The Violet Hold is a prison complex located in Dalaran. It has some deep secrets now awakened by proximity to the Tomb of Sargeras.[1][2]
Adventure Guide[]
In the aftermath of the Northrend campaign and the Blue Dragonflight's attack on this Dalaran prison, the Violet Hold was repaired and its cells were repurposed to house some of the most dangerous servants of the Lich King. Now, as Dalaran floats above the Broken Isles as the flagship of the war against the Legion, a shadowy threat once again seeks to strike at Kirin Tor from within.

Trivia[]
- The dungeon was originally described as featuring never-before-uncovered secrets and mysteries pertaining to the origins of Dalaran, the Kirin Tor, and the world itself, which would be awakened in proximity to the Tomb of Sargeras.[1][3] The in-game dungeon offers nothing of the sort. However, the version of the Violet Hold displayed during [45] In Defense of Dalaran features an underground cavern that can be reached through the breached floor of the Hold, a breach that could potentially have been left from the original designs for the updated dungeon. It is also notable that The Frozen Throne depicted Violet Hold as an extensive underground network of caves and jails.
- The text listing what demon is emerging from the portal is frequently wrong. For example, it could state that a Portal Keeper is emerging, when in reality it is a Portal Guardian, or vice versa, with the elite Legion squad being the sole exception.
