Answer

Ruling: The original unit that was equipped with Eye of the Herald when it moved creates the Recruit token at its current location, even though it no longer has the equipment when the trigger resolves.

Sequence:

  • Azir moves (not equipped, no trigger)
  • Chosen unit moves while equipped with Eye of the Herald (trigger is generated and goes on the chain)
  • Azir steals Eye of the Herald and equips it to himself
  • The Eye of the Herald trigger resolves, checking the location of the original unit that generated it
  • A 1/1 Might Recruit is created at the original unit's location

Nuances:

  • The original unit remains the source of the ability even after losing the equipment that granted it
  • "Here" in the ability text refers to the location of the unit that generated the trigger, not the unit currently equipped
  • This follows the general principle that abilities still resolve even if the source unit dies or loses the ability before resolution
