The Violet Eye

Archmage Cedric on the outskirts of Dalaran

The Violet Eye are an association of mages and other operatives from Dalaran. They are agents of the Kirin Tor, originally set to watch Karazhan and Medivh. With unusual activity in Karazhan, they need assistance in investigating and dealing with the demonic threats from that cursed tower. Those who gain their favor will find that the are a source of magical knowledge that rivals the Highbourne. At the very least, they hold the secrets to gaining entry into the deeper secrets of Karazhan itself.
