Lore
This section uses content from the Warcraft Wiki.- Arkonite is a crystal-like material. It was created by Exarch Hataaru of the draenei Artificers after his arrival on Draenor. Harnessing the planet's raw materials, he created these purple crystals as a potent source of arcane energy. The draenei of Azuremyst Isle were eventually able to build back up their own arkonite defense crystals during the third invasion of the Burning Legion.
- Arkonite Crystals are used to power everyday items in draenei society. They power arcane devices and light sources, and they can also be used to channel magics. Arkonite can also be used as defense crystals by the draenei. When the Old Horde almost wiped out the draenei from Draenor, Velen ordered his artificers to reinforce Telredor's defenses. The draenei smiths constructed a network of arkonite crystals that shrouded the temple's presence from the Horde.
- By condensing the interstitial channels in the arkonite and by saturating the pressurized cells with Light magic, the lightforged draenei Zuronar created a device capable of expelling considerable luminescent energy when its internal bonds were compromised, which he believed the Azerothian term would be "flashbang".
