The Violet Hold is a prison complex located in Dalaran. It is the third instance to be located within the bounds of a capital city (after the Stormwind Stockade and Orgrimmar's Ragefire Chasm). The quest 
[75] Discretion is Key, obtained from Rhonin at level 75, grants you The Violet Hold Key, which is required to unlock the door to the instance. You can enter without the key so long as someone opens the door for you.

Background Information
As you enter, Kirin Tor prison guards are fending off invaders of the blue dragonflight. Under orders from Malygos, the blue dragonflight are using magical portals to enter the hold in an attempt to enter the city by breaking through the hold's defenses.
As you talk to Lieutenant Sinclari, the guards leave and your group is left on their own to defend the hold. Similar to the Black Morass instance, there will be 18 portals opening one after another. These portals spawn either a portal guardian which continuously spawns non-elite adds from the portal, or a squad of elite dragonkin who do not spawn adds. Killing the guardian or the squad closes the portal.
On the 6th and 12th portal, an unattackable dragonkin will spawn and open up one of the magically sealed prison cells, each containing a different boss. After you defeat the boss, you will get a small break to catch your breath before the event continues.
On the 18th portal, you will fight Cyanigosa, the blue dragon in charge of the assault on the prison.
- Note: if you are having trouble downing the mobs, there are 5 switches located on the walls around the room. Activating one of these switches will disable the switch and damage all the mobs that are up.
Bosses
You will encounter three bosses in this dungeon, the first two being randomly selected out of this list of bosses:
- Erekem - Captured arakkoa
- Moragg - Captured floating eye
- Ichoron - Captured water revenant
- Xevozz - Captured ethereal
- Lavanthor - Captured Core hound
- Zuramat the Obliterator - Captured void lord
Finally you will always face Cyanigosa as the 3rd boss.
Loot
See Violet Hold loot.
Notes, Tips, & Additional Info
On Heroic, it awards approximately 1300 reputation.
The achievement Defenseless is attainable in Violet Hold on Heroic difficulty which requires players to defeat Cyanigosa with the door's shield still at 100% and no switches in the room being used.
