovered a vast trove of magical knowledge.
The magical tomes sold by Dalaran's mages were useless to Medivh. The Wrynn Family's Magic Library already held all that knowledge.
Medivh might not need it, but others did. Representatives from every family crowded around the stalls selling magical tomes.
The nobles who lacked magical knowledge could use these to acquire a wealth of basic spells and build a magical tradition for their families.
Noble knights knew how powerful mages were. If they had the chance to establish their own mage corps, they wouldn't let it slip by.
Only by mastering magic themselves could they avoid being displaced by the Gewot mages who were rising from the ashes.
Gewot's nobles had no intention of returning power to those lofty mage lords.

It was the busiest market of all. One set after another of Magic Rune Armor and Magic Rune Weapons was brought onto the auction platform and sold for high prices amid a rising chorus of bids.
Magic Rune Armaments greatly enhanced a knight's power. Noble knights were willing to spend their entire fortunes to own a set.
Besides the Magic Rune Armaments sold at the stalls, Dalaran's Alchemical Mages also accepted custom orders.

The mages in each city-state who could make Magic Rune Armaments had orders booked
