The Eye of Dalaran is a device that was created by the mages of the human nation of Dalaran to focus their magics in an effort to reconstruct the Violet Citadel that was razed during the Second War. 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 it to Draenor. Ner'zhul desired this artifact to focus the dark powers of the underworld for the creation of his portals.W2x Orc 11
