Eye of Dalaran

The Eye of Dalaran is a crystal that was created by the mages of Dalaran to focus their magics in an effort to reconstruct the Violet Citadel. The elder shaman Ner'zhul, warchief of the Horde of Draenor, ordered his minion Teron Gorefiend to invade the city of Dalaran, steal the Eye and return with it to Draenor. Ner'zhul used it alongside other artifacts to open dimensional rifts to countless worlds.
The Eye is the size of a man's head, its center faceted like a star and edged in the deepest violet.Beyond the Dark Portal, chapter 15
==History==
===Second War===
Teron Gorefiend traveled to the city of Dalaran, where the mages had built heavy fortification. He destroyed the shoreline defenses, then he and his death knights broke into the Arcane Vault of the Violet Citadel, and stole the Eye. They killed Sathera and escaped atop the back of Deathwing and some of his black dragons. The Horde of Draenor needed the artifact because it matched with a constellation from their world known as "the Seer". Ner'zhul needed it along with the Book of Medivh and the Jeweled Scepter of Sargeras to await a special celestial event,Beyond the Dark Portal, chapter 16 which would give off enough energy to create a multitude of ultimately unstable portals across the planet simultaneously, which tore Draenor apart.
Khadgar retrieved the Eye once Ner'zhul had opened the rifts, and he gave it to a Wildhammer dwarf under Kurdran, along with the Skull of Gul'dan. The dwarf was ordered to return the artifacts to the safety of Azeroth. As the dwarf passed through the collapsing portal, his screams of agony could be heard by the members of the Alliance on the Draenor side of the portal.
===Legion===
The Eye of Dalaran never made it back to Azeroth and was consumed by a void terror named Occul'tharon inside the Twisting Nether. It was retrieved from Occul'tharon at Tol Barad by Allaris Narassin and the Sixth of the Black Harvest on orders from , who intended to use it alongside the Scepter of Sargeras and the Book of Medivh to open portals to every single Legion world in existence.An Eye for a Scepter While the ritual was stopped and the Scepter was retrieved from Gul'dan,Ritual Ruination it is unknown whether the Eye and the Book were also retrieved.
