Violet Bluff

The Violet Bluff was a settlement in Grogrond set up by the Kirin Tor for their expedition to Draenor. It was supposed to be the staging ground for the expedition and was where the first portal was set up by the Kirin Tor for access back to the Violet Overlook on Azeroth from Draenor. It was lead by Archmage Sol and her team of mages. They established several mage towers and a sizeably camp before they fell to the dangerous mind bending spores of the Everbloom Wilds. Unfortunately almost the entire team was killed in action. Their deaths lead the portal back to Azeroth to be left undefended from the Draenor side and a genesaur managed to get through. Luckily the Kirin Tor battle mage contingent stationed on the other side of the portal managed to kill the beast. Only three survivors have been found from the Violet Bluff team, Undermage Kesalon, Arcanist Windlebop, and Researcher Sarix.
