The image features the Warglaives of Azzinoth, on display at a museum as if they were artifacts in the real world.

The image centers on a placard that reads, “Warglaives Of Azzinoth

Circa: The Burning Crusade (Patch 2.5.1)

Provenance: Black Temple, Shadowmoon Valley

Notable Owners: Warriors and Rogues who survived 100+ consecutive Black
Temple raid lockouts

Considered the ultimate DPS flex of The Burning Crusade era. Ownership required defeating Illidan Stormrage, a favorable loot system, and remarkable self-control while pretending not to care in voice chat. Many spent entire tiers awaiting the second glaive, only to watch it drop the following reset when they were absent for raid.”

The image centers on a Blood Elf and a Draenei locked in combat. Further in the background, other Blood Elves and Draenei are also duking it out. The scene is set against a dark purple and star-littered sky.

With a hotfix earlier today in Burning Crusade Classic Anniversary, we corrected the level of Riding skill for boosted characters who did not receive Riding correctly. Upon completing the first boost quest "A New Beginning", boosted characters should now automatically receive Apprentice Riding.(1/2)

Artwork depicting the Dark Portal in the Blasted Lands. It’s a massive, rectangular doorway pulsing with Fel-green energy. Dusty, worn stair steps lead up to the portal, and there are two hooded figures with red, glowing eyes hewn into the stone adjacent to the entrance. A curving snake in the shape of a figure 8 is part of the structure above the portal.
