Blizzard has officially posted an official preview of their newest Legendary weapon to enter the WOW GOLD : Shadowmourne, a 2-handed axe found in Icecrown Citadel. Within the preview, Blizzard gives some cryptic hints as to what lengths players will have to go to re-forge this giant shiny weapon. In particular, they note that Shadowmourne will need to be "hewn from piles of impure Saronite," and the weapon must be "drenched in the souls of the most potent servants of the Scourge as they are slain, one by one." Finally, the axe must be "adorned with fragments of the Frozen Throne."
Some one claims that Shadowmourne must be nothing more than an ordinary axe, honed to unparalleled perfection, while others would shape it from a weapon of immense import in the world. Mograine, when he can be convinced to speak of it at all, is said to believe that only the hammer of Arthas himself will provide a worthy model, but such absurd ambition is just the beginning of Shadowmourne's creation. Rather than allow us to wield a weapon that will lose it's power without the existence of the Lich King, we get the opportunity to venture on an epic quest and collect very rare materials for the forging of this new, and terrifying axe.
For the moment, the wow weapon is a formless idea, with no more killing power than an angry thought. When it is spoken of, it is spoken of quietly, and the Highlord has a habit of silencing those who discuss it in public. Shadowmourne -- A great two-handed axe fit for a giant, born of sacred and corrupt powers, host of a thousand dead souls and able to be wielded only by the most stalwart armsmasters of Azeroth. Its creation seems nearly impossible; and yet, the rumors do not
cease.
