During the ordering of Azeroth, the Pantheon bestowed the Pillars of Creation - powerful relics imbued with powerful magic to the titanic keepers to aid them with that colossal task. Ages after the keepers had completed their work, the Pillars would become lost and scattered across the lands of Azeroth.

Ten millennia later during the third invasion of the Burning Legion, the Tears kept safe in the Temple of Elune in Val'sharah were stolen by Xavius who used the now Nightmare-tainted relic to corrupt the Aspect Ysera. After defending the Temple of Elune from Ysera, the Tears were purified through what was apparently Elune's direct intervention. They were taken by an order leader to Dalaran along with the other Pillars of Creation.

The Tears of Elune were brought to the Tomb of Sargeras, alongside the other Pillars, in order to close the Burning Legion portal.

My love for artifacts, gemstones and shiny trinkets of all sorts have inevitably guided me to the Pillars of Creation. While not all take such form, several of them are of interest to me. I have decided to start working on a series and polish these potent artifacts in a little tribute series. I hope you like the result of the first one, more to come! :)
