==Draenor==
One of Medivh's many areas of expertise was astronomy. He owned books with star maps of constellations of Draenor, the homeworld of the orcs. One of these books described three Draenic constellations: the Staff, the Tome, and the Seer. The book noted that once every five hundred and forty-seven years, a celestial event involved these three constellations and more, with a comet streaking through the Staff and one of Draenor's moons being full right in the middle of the Seer.Beyond the Dark Portal, chapter 16 The novel didn't specify who wrote these books, though they seemed to be written as a first-hand account.
Coincidentally, this celestial event matched up to three artifacts from Azeroth: the Jeweled Scepter of Sargeras (the Staff), the Eye of Dalaran (the Seer), and the Book of Medivh (the Tome). When Ner'zhul combined the three corresponding artifacts with the magical energies released during the event, he was able to open up dimensional gateways to other worlds.Beyond the Dark Portal
There was also another constellation that didn't appear in the books Khadgar had taken from Karazhan, and that he had personally dubbed "Turalyon's Hammer" in honor of his friend.

Much like the blazing star, while its influence holds, new paths may open up, to distant places and even distant times.A Frozen Path Through Time (Warlords of Draenor)
*The Destroyer's star, which shines upon the land with its piercing light as even the spirits retreat to the shadows.

*One alignment of the stars is a dire sign, stirring bloodlust and calling warriors to battle to the death in close quarters. Arena masters turn a tidy profit during these days, likely not understanding why their stands are overflowing.The Arena Calls (Warlords of Draenor)

*One configuration of stars causes an unusual vibration in the crystals strewn across Draenor, relics of the ancient Apexis. Some swear that the crystals will multiply when left unattended beneath the night sky, but none have seen the phenomenon firsthand.The Time to Strike
*One alignment of the stars is truly a strange one, causing the tiniest of creatures to gain unnatural aptitude.
